Someone in this case needs to step up and take responsibility and accept the consequences for their own actions (or in this case, inaction). And it sure isn't Apple. This reminds me of people who sue bars for allowing them to get drunk. – iStig, on February 20, 2009 23:07

In the future, might I suggest using a credit card? It adds another blanket of security. MasterCard and Visa both provide excellent fraud protection and reimbursement. – iStig, on February 19, 2009 03:43

I am not a Mac fanatic. Despite owning one, I have no problem with admitting their, and any other company's faults. However, it is ultimately your responsibility to keep an eye on your finances. How are they supposed to know that the email account isn't yours?

I would still call the number posted above. After checking your profile, it looks like you are doing all the right things by filing a police report in order to get your bank to issue temporary credit. Hope things work out for you. – iStig, on February 19, 2009 02:33

If I stole your card number, bank card, or whatever, bought items from Amazon and then you got the bill, who stole your money? – iStig, on February 19, 2009 02:15

Most of you should provide proof that you did not purchase the amount that was drawn from your accounts. Apple sends email receipts – check your email. If someone stole your number, it's a pain in the ass, but there's little the company can do. If all it took was someone yelling at the person over the phone claiming that they were a fraud victim, everyone would do it and everyone would get "reimbursed", including those that are just liars and cheats.

Many of you are failing to make the distinction between Apple stealing your money (which they didn't) and someone else stealing your credit card number and going to town (which is what happened).

Also, Simi – that friend of yours has to be a responsible human being and log out when they're done. It's not a difficult concept, and again, shows a basic failure to understand the difference between the responsibility of the company and the consumer.

Man, am I an /idiot/! The one thing I didn't check was the Tapulous profile page, and Twitter was off. Thanks Dan!
