Anyone's credit card hacked in Apple Store 6/24/10 purchasing iPhone4?

Anyone have this issue? Today I picked up my iPhone 4 at Upper West Side Store in NYC. A few hours later I received 5 fraudulent charges for songs and albums on iTunes, iTune receipts sent on my email. This is the first time my credit card has been compromised. How could that be? My credit card was swiped in front of me for my legitimate charges. How was security breached?

This just happened to me with my 3GS iPhine on 6/24/2010. Three charges, each for the same amount, all just under $740.00 each on the same day. Thankfully, my credit card company was very good, unlike Apple, and got a hold of me on the same day to verify. Apple was no help and even claimed my card was not charges and canceled the card. Now I load an iTunes card on my account so if this happens again, and I hear it has happened a lot, again, with no help for Apple, the thieves won't get much. Apple needs to take responsibility for security of its online customers.

    Hello uriah12345,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you dont want to use a credit card with the Apple ID and it wont let you. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

  • Stolen credit card use at apple store

    on Tuesday 4/2/13  2 credit cards  (visa and amex ) were lifted from my change purse.wallet.I got an email stating congrats on a new MAC. well i don't have a new mac.
    someone at the apple store in bethesda allowed a $6600+ dollar amount to be charged on the stolen amex card. anyone in the store verifying identity of the purchaser against the name on the card?
    I called the store today got an automated response requested a manager put on hold for > 25 min. no response.
    I called back asking the automated responder for customer service. explained my situation. Asked if I had filled out a police report. I said I called the credit card company to cancel the card. the person said this is a manger problem but no managers available stating he was only the receptionist. got my number and name and would get back to me.
    the receptionist did not give my a feeling of any urgency or concern on his part. The store allowing a Mac computer to leave the store via a fradulent transaction is a loss for all.

    Then call the police.
    Contest the charge with the card issuer.
    Visa, MasterCard, Amex, etc. have implemented an incredibly stupid rule over the last few years that prohibits retailers for asking for idendification if the card is signed and they do not have reason to believe the card is stolen.
    When you get the replacement cards do NOT sign them. Write " C I D " in the signature space (see ID). When the clerk at whatever store checks to make sure it's signed, they should see that and ask for identification.
    No one at Apple can address your problem. You need to take it up with the card issuer.

  • How do you remove credit card info from apple store app on ipad?

    Is there a way to remove my credit card info on the apple store app on iOS? There is no option for none. I don't mean from iTunes I have a gift card on file in iTunes.

    Do you mean the App store? Both iTunes and the App store use what ever is set up on your appleID, be it credit card or iTunes card. Its the same account.

  • How can I remove my credit card from the apple store?

    Someone stole my credit card. I can't update any of my apps until I put in certain information. Can I remove this credit card information in order for me to update my apps?

    You've logged into your account and viewed your purchase history and there aren't any error messages shown (e.g. 'problem with a previous purchase'), and you haven't got any purchases due (e.g. pre-orders and/or subscriptions) : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information ?

    I updated my credit card info with my apple id and now I can't locate any purchased apps or music, any ideas?

    Sounds like you opened a new account using a new Apple ID. This is the only way you would lose purchases because past pirchasea are always tied to the ID that they were purchased under.

  • Why can't I use my iTunes gift cards in the Apple Store or online to purchase Apple merchandise?

    I have received iTunes gift cards from people who expected that I would use them to buy Apple merchandise.  I understand that there are two different types of gift cards but it just seems intuitive that they would be interchangeable Since it all funnels back to Apple.

    Because this is how Apple has chosen to operate it's business.
    No one here would know why they made that decision and discussing Apple policies and decisions is not permitted here.

  • How do i edit my billing info if my credit card associated with apple id expired and i have a duty to app store from the time when i had the old credit card?

    how do i edit my billing info if my credit card associated with apple id expired and i have a duty to app store from the time when i had the old credit card?
    so the thing is a few days ago i made an app store purchase and i didn't know i was running out of money on my credit card. i realized that only when i tried to purchase another item and it didn't work. nothing special til here. the problem is that meanwhile my credit card was replaced by a new one by the bank because the old one was soon expiring. So the data associated with the old credit card no longer exist.
    i tried to edit my billing info associated with my apple id in order to enter the new credit card data, but the system doesn't allow me to do that.
    so i can neither pay my purchase, nor edit my info, nor access app store anymore.
    what's next? any ideas? thanks

  • I would like to pay for apple tv rentals with a different credit card from my iTunes Store. How can I do that?

    I would like to pay for apple tv rentals with a different credit card from my iTunes Store. How can I do this?

    Any purchases made from the iTunes Store, on your computer, AppleTV, or iOS device, use the same billing information that is associated with your account. To pay with a different credit card, log in to your account and change the payment options associated with your account. If you want to use different payment options on different devices, you may want to consider utilizing multiple iTunes accounts, each with its own payment options.
    To learn more about changing your iTunes account information, see this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918

  • Do I need to give my credit card info to apple in order to sign into their itunes store?

    And why does Apple need my credit card info in order to set up an account for their itunes store?

    It's a STORE, so asking for a credit card is not unreasonable.
    You can try setting up an account without a card following these instructions.
