I was trying to figure out why my dad's checkbook wasn't balancing out. Last week, I went to his bank and asked for my dad's checking account transaction record. Lo and behold, I found 2 suspicious unauthorized withdrawals from my dad's checking account. Apparently he got suckered into this via AOL with them offering him a free 3 month trial. Unbeknownst to him, after 3 months, they've been charging him. I questioned his bank and they pointed out the line was an 800 number to this scam company. I called and complained to Travel Advantage (ot whatever they call themselves now) and cancelled his account. They told me they will send me a confirmation stating his account is cancelled within 5 - 7 business days. We'll see. I found out they were making withdrawals out of his checking account the 28th of EVERY month since 2011. That's about $550 he's being blindly ripped off! Was my dad aware of this? No. No wonder he couldnt' figure out why his checkbook balance never matched.

I returned to the bank and expalined what I found out. The only thing they can do since my dad does not possess and credit card or debit card is they will put a block ($35 from his bank) on Travel Advantage to prevent further unauthorized withdrawals. A small price to pay for a piece of mind.

If you use a credit card instead of a debit card you can dispute any charges. The credit card company will stop payments and review the old charges. As with everything, people forget to read the fine print or it is hidden. Good luck everyone.

I had the same problem. Dispute the charges with your credit card company and have them put a block on the company charging your card. The only place I've recently shopped with my card is the Apple Store and that was months ago, the month prior to the charges showing up. I haven't signed up for anything. I wonder if Apple is somehow involved or unknowingly involved even?

please cancel my membership to travelers advantage thank you ! Berny K L

Dispute with your bank and/or CC card, file fraud on this and report this to the FTC and  CFB

I am trying to stop a payment of $16.99 being taken out of my checking account, and I can't find a correct # to call and stop this?  

Mary Link, Cheyenne WY

I need help with a monthly charge from TLG TRVLADV who is taking $16.99 out of my checking account

I'm trying to get in touch with TLG TRVLADV at 800-548-1116 maybe in CT to stop getting charged $16.99 each month, need help with a way to cancel this service.  

I called in November 2013 and ask that this be canceled and I have noticed where I have been billed 16.99 for November and December 2013. I want this to be taken care of now

Did you tell your bank to stop paying?
Did you call your cardmember services- if you have a debit card and that's where they are taking the money from?
Do it quickly, because you can only get back 6 months  worth of charges (usually).

I had the same problem , called VISA as soon as I noticed, but got back only the 6 months, I mentioned.

Hi I signed up with them after a Credit Cleaning company and have already cancelled the credit cleaning co. I just called the 800 number and they were more than helpful to cancel the account. I think maybe over then internet might not be the right way to do it, they always say it takes up to 48 hours and that the longest 48 hours I've ever seen with a lot of companies. Just thought I'd let everyone know to call them and they are helpful with a case number and everything. All you have to do is give that to your frauds dept with your bank if you get a charge and they will cancel the transaction

Did you get a refund or did you just cancel your subscription with Travelers Advantage?  They scammed me and am thinking about cancelling my credit card and applying for another card if I do not get my money back.  I have not used their offers or services so it is money out the door.   Please email me at specialist1008@yahoo.com and put scam in the subject line.  Thanks.

Over a month ago I was on the phone booking a hotel room and they transferred me to these people saying I would get $40.00 cash back on my hotel room, yeah never got it.
Does anyone know how else to get rid of their $16.99 a month scam without having to get a totally new credit card?

Unsolicited $139.99 charge on credit card.  Am trying to remove charge.

Hey I saw everyones posts and went to cancel my TLG Shoppers account the number they gave me was 1-800-526-4848 And the Great Fun number was 1-877-488-9480 they will try to make it so that you keep your account open but if you tell them at the end NO I SAID CANCEL they will cancel it or say they just canceled it

it is a scam. Dont reply these thugs..

que sera eso de tlg ,,me estan sacando dinero y no se ni que de que esss

"TRVL ADV 800-548-1116" has been billing my mother-in-law's credit card $12.99 every month for god knows how long. Makes me sick to think of what we will have to do to get this cancelled and to know she will never see anything back in return. How is this legal?? How do we stop it??

I just printed out last years 2012 charges on my bank card and noticed that from Jan 2012 to July 2012 I was charged $14.99 by TLG*TRVLADV7775977, location number 800-548-1116 for what I don't know.  This is a scam of some sort.  Shame on me for not catching this sooner.  Unfortuanately the time limit on protesting charges has past but I will pay more attention to my monthly statements from now on.

This TLG Shopper has been taking monthly charges out of my acct...when I did not receive anything about it.
When I called to cancel this there was 2 additional charges on my statement.  Contacting BBB  this is a rip off !!!!

If you have charges on your account under TLG TRVLADV or TLG SHOPPER (followed by a series of numbers) it's a fraudulent charge. I was being charged $16.99 twice a month for who knows how long. I blame myself for not catching it sooner, of course.
Had to cancel my debit card, stop payments on the old and new card plus dispute the charges only to get back 90 days worth of them.
Live and learn... pay attention to your statements...

That's Shoppers advantage you can find and link and email them online..

I want to stop with TLG Shoper

its easy to stop.. its called get a new card, because they ask for your card #. get a new card, the payments stop

TRAVELERS ADVANTAGE AND SHOPPERS ADVANTAGE YOU ARE A SCAM. DECEITFUL, DISHONEST, U HAVE NO CUSTOMER SERVICE. I CALLED MY CREDIT CARD COMPANY BACK AND ASKED THEM TO ASSIST. I HOPE U GET CAUGHT!

Why are you charging me 16.99 like every week or every other week?

my 92yr old relative has been ripped off of 271.64 by this fraudulent company she has now passed away and they are still charging her acct. for 16.99 2 x a month. this is criminal and i am angry as hell. i wish to share this crime with others who have been scammed as well !!!!!!!!

cancel your credit or debit card and have a new one issued...this ends the problem.
