That sucks. :( Our credit union put a hold on our checking account because of a transaction at the Apple store. Totally embarrassing when I didn't know that had happened and I went to the bookstore and got my debit card rejected when I tried to buy a $10 book. - Rochelle

I think I will be finding a new credit card company. This is not the first time they've done this. My poor husband was at the supermarket and had the card declined! - Meredith

This happened to me when I was out of the country, after I called the bank to tell them I would be having international charges. - Andrizzle Gizzle

I received a 'phone call from my credit card company after spending around £400 in the online Apple store to check it was a genuine purchase. I'd spent over £900 at Amazon the previous week and didn't hear a peep from them! - Timothy Griffin

Apple is a known target of credit card scammers? - DJF

Internet Fraudsters like to use Apple's online service to buy gift cards. They'll repeat it in chuncks of 300-500 untill the card is dead. #SeenItBefore #WorksForABank - Christian (Simply X)

I'm glad they're checking for fraud. My problem is with the fact that they never bothered to try calling before shutting off the account. - Meredith

Agree--it would be much better if they'd call. - Abigail
