Itunes fraudlent charges

Today, I found two $20 charges for iTunes purchases on my credit card. I disputed both of those with my card company; however, I have a greater concern. I do not have a credit card associated with my iTunes account. I checked my purchases and all show free. So, the only way anyone could have gotten that card information is from my purchased in Apple iPad as that is the card I used to purchase it. So, someone with Apple or someone hacked Apple and used my credit card info to buy stuff off iTunes. Have you had an breaches that I, as a consumer, have not been notified of? What actions are you going to take to protect additional customers? I found pages upon pages of the same issue on your apple support page - how has this not been identified/fixed, yet?

... I do not have a credit card associated with my iTunes account.
To suggest "someone hacked Apple" to get your credit card number when they don't even have it makes no sense. It is likely that your credit card number has been fraudulently obtained by some other means, which can include any number of vendors you used. You might as well suspect someone hacked my computer to steal your credit card. Apple doesn't have it, and neither do I.
Credit card fraud is common, and iTunes gets millions of charges every day. Inform the credit card company, and don't pay the fradulent charges.

  • HT1918 How do I get iTunes to charge my credit card instead of using up my apple credit balance?

    My credit card is offering me a $5 statement credit if I spend at least $5 on iTunes.  Problem is I have a large credit balance - how can I get iTunes to charge my credit card instead of using up my apple credit?

    If you have a balance on your iTunes account then that will automatically be used for purchases before your credit card will be - you can't change how items are billed.
    You could try gifting items to yourself, you can only gift via a credit card (I haven't tried it but I think that you should be able to gift items to yourself)

    You are NOT addressing Apple here at all.
    We are all itunes users like you.
    There is no phone number to call.
    You let your daughter play with your iphone and continue to buy and you think it is somehow Apples fault?
    You can set the restrictions that will stop anyone from making these purchases.  You have obviously failed to do this.  This is your fault.  Not Apples.

  • IPhone 3Gs will NOT recognize iTunes NOR charge with my PC but ....

    My iPhone 3Gs (16GBytes white model) will NOT show up on iTunes NOR charge with my PC but it will charge with the wall plug.
    My iPhone 3Gs IMEI: 01 203100 586260 3
    It is an unlocked iPhone purchased directly from one of Apple store online in Asia.
    I am currently traveling in Asia and using a local SIM card.
    All of a sudden today, it will not charge on my laptop. It still charges on the wall plug. I suspect that it has to do with me plugging the phone into another public but older PC (running Windows XP) - was attempting to charge my phone but that public PC did not show that it was charging or recognizing the iPhone.
    It will not charge or sync no matter what I do. I tried using the power button + home button. I tried holding the home button then plugging in the USB cable. I tried erasing all the data on the phone. All of the above failed.
    Now I have the screen where it shows that I have to plug in the USB cable to activate my phone!

  • ITunes over charge my Debit card 27 time. In the amount $277.16 how do I get my money back

    iTunes over charge my debit card 27 time more in the amount of $277.16 how do I get my money back

    First, report the incorrect charges to the bank that issued your card as incorrect/fraudulent. Then contact the iTunes Store and explain the situation to them:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
    If these charges were for apps you did not purchase rather than being billed multiple times for an app you did buy, you should also immediately change the password on your iTunes Store account.
    You may also want to just remove your debit card information from your account, at least until you get things sorted out. I usually recommend against using a debit card in any situation where it is stored in the online store for just this reason; should something go wrong or someone obtain access to your iTunes account, your bank account can be drained dry very quickly. If you don't have a credit card, I'd suggest purchasing and using prepaid iTunes cards. That limits the amount of damage any fraud or problem can do to you.
    Regards.

    Sorry, but if you see the "connect to iTunes" screen on your phone, the only option is to restore, backing up the phone is not possible at this point, even importing the photos might not work anymore.

  • Itunes has charged my debit card and my gift voucher, how do i go about getting a refund for the amount charged to my debit card

    I recently got a free £25 itunes gift voucher, i used it the other day and the amount was deducted off the debit card. Having looked at my bank statement i found that i had also been deducted the same amount of my debit card. Long story short, itunes has charged my gift voucher & my debit card. How do i go about getting a refund for the amount deducted on my debit card.

    If the page that you postted from doesn't help then you will need to try contacting iTunes support (you will need to give them as much of the serial number and activation code from the card as you can read) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes
