Cybersecurity Tip #67 – Crap! It was an iTunes Scam!

Have you just realized you have fallen victim to the iTunes gift card scam?

MOVE QUICK before they spend the redeemed cards! And be sure to keep receipts and email evidence.

Here's what you can do to possibly recover your money:

  • Lodge a Police case on the NZ Police Website by clicking Here - it takes a couple of hours to get a case number
  • Lodge an apple support case request by clicking Here OR phone 0800 127 753 
  • HINT - get a free icloud account for authentication first to speed things up. Once authorized you will get escalated to the Apple Security Team
  • They will email you the next steps
  • They will walk you through the rest and potentially refund your cash within a couple of days IF the cash card has not already been spent after redeeming.
Speed is of the essence!!
