A FREE game called "We Farm" steals real money from iTunes account?

I think Apple should take a serious look on this game - "We Farm" and many others. Although it is a free game, but actually it can steal your money from your iTunes account during your kids playing the game.
My son just played the game for about 10 mins, then my iTunes account was charged for $29.70 for three purchases of some bottles. This is some kind of tricks named Top in App Purchases (Finally I know what it is) that Apple should not allow it happened; since it doesn't need you to punch in the password again to confirm payment.
Now I know that many free games also has the function of Top in App Purchases; so everyone should be very careful when downloading these free games. May be Apple would like to see these things happen again and again because the money steal from our iTunes account with a large portion goes to Apple's pocket.

I understand what you are saying. Everyone needs to take responsibility for their purchases and for their children. Just the same it seems like anytime $ is going to come out of your itunes account it should require your itunes account password and Apple should require this from 3rd party app developers. I can see parents letting their kids play with the ipad....they download a free game app because their parents said that they can if it's free....and then they go on to play it, make purchases and rack up $100 or $200 dollars because the parents are not paying attention to their kids and are letting the ipad "babysit" them....just like many parents let the TV "babysit" their kids. I'm not saying it's right....just that you can't expect every parent in the world to win the "Best Parent in the World" prize.
If I were them - I'd call up Apple Customer Relations to see about getting the $ back or at least getting the app developer to put some sort of impediment in the way of very small children making purchases on the ipad.

    Have you added or changed your credit card details on your iTunes account ? If you have then each time that you do so a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your within a few days or so.

    No. They just want you to review your payment information.
    You can select None for payment method if it's available  >  Mac App Store: Changing your account information
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?

    You've checked the purchase history on your account (Store > View My Account menu option on your computer's iTunes), and have you made any in-app purchases or have any auto-renewing subscriptions ?  If not and you haven't added or changed your credit card details (when you do then a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the details are correct and valid, which should disappear within a few days) then you can contact iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • HT201303 Hi my iTunes account has been hacked by someone in Canada, they downloaded a game called "Game of War fire age" the game is free but the in app purchases are up to £69.99 each time for gold I am very concerned about the security of ITunes at this

    My iTunes account has been hacked via Canada according to an email from apple some one in china tried a few weeks ago but failed.
    I changed my password a couple time now but it seems that someone has hacked it and downloaded a free game called "game of war fire age" as I said its a free game but the in app purchases can be up to £69.99 per purchase of gold?
    This is a worrying thought that my account has been compromised and I am unsure of what to do about it.
    I would like to open a new account but would I be able to transfer all my purchases over to a new account any advice is welcome many thanks for your time.

    i recieved the same email with the same game and it also stated the purchase was from canada i have revieved a few other as well and am concerned i have changed my password a few times now but i still revcieve emails and am very worried. i recieved the email near the date this question had been put up
    however i do not know how they are downloading apps as my credit card details need verification when i download anything , any help would be much appreciated.
