Type of a scam Online Purchase
I purchased a $25 ITunes gift card. I loaded it onto my phone. It only gave me credit for $9.77. At that point I called ITunes Customer Service. 855-779-6060 I called that number and they requested additional money. I located the phone number from the internet. I spoke with C J and his supervisor. The supervisor told me I needed to purchase another $100 gift card. The supervisor did not give me a name. I asked them to block or shut down my account. They stated i would have to purchased another $100 gift card. That would be the only way I could stop people from hacking my account. I called Apple at 1-800-233-0361 I explained what happened. I was told that is not their policy.Tthey would never ask a customer to purchase additional cards. Apple or ITune. I did not purchase the additional card for $100. I am reporting the scam.
