Unauthorized charge but refused to refund

Recently someone use my apple account balance to purchase game item and app over $300, i noticed from got email said below


“Your apple account was just used to make a purchase in Roblox on a computer or device that has not previously been used.”


then I immediately changed my password and call apple support to report this happened with refund, they check all the things even they look into my phone together, find out this is not from me because I don’t have that app and also the game.


Final decision was refused to refund. Speak with apple support again says this is first case someone literally logged in my apple id with their phone(iphone SE, i am 14 pro max) and purchased so that is why they refused to refund.


They should notice me when someone log in with my apple account with unusual area or IP(email i got said “ This purchase was initiated from the United States.” but i am in Australia) and decision comes out refuse refund


I feel if same happen again, Apple will refuse refund again. From now on, how can i trust Apple’s security and can put my money in to my apple balance ?



iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 18

Apple provides it here if you disagree with the final decision for a refund. Look forward to your take on both of these similar cases. I provided a link in my first post to the other one.

Thanks for letting me know !

but the purchased issue is happened before i go to that link to change password so i don't think it is not related it?


and when i changed password from there, i select log out all my device and it happened, i assume has no problem? what do you think ?


also when i check the link you sent me first time who has same problem like me, you recommend her email to dpo@apple.com to do next step, should i do it as well?

Yes, you should. Just trying to get an understanding on if there is some connection between you two that would provide an explanation.


To confirm, did you see the purchase amount by looking at your Purchase History before changing the Password on your account?


Is it possible to copy and paste the text of the email you received without providing any personal information. The other poster used a picture which does not reveal the contents of the link. I am most interested in just the part that contains the link.

Our posts are a stepping over each other.


The email address is to a box for a closer inspection of disputes resulting from transactions in the Apple Stores mentioned.


This would seem to be a last effort to resolve disputes.


If the address is used in any other context, such as receiving an email or text/message from that address, it’s very suspect of being spoofed.
