Deceptive. Entices Kids to Wrack up Charges Unknowingly - Reviewed on 2007-12-13
5 customers found this review helpful, 16 did not.
The problem with suddenly asking for credit card info when one is using an iTunes card is that the (young) user is not notified when (or that) s/he has run out of credit on the iTunes card. It just suddenly asks for credit card info. My own daughter thought the request was a new requirement just to use the site and so did all her friends AND their parents. (BTW, If it isn't a requirement, iTunes certainly goes out of its way to hide that opt out option once you try to use your iTunes card for the first time!.
My daughter had no intentions of using the credit card for downloads. She thought the downloads were still being charged to her iTunes card. She didn't keep track, she figured it would cut her off when she reached her iTune's card limit. She's a kid, what does she know? Well, her iTunes card had run out (which she did not realize) and downloads automatically began being charged on our credit card!
You can imagine my shock when we got our credit card bill. We thought we were victims of identity theft. No such luck. We were merely victims of Apple's deceptive practices which deliberately prey upon minors. I will not pay this bill, but I will protest it-- loudly. Should they pursue payment, I will be the best buddy of consumer reporters everywhere. Then I will sue Apple. Those who have paid in these situations before, might want to pursue restitution.
Shame on Apple! I consider this thievary, and not by my daughter.
