Grappling with life
Just a quick word of warning,
When I got my iphone I set up my itunes account and linked my debit card to the account so I could make purchases and all has been good for over a year.
Last week I had my itunes account hacked and the delightful scumbags helped themselves to a number of gift subscriptions, thus clearing my bank account. I am pretty sharp with my bank account and know exactly what is coming in and out and I check it on a daily basis, so I picked this up the day the money was processed through my account. However my bank could not refund the money until it had actually cleared from my account so my whole account had to be sat in limbo for 3 days whilst I hoped nothing more went out and made me over drawn.
I did get the money back into my account from my bank but now I have forms to fill out to say it was not me who made the transactions, so I hope they don't decide to reverse this.
Meanwhile I contacted itunes and they have frozen my account to investigate, who knows how long that takes??? But all the while I cannot buy anything or update my iphone and apps.
So if you have your debit/credit card as your payment method I urge you to rethink it. My bank said they have been inundated with itunes hacking lately.
