|
|
Has anyone else been ripped off by TLG*GREATFN ?
Apparently they have been stealing $9.99 from my credit card for over a year, and I didn't notice until today. I googled them and sure enough there all over the web for being a scam.
Look on your credit card statement for TLG*GREATFN as one of the charges.
I guess what happens is that if you buy something online like at buy.com or cheaptickets.com or a ton of other places, you may accidently check a box for some kind of discount. I never take the free trial memberships so I don't know how they got me. Maybe I checked it by mistake or something.
I don't know why companys like buy.com would have anything to do with a place like this.
I called my credit card company today to dispute the charges. We'll see what happens. First I called the scam company. I had to tell them five times to cancel the membership. The guy kept saying that he would leave it open until I tried it. I finally had to yell at the guy so he could understand me. I said, no cancel right this second, I don't want it.
He finally said he would. Somehow I doubt he will. I told the bank that too.
It's some kind of discount service to get discounts on plane tickets and resturants.
Check your statement and make sure they didn't get you too.

I was only refunded the last charge. Got ripped off for over a hundred dollars because I didn't catch it sooner. It then happeded to me again with another company. Caught that one right away.
