Gilman Law LLP announced a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court against Trilegiant Corporation and others for allegedly deceiving and scamming consumers with discount membership clubs. According to the complaint, Trilegiant is accused of colluding with numerous online merchants in an effort to sell memberships in the above-named discount clubs. Consumers are allegedly tricked or induced into 'joining' these clubs when they made purchases at websites operated by the following vendors: 1-800-Flowers.com; United Online; Memory Lane; Classmates International; FTD Group; Days Inns Worldwide; Wyndham Worldwide; PeopleFindersPro; Beckett Media; Buy.com; Rakuten USA; IAC/InterActiveCorp; Shoebuy.com. According to the complaint, Trilegiant allegedly gains access to merchants' checkout systems by paying for customers' billing information, including credit card and debit card numbers. Trilegiant also presented consumers with allegedly fake offers on websites operated by these retailers promising incentives such as upfront gifts and cash back rewards but instead charging consumers monthly fees. After being enrolled in these membership/club programs, consumers are allegedly billed each month until the consumer opts out.
