To sort of sum up:
It sounds like someone is either pretending to be Apple iTunes to steal from credit or debit cards or using stolen credit cards to purchase from Apple iTunes.
If this happens to you, call the number on the back of your card. Tell them that there are unauthorized charges on your card. Say that you have not purchased from Apple iTunes. Also say that you have found examples online of this happening to other people. Follow the bank's instructions.

My bank advised me to cancel my card and they would reissue another one. They said we could dispute the charge. No other information was available from them.

Inappropriate?I just had this same thing happen to me. There was a $1 charge on my bank card. But oddly my iTunes account shows that there haven't been any charges since July, which is correct. So now I'm thinking that someone was pretending to be iTunes. Also I had a $600 charge on my Discover Card, which is what tipped me off to this whole thing. Hopefully we caught this all in time.

Inappropriate?I have 6 pending charges for APL*MOBILEME in my checking account and I don't have a clue who placed these orders. I do not purchase music online and don't have a clue how someone got a hold of my Visa debit card number. THIS IS AWFUL!!!! SOMEBODY NEED TO STOP THESE PEOPLE!!!
I’m FRUSTRATED

Inappropriate?I made a small trial purchase online for a makeup trial product a month ago. I called & canceled before my trial period ended because the product sucked. A week later I notice I have over $300.00 in charges all from different companies within the UK. They all have an 800 # and none of them work. My bank has disputed the charges one by one & until last week I thought they were done since I got my money back. My bank just called and now there are 3 charges for $87.82 from 3 different companies, & guess what? None of the 800 #'s work. The 4th charge was from Apple Mobile. Funny, I have a blackberry not a damn Iphone & I'm 34 and couldn't careless about a damn ring tone. I suggest to everyone cancel you card because even if you dispute your charges like I did they will run your CC# using a different company name & phone #. Think about how many ppl don't check their accounts like we do. These people need to be punished and put in jail. Robbing innocent hard working people of their own money is just sick and pisses me off. I will fight them till the end and will spend all the money sueing the hell out of them if I have to. I have contacted the BBB, Attorney General, etc. I will not stop until this stops. Cancel your card guys cuz it will happen weekly if you don't. Good luck. I'm glad I bank w/ a bank that doesn't take this stuff lightly & gives me my $ back the following day & goes after them. Best of luck to all that are dealing with this mess.
I’m very disturbed!

READ ALL OF THE RESPONSES ABOVE.
Apple is not doing this. Scammers have discovered that if they steal credit cards and move money with a fake description (APL* ITUNES) alot of people don't notice and they can get away with it.
RUN don't walk to your bank, get new cards and account numbers and fill out a fraud report.
Most of us are just regular people here. We are "real" people but we don't have any connection to Apple , the banks, or to the scum bags in China and Russia who have your money.
I’m frustrated too
