Really strange situation. I entered a $50 iTunes gift card the other day from Christmas, and noticed a day or two later that it had been completely depleted.
I went in iTunes and checked my purchase history and found about $100 worth of apps that I did NOT buy. I hadn't even heard of some of them. There was one charge to iMobsters for $49.50!
I contacted Apple and gave them a list of each purchase that was not made by me. I found the whole thing very odd because in order to do this, someone must know my iTunes account password. They obviously don't mind using my account all the time?
Apple escalated my case a couple times until I got to a senior iTunes rep. Two days later I received an email notifying me that over $300 had been refunded to my Credit Card, and my iTunes account would be reenabled once I verified a couple questions.
I'm assuming that they refunded me for every purchase I have ever made. Very generous!
Update:
Bummer, it looks like they are only refunding me around $100 now. Which is what I deserve, because that is all that was downloaded fraudulently, but still a bummer! To quote the Apple rep, "There was a mistake in your refund email.".
