The case of credit card theft is never uncommon, this time on iTunes. Someone has not used Apple products for 5 years, but the bank card has been stolen in iTunes for more than 4,000 US dollars.
On July 22nd, Singapore media reported that many people’s credit cards were stolen on iTunes.
Two people told Channel NewAsia that they all lost at least 7,000 Singapore dollars. One of them received a message from HSBC and said that her credit card quota was less than 30%. After consulting with the bank customer service, she found that her credit card was stolen on iTunes.
These credit cards were stolen in iTunes and involved a number of banks including HSBC, UOB, DBS Bank and OCBC Bank.
Vincent Tan, head of credit card at OCBC Bank, said that they had previously detected anomalies in 58 credit card accounts and that they had stolen brushes on iTunes. They have already refunded these stolen brush transactions.
A customer named Chen Yi Ling of DBS said that she has not used Apple's services and products for at least 5 years, but her bank card continued to make 27 deductions of $163.43 on July 11, and lost. More than $4,400.
When Apple contacted her, she said that her Apple account did not appear to be traded, but her bank card was used by a fraudulent iTunes account. Apple cracked the scam iTunes account and refunded 20 of the transactions.
Since the case of credit card swiping on iTunes has appeared in Singapore, Singapore's UOB said it has stepped up monitoring of iTunes-related transactions since last week.
Apple Singapore said it is also investigating the matter, and the specific results and treatment have not yet been announced.
In terms of knowing, we also found that many netizens have experienced the bank card being stolen in iTunes. Some are bought after the iCloud storage space, there is a big stolen brush, and some are stolen by binding the family sharing sub-account.
All in all, Apple ID needs to turn on 2-step verification, and also pay attention to the safe use of credit cards. (The road is one foot high and one foot high, Apple and bank customer service are very helpless).
If you see "itunes.com/bill" or an unfamiliar charge on your bank, credit card, debit card, or mobile phone statement, you can do this first:
View purchase records at reportaproblem.apple.com and compare them with the statement; check the status of the subscription to see if the fee is from a family member's subscription; check all of your Apple IDs to see if a payment method has been added to another Apple ID;
If you still find a certain unrecognized fee, then quickly contact Apple customer service and bank customer service.
