800-285-5903

Overview

This number seems to be associated with "Great Fun!", an affiliate marketing web site owned by Trilegiant Corporation offering discounts from "buy.com, Shoebuy.com, Bagsbuy.com, Deep Discount DVD, Deep Discount CD, and more!"

Encounters

Apparently many people have received erroneous credit card charges from an entity whose description includes this phone number and some variation of "great fun":

• 2006-06-29 Cheaptickets.com - TLG*GREATFN - GREAT FUN at ripoffreport.com
• 2006-06-21 Tlg*greatfn17992564jun at complaints.com
• 2006-06-13 TLG*GREATFN57829630MAY 800-285-5903 CT at complaints.com
• 2005-11-05 GREAT FUN NOV 800-285-5903 CT
• 2005-08-21 Buy.com and Great Fun Are Inept
• 2005-04-13 Scam - "TLG*GREATFN" transactions on Credit Card statement
• 2005-03-07 trilegiant tlg

It may be that this is something that is technically legal, perhaps buried in fine print during the check-out process from one of the affiliated vendors, but if so it is apparently confusing enough that many people did not realize they were signing up for it.
