Stolen Credit Card Used on iTunes?!

This might be the wrong area for the question but oh well. My friend had a credit card stolen and the people bought several iTunes purchases, about 1,000$ worth. I am pretty sure apple could track this and help the police, but I am not 100%. I would just like to know what you all would think on this issue? Will apple be able to track the purchases?

I'm not sure what you mean by "track". The account will certainly show a record of purchases as well as the name and address information provided by whoever opened the account, should that be factual. What they can provide the police or the credit card company and whether they could find the account just by a credit card number I don't know, but I do know that they would only respond to the police or credit card company; your friend wouldn't be able to request any such information him/herself.
I don't know if that helps you or not.
Regards.

  • 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.

    On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link.  If you are doing it on an iOS device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and selecting 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

    If you don't get the 'none' option then do you owe iTunes anything : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366 ?

  • HT2534 I have a $70 credit in my iTunes account but when i bought an album last night it charged by credit card not the itunes account. How do I reverse this and get the itunes account used up first?

    Ihave a $70 credit in my itunes account but when I purchased an album last night itunes charged my credit card, not my itunes account. How do I get this reversed

    How did you create the account ? Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
    If you are being prompted to review the account then see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054
    If not then you will need to enter your credit card details - you should be able to remove it after entering it.

  • HT1918 how can I remove my credit card info from itunes?

    how can I remove my credit card info from itunes?!

    Follow the instructions in the support article from which you came and select "none" as the payment method. If you don't see a "none" option, you may have an outstanding balance that you owe. If you've been using a true credit card that's unlikely, but if you've been using a prepaid "credit" card or a debit card where there is a balance, it's a possibility.
    Regards.

  • 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
