Not to my house they didn’t. Apple is banned here since they wouldn’t help stop the unknown jerk who was ordering their carp using my credit card. Apparently, it wasn’t serious enough for giant Apple, never mind it was big time serious for little bitty me.

I still don't believe you. It is NEVER a retailer's job to stop the use of a credit card, bgill. I know. I accept credit cards. YOU have to tell your credit card issuer and THEY stop the fraud. The retailer cannot catch the crooks and cannot know that YOU are not trying to pull some scam on the legitimate owner of the card. Sorry, if you called my office and said stop Joe Blow from using my card. I'd tell you to call the credit card company and cancel your card! That is the ONLY way to stop the charges on your credit card. Why should Apple believe you did not charge or authorize the purchases yourself???? They have no way of knowing you didn't.

Apple now has ONE BILLION credit cards on file. . . There is absolutely no way they can put a watch on for your credit card out of all the cards that may be used and stop it. YOUR card company can simply just not authorize it. It's their card. Simple. YOU bgill, are the one being completely unreasonable.

Put the charges in contest with the card company.

I never use credit cards to pay for carp.

I agree with you, I am now up to 7 Apple devices in my home. Over the holidays, I picked up a 128GB iPod Touch.

Now I also own an iPhone and some might say why would I buy an iPod when I have an iPhone? Redundant isn't it?

Not really. I now have a device that I can play my music on without draining my iPhone battery. With all that storage, I can download tens of thousands of songs to store offline for when I go hiking or away from wi-fi streaming.

So with my MacBook Pro, my iPad, my iPhone, and now four iPods of various generations, I now have 7 Apple devices. Not as many as you but I'm getting close.

Definitely an amazing company.

Sheesh, what a lame excuse to blame on Apple or any other company. As soon as I discover my card has been compromised, I call the credit card company; they cancel the card on the spot and refund the bogus charges. It has never occurred to me to blame the merchant who took the stolen card. It’s not their responsibility to fix the problem. It’s YOUR responsibility to cancel your card and get the charges reversed, not Apple’s.
