Type of a scam Identity Theft
These people are scammers. I was reaching out about unauthorized iTunes charges on my bank statement and was trying to get refunded. I was told that over the last year, there had been someone in North Carolina with access to my bank card and over $1000 had been purchased in iTunes products. The iTunes rep(scammer) told me that i needed to purchase iTunes cards($100-ea) so that the funds could be dispersed. I was told that it was unsafe to deposit directly onto my bank card because of the fraudulent activity. I reluctantly/ stupidly went to purchase these cards, thinking that I was going to be refunded the year worth of charges. I was asked to scratch the back of the card and provide them with the code in which I did. I was given a confirmation number and transaction number, as well the (fake) reps extension and phone number in case we were disconnected. I was told that the funds would be back in my account within 24 hours. After hanging up I contacted ATT/ was directed to the (Real) iTunes rep and apparently I was another one of their victims. I was told that they had been scamming people via iTunes cards. The ATT iTunes representative checked to see if they could give me a refund, however the funds were already depleted from the card and I’d have to dispute this charge with my bank. Now I’m just hoping that I am refunded my hard earned money. This is pathetic that low life’s scam people out of their money/ I wish people like this would go away never be seen again.
