Fraudulent purchase from Addmired, Inc, for Global War & Global War HD?

I didn't purchase any apps today, free or paid until the end of the night when I finally broke down to buy Tapatalk.  When I tried to buy it said I did not have enough credit for the $2.99 purchase.  I couldn't see much on my iPhone so I hopped on my computer.
I logged in to iTunes it showed the following purchases made this morning at 09:06 AM:
Global War, v2.13, Seller: Addmired, Inc     Application     Free
Global War HD, v2.13, Seller: Addmired, Inc     Application     Free
Global War, 310 Honor Points, Seller: Addmired, Inc     In-App Purchase     $4.99
Global War HD, 310 Honor Points, Seller: Addmired, Inc     In-App Purchase     $4.99
Apparently shortly after that the following songs were purchased at 09:14 AM:
E.T. (feat. Kanye West)     Katy Perry     $1.29
Give Me Everything (feat. Ne-Yo, Afrojack & Nay...     Pitbull     $1.29
A Falling Through     Ray LaMontagne     $0.99
I was able to report a problem on the three songs but apparently Apple does not feel it necessary to provide a conduit for fraudulent app purchases.
I have never hear of this "Global War", I'm also not sure why I would have downloaded these two versions and immediately purchased "Honor Points" for them.  I hope this developer is shut down for this shady practice.  I do not have an easy password to guess but I will change it anyway.
Thankfully I only had a $15 gift card loaded on my iTunes account and not my credit card.
I am an IT professional and am very cautious about what software I install on the computers I use and don't fall for phishing scams.
I do not believe my password was used in this purchase and am seriously questioning the security of iTunes.
Please Apple make this right and thoroughly investigate this.  If I can't trust you I will no longer be a customer.

The problem may not be Apple or iTunes but with Addmired, Inc.  The company which created those games.  The games are loaded with hackers, subject players to high levels of harassment, threats, and profanity from other players and yet, there is NO support from Addmired in regards to helping players who try to report the harassment or ask for help.
I have been unable to play any of the games by Addmired, (iMob, Global War, Original Gangstaz) due to constant harassment from hackers who located me after I responded to a request for help from another member of my 'gang/mob'.  Now, because I was stupid enough to try and help someone - I am being bombarded by threats, harassment, profanity laced messages and unable to even play the game because an obvious hacker using a jailbroken iphone / ipod attacks me again, and again, and again so that I can't play the game.
Addmired needs to be addressed, if they are going to charge players for a 'free' game where you pretty much have to buy the additional points (street cred, respect.. whatever they want to call it) then the company has a responsiblity to it's customers to provide support against harassment in the games yet they do not!  I have tried for weeks to get help from this company, sending emails to them through the contact form on their website with no response, and no action taken against the individuals harassing me.

    how can I use apps that I have purchased from Apps Store for Mac on my iPad2?

    Thanks, varjak, it is too easy to fall into use of jargon assuming everyone understands what it means.
    One additional point in all of this, not all "iDevice" apps run on every "iDevice".  Some are customized for a specific device, or class of devices such as the iPod/iPhone with their smaller screen.  Others for just the iPads for their larger screens.  So the user needs to be sure they are getting an app that will work on their specific device.
    And to Phoneboone, you do need to purchase the app again if it is for a different class of equipment.  When you are looking at apps such as iWorks for the Mac and iWorks components for the iPad, the iPad versions are very inexpensive.  Pages is only $10 (US) which is really cheap for such a good word processor that reads and saves in the MS Word format.
    Anyway, search for what you need and just enjoy the convenience of so many options for apps.

  • Issue after purchasing from apps store for New IPad

    When I purchased apps from apps store for New IPad, it keeps pops out the information with " cannot connect to the iTune store," but my wifi are going well on the safari for every browsing, skype ...etc., even browse the apps store, I tried to reset the iPad once. It went to normal just for a while, it is not working again now, anyone know what's going on on my IPad or any way to solve ? .. thx

    I've encountered a similar issue after having restored my iPad from a backup saved on a MBA. All PDFs (+100) are gone. The customized headings of the categories are still available but no more PDF. I guess that those PDFs were saved on the MBA during the synchronization of my iPad via iTunes. Is there a way to restore them ?

  • International / foreign purchases from other countries for dual nationals

    My Friends (quoting John McCain),
    I live in both the US and in France splitting my time between the two countries. I have 2 houses. I have 1 credit card in France and 1 credit card in the USA. I have a billing address in each country.
    I have an iTunes account based on my US credit card and billing address. When I download music purchased from the US store everything goes into my account. No problem. Love iTunes.
    However, I also want to buy French music (C'est normal, non?). I understand the need to have a credit card and billing address in the country. I do.
    The problem is the only solutions I see to this problem are to: (A) set up 2 separate iTunes accounts, one in the USA and one in France, or (B) somehow purchase gift cards for myself in France and buy from iTunes France but using my single US account.
    If I set up 2 accounts, I can't merge my libraries... or at least I'm not sure how I could do that.
    I have not tried the gift card idea. I'm not sure how to purchase them or how it would work. But it seems like this might be the only solution.
    Does anyone know which is the best solution?
    Or does anyone have simpler or more creative ideas on how to deal with this problem?
    I'm sure I'm not alone.
    Thanks in advance to all of you who have posted before me and to all of you who might respond with ideas.

    So, set up an iTunes France account. You qualify.

    Yes, this would be the correct solution.
    (B) somehow purchase gift cards for myself in France and buy from iTunes France but using my single US account.
    You can't use French gift cards with a U.S. account so that wouldn't work.
    If I set up 2 accounts, I can't merge my libraries... or at least I'm not sure how I could do that.
    Just because you have two separate accounts doesn't mean you have to have two separate libraries, as far as I know. I haven't tried this as I have only one account but you should be able to authorize you computer to both accounts.
    And, although you're not alone, you're certainly in a minority.
    Best of luck.

  • Trouble getting numbers that I purchased from the Store for my MAC to get on my IPAD.

    I bought and downloaded Numbers for the iMac a couple years ago. I just bought an iPad and was told I could download numbers at no charge. I had the same problem with Pages, finally gave up and purchased it again as I needed it to get iCloud working. While working with iCloud I realized I needed to upgrade pages on the MAC which I did, so I upgraded numbers at the same time. All good there. I have more time now, so would like to get numbers on my iPad but I'm not keen on paying again.
    I have the same Apple Id as we set it up in the store when I bought it. I tried sync using iTunes but numbers won't show up in the apps for me to transfer. I tried to follow instructions re going to the app store from iPad, click on purchases. It still doesn't recognize any purchases except for the few games I downloaded on iPad itself.
    Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

    Well before you got too hard on them, keep in mind that often customers don't properly lay out their scenaro, which causes misconmunication.  And then you may get the right advice, but for the wrong scenario.
    But just in case you may doubt me as well, feel free to get a third opinion, as I may have misunderstood you as well

  • HT204411 Why are games & music not available for purchase from AppStore & iTunes for south Africa?

    I get a cannot connect to ITunes error when trying to access iTunes store.  Also I cannot doWnload certain games from AppStore.  After searching I found out that these options are not available in South Africa.  What would the reason be that certain countries don't have access to these options?

    Hey ascott57. This is also disinformation. I have personally spoken to the head approver of games in the FPB in South Africa. The rating charge is only applicable for DISC-based games that are sold in stores, so that parents can identify the games for an age group and also for stores to know when not to sell a game. When a game is sold on a mobile system, it is automatically exempt from this rating system, as the selling platform has automatic parental guidance systems built-in.
    There is NO reason why developers are not allowed to publish games to South Africa on the iTunes App Store or Mac App Store. This is Apple not having a section, so developers cannot even target that category, because it simply doesn't even exist.
    I registered as a games developer for iOS and when I found out that if I develop games for iOS, I can't even publish it to my own country, I let my developer registration lapse on purpose in protest.

  • I need to know how to file a complaint against Addmired, Inc

    I have been playing the games offered by Addmirred Inc (iMob, Global War, Original Gangstaz) as do my kids.  I am being harassed continually by several other players in these games, and repeated attempts to contact Addmirred do no good at all.  I have tried to contact the developers of the game using their posted twitter feed, through Facebook, even sending emails reporting the harassment and threats using the "Contact" form on their company website.  I have received no response.
    I am unable to even play the games because of the level of harassment and attacks..  and while this is a small detail my 12 year old son also plays their games and I don't want HIM to find himself being targeted by people the way I have been.  The games are rife with hackers, players who have no weapons, no 'gang', and yet can destroy a legitimate player with only a few hits. 
    I have paid money into these games for extra points to help in building my game strength, and have also paid money for my children to do so as well.
    In a multi-player game like this, there should be some way to report such blatant harassment and yet there is not.  You can click a 'report' button but it does nothing.  I have been sending reports and trying to reach someone at this company for some time, and at this point am going to make my kids remove their games from their ipods / iphones as well as remove their products from my iphone as well.   A game should be a bit of fun, not a place to be subjected to profanity, threats, and constant harassment from a few people who have jailbroken phones or ipods and are able to cheat by hacking the game.
    There has to be a way to complain to Apple about the level of harassment taking place in these games...
    Anyone know how?

  • Tranferring purchases from old phones to Mac

    I have recently purchased a Mac Pro workbook. My old computer is a windows based pc.
    I have had an iTunes account for 5 years plus. Over this period there have been various purchases made on 3-4 phones as I have upgraded. When I attach my iPhone and select transfer purchases or back up to this computer iTunes only transfers what has been purchased on my latest phone which seen as I upgraded to iPhone 6 November time is not that much.
    is there anyway to force a sync of all items? I realise I can back up to iCloud however my music library is significantly above the free 5 gig allocation and I do not really want to pay for additional storage space just to perform this task. Likewise I currently do not have an external storage drive to transfer between computers.
    Any help much appreciated.

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    It is also possible you have made the mistake of using multiple AppleIDs to make your media purchases.  That makes things a right mess and there isn't any way to undo it other than making sure you always maintain backups on your computer so you never have to sync from your phone or redownload from the Store.

    I have been using a Lightroom 5 including recent upgrades on my Mac Pro laptop for the past 1 year. This was purchased as an upgrade from Lightroom 4 for which I have a serial number. Today I purchased a new Macbook pro and loaded my Lightroom 5 however it is asking for my serial number which I have misplaced. I am unable to trace my serial number anywhere. I have even checked my adobe membership to locate my serial number but it does not seem to have any record which is strange as I have been using this software for over a year now and the previous versions since 2009. Could someone help me in my predicament.
