TLG Great Fun

Do a search on the name or number and check out their activity. Scam artists. Their web site was shut down in December.

Here's a complaint I filed with Consumer Affairs.

Incident
They've debited my account since June. I only noticed it today for the 2nd time. When I called and asked the person on the other end what kind of business they were, he responded by asking what was the matter.
I told him my account was being debited for $11.99 and I want to know who they were. The response? "Is there a problem with us debiting your account?"
Well yes, since I still have no idea who you are and I've asked 3 times. I hung up and called Bank of America. We'll see if it's worked out.

So call now and call often.
Give them a big FU from Sloww. I did.

FYI Sloww, our foreign friends can't help. 800 numbers are domestic US only iirc.

Who are these people Sloww? I don't want to try to track a phone number.

After the hassle of everything so far, the charge had posted. I called the bank immediately and found out they had been charging us since June. We never got any services from this company or any paperwork with account information either. The bank did a 3-way call with the company and I. I got disconnected after a few minutes on hold. I called the bank back and they were going to try it again but for fear of the same thing happening I told them I would call myself. I got an incompetent moron on the other end who was less than no help at all and told me my account was canceled and I would receive a refund for 2 months but would have to mail my request for the other 2 months in writing to their address. I called the bank back. I asked to get them blocked from my account and they said they would charge me a 25.00 fee for a stop payment which is not fair because we never authorized them in the first place! They advised me to file an actual claim against the company. Here we go again! We finally got the 3-way call with the bank, the company and me and I said that I have not received any services from them, no statements, just money missing from my account.

The guy on the phone said that my husband had accepted the charge when he bought a CD from COLUMBIAHOUSE! Great fun offered us an extra 10% off and other 'amazing' stuff if we signed up and paid their monthly fee. Now how does that make sense??? 10% off a 15.00 CD for the price of an 11.99/Mo. membership charge? I don't think so! I'm sure that's not the only company doing shady stuff like that! It took the lady at the bank on the phone with me and the company to get anything done. They offered to send me the incentives and discounts and stuff I never received from them and I said I don't want your stuff I want a full refund of everything and I want this canceled! He finally gave me a cancellation confirmation # and said I would receive ALL the money back that they charged me within 10-15 business days. Again... We'll see!

Bank of America rep says they'll give me back every cent that was debited.

Did you ever buy from Columbia House, Sloww?

[Wezil]

I hate scam artists.

[SlowwHand]

I have a feeling this was something that may have started with Playful.
I pay utilities and cable online, but that's about it.
I carry cash. I don't like having the trail on the account.
Only recently started the habit seriously, which is what let me spot this easier.

[DRoseDARs]

Well, as long as your bank says they'll cover you I guess it's OK, but I'd still file a complaint with the Texas State Attorney General's office.

[SlowwHand]

I'll check that out. Thanks.

[DRoseDARs]

SAGs usually love to go after these kinds of fraud cases. But definitely make sure this ISN'T something Playful signed up for using your card BEFORE you file, otherwise it may be interpreted as a legitimate charge to your cc and in that case your attempts to cancel will become a separate and potentially much worse hassle.

Or "Girls Gone Wild" or AOL? I hear they're both impossible to stop once you order from them.

[DRoseDARs]

Or Pringles. Once you pop, you can't stop ... vomiting.

Still, gotta be better than the Nigerian banking scam...
