866-712-7753

I just got a new iPhone and signed up for the 60 day trial of mobileme, that's what created the pending charge for $1.13, creating a new iTunes account is what caused the pending charge for $1.00. This is standard practice to make sure a credit card is legit when YOU enter it, even for "free" stuff. It may take up to 2 weeks for the pending charge to disappear. If you end up purchasing something during that time(for example a $0.99 song off iTunes), they'll just take it out of that pre-authorization.

Seems like there's another group of people on here that have had their card numbers stolen and have not only the initial pre-authorization, but actual purchases(probably on iTunes) by whoever stole their CC number. Those are the ones that should be calling their CC companies to report fraud. The pre-authorization people just need to wait it out and remember the stuff they used their cards for.

866-712-7753 - this criminal is still alive and well in July 2009. Charged my  bank account 37 or so dollars, didn't buy anything, don't own an I-anything.  Disputed with my bank and they said they would definitely investigate.  Somebody needs to string miss candy apple up by her ithumbs.

Same here. CHecking up on my accounts with online banking and saw an odd $1 fee, from some number that said apl itunes, ca.
I hope the prick thats running this scam gets caught

i had money taken out of my acct--the phone number is a sham---total fraud

this must be the same co thats committing fraud on alot of people including me. i will be reporting this also

they are also using the number 888 705 1345

This scam is still active.  It just happened to me and I have reported it.

Unable to reach a human being on the number , sent to a web site, had already called the bank and had it posted as a fraudulent charge, but they had added napster and skype with charges totalling close to $200.  The bank has posted all three as fraud, napster was the only people I could get hold of and also listed it as fraud and gave me a case #.  Needless to say I had to cancel my card and the inconvenience is making me very angry.  This all apparently started with APL mobile me which I also did not order. I check my accounts every day, so caught it still pending, but beware out there.

did not receive a call, this info was taken from the internet

Did not receive a phone call, info ripped off from somewhere on the internet

Temporary charge for $1... I called my CC... the lady didnt seem to care... I wanted to reach through the phone and slap her.  I talked to someone else... she immediately closed the account and the $1 will be refunded back.  They will monitor the new account for any charges associated with APL iTunes...  Glad I caught it before it went any further.  Closing the account is a pain though.

My husband got a charge on his acct the other day. It showed up in his pending transactions: 1:05 AM --- VISA Check POS Debit $1.13 --- APL*MOBILEME WWW ME COM CA  (there were 4 transactions just alike)

He immediately called the bank and they are issuing a new acct. number and what not.  

So look out.

I opened my credit card statement to find three different charges totalling around $100 from Appl Itunes and this phone number.   I don't own an I pod -- don't download music at all, neither does hubby.   Called my credit card company and they said they had a 4th charge pending for roughly $65 -- so now we're talking $165.   Had to cancel my card, and fill out fraud paperwork with my credit card company.   I'm just happy I never use my debit card online because I think these people got the credit card offline somehow.   This scam is still active as of middle of August 2009 -- watch your statements!

This just happened to me.  Call your bank right away.

NOT SURE BUT I HAVE A MONTHY CHARGE FROM DEBIT CARD DID NOT SIGN UP FOR

Another series of unauthorized transactions over 2 weeks for almost $200? What is with this? No one in our house does iTunes, but someone is using this number to try and bilk us of some easy cash...
I urge constant credit card monitoring so losers like this don't steal your money. Funny it happens at a time when I was preparing for a campout and not checking my bank statements at the time. Lesson learned--don't let your guard down! Credit cards aren't safe anymore...
Immediately contact your bank and file reports online so other people are aware of scams!

No call- charges from APL*ITUNES ranging for $260+. Files a fraud claim with Bank, filed Police Report, and called Apple who thought I was the trying to scam them since my address did not check-out with their billing address on file. The billing address they had is obviously a fraud but they didn't seem to concern with the 30+ transactions (just happy to take the money)...End of August 2009, SCAM is strong and going...

Had a recent charge of $1.00 to my debit card. Called my bank and canceled my card and reported fraud. Hopefully this won't happen again with my new card.

They got one of my accounts for $80 and another one for $1, its a fake and if i find the person or persons thats doing this im going to SHOOT them and then im going to give everyone else who was a victim a bullet so they can shoot them too!! All i know is that there in CA, IM COMING FOR YOU!!

I'm meeting with the State Police this morning after being hit the second time by Itunes in a two year period.  The first time it was over $400.00 and in the june 09 it was $645.00 dollars. Do not give up the fight to make this company pay.
