TLG Great Fun Ongoing monthly credit card billing scam. Internet

This company dupes you into signing up for a couple of months of free subscription to a travel/eat-out discounts deal which sounds fine on a quick reading. The problem is in the fine print where they start billing you monthly a couple of months after you have forgotten about things -- and you cannot understand what started the billing.

Legal or not, what these people are doing is unethical. They take unfair advantage of travel web site users by purposely constructing things so that you are unlikely to notice the fact that billing will start. Then, when billing starts two or three months later, you don't know what got it started.

The web sites which allow a TLG Great Fun link should be criticized for permitting this. Price Line is one. Others are listed in other reports on this web site.

If you phone these people and demand a refund you will get it -- but you have to tell them you want a refund. They instantly offer to cancel the monthly billing, but they do not offer a refund unless you ask.
