I think there should be more publicity about this. I had never heard of the iTunes gift card scam, and searched online only after the fact. I have submitted a formal complaint to the ftc. Can they hack your bank account after you gave them the security code on the back?
I was scammed by a guy said he worked for Texaco Global marketing but Facebook profile said he worked for Facebook because I got a Facebook message from whoni thought was coming from s friend on Facebook said she won money saw me on the winners list to click this link which took me to a guy he said to go buy iTunes cards and send pictures of the back he said becssuse the winnings was cash so I thought it was real because the original message came whom thought was my friend I got scammed and then found out after I never got anything and her Facebook was scammed had I known about the ft and about the scam I never would have done it I reported to ft and Apple and tried to contact the guy that runs Facebook he won't even respond to my message I don't even know how to find out if these people get caught how I would know.

You get hooked until they ask for the itunes card.

I fell for the scam yesterday and lost USD on iTunes cards. I only suddenly woke up when fraudsters repeatedly pushed me to get more cards.
Is it possible to file a claim with Apple? It feels like a long short but it seems to make sense. If not, can the bank be responsible for allowing the fake number to appear on bank statements?
I take responsible for being ridiculously gullible and fooled yesterday. I would appreciate any advice from this community. I need help there is a guy name Sam peters says he is with lending club he says I was approved for loan put money in my account and now wants me to send him iTunes card or a steam card. That could be a scam.
Some scammers say make it seem like they put money into your account, and they tell you to withdraw money and buy them a gift card. But after you withdraw money, and give them a real gift card or the numbers from the card the bank says the check was no good, and there's no money in your account.
Some scammers deposit money and then reverse the deposit, after you send them the iTunes or Steam card. Then you have to repay the bank all the money you withdrew. I wish, I read this before I got scammed, in my case with 3 credit cards, that at the end got closed by my banks plus two checkings accounts and I ended up with more debt than I already had it.
I got treated with a history of love, that was supposed to help me get my payout, and conviced me to give information of my credit cards, suppodsly he deposited money to helped me, the money became available into my account, I withdraw the cash and buy gift cards and some elctronics, I ended up shipping electronics oversea, sending cards codes that were real, after maybe 5 days the bank notified me that wasn't cover, the account when negative, and my debt got double, and the fustration that I got scammed by someone suppodsly loved me, and 3 credit cards, and two checking accounts closed.
Someone else contacted me in his own IG account teling me he got into an accident and that he passed way, how convenience all of this with all the pain I feel iny heart I start to see the reality, he vanished after he couldn't get any more of the money from me, and my accounts geting closed.
I wish I have a way to track him down, or the criminals that are working together with him in Russia, suppodsly members of the airbitclub company, probusiness, because that is how everything started, when he started contacted me, under the name of Carlos Bush in IG from Russia, Barnaul. I am wonder is ther is a way to tack down any of them by the serial number of the unlock phone?
NO, you can't use an iTunes card for gas. That is not true. The only place to use an iTunes card is at the iTunes store, to buy online music, apps or books. Just had a guy by the name Micheal Colman try to scam me out of a hundred dollars saying he will marry me in order to get the money his dad left in a will which is worth millions, but I need dollar iTunes card can you believe that I was born at night but not last night.
They called me not once but several times. I answered 2 of them and the same story. I told them wait apple needs to fix my security problem. You mean apple computer company? They said yes. I said oh let me call the FBI. I believe that I have fallen for this type of scam just today, while at work My computer started acting funny last night, and this morning my browser had deleted all of my saved logins.
So, I logged back in to each site individually, and changed the passwords for them. I wanted to also change my Apple ID password, but I was at work, and had no access to the internet, except for my phone, so I searched for an Apple support number, and found 2 of them.
I was informed that my account had been accessed from 3 other states, and from Russia, which confused and concerned me, so I continued to request to change the password.
I know, if it's too good to be true etc In any case, I am pretty certain that i have fallen for this exact scam myself!! I need help. And go buy itunes card for 50 30 min. I waited another 30 min. Well 15 min. Right now it is am. I got a feelings that I got scam fir sending I just hope they don't scam me and used thatch dollar out of my rent the payment.
I just hope they means and keep their promise ,not break promise to me. Her names is hazel brown. Advance American loan If it a scam. This seems like a scam. If they promise you a loan, but say you must send money before you get the loan, that is usually a scam. When you pay with iTunes, it is the same as giving cash. After you give the iTunes number, the value goes to the scammer. If you have the iTunes card, you can call Apple Support at and ask if the scammer used the value.
People, make sure the location on your cell phones is turned OFF. One Scammer was stalking me while texting me because my location was ON. If you use social media to post where you are going what doing, do it after the fact.
I have a military man trying to get me to get him Amazon cards to send his mail to his mom. He still wants the card number and the receipt idk why. If you give someone a gift card, it's like giving cash — and it is nearly impossible to trace.
Military members have an email address that end in ". So I got a call from a loan company who put dollars in my account and told me to buy it all in iTunes and apple pay. I only got because that's all they had at Walmart. After I sent him the codes, I saw it was probably a scam so I still have in my account that he put in and I don't know what to do. He keeps calling me but once he got angry I was sure it was a scam. They put money in my account and they ask me to give it back to them in google play gift cards, today they just asked me to send them a wal-mart to wal-mart money gram.
Some scammers send people fake checks or make a temporary deposit, and trick the people into quickly sending good money to the scammers - before people realize they have been tricked. Later, when the bank finds out the check was fake, or the scammer reverses the deposit, you realize that you must repay the bank the money you sent to the scammer.
Scammers tell you to send gift cards, because gift cards are like cash. They can't be traced. Sending money by wire transfer is also like sending cash - after you send it, you probably can't get it back. If someone says you will get money, but you have to pay them with gift cards first, that's a scam. Scammers love gift cards. It's one of their favorite ways to get your money.
Giving a gift card is like giving someone cash. If you tell someone your bank account number and password, he can take your money - even if he pretends he is going to make a deposit.
There's a guy on Instagram who is asking for donations for his charity and he keeps insisting to buy iTunes cards. He said the iTunes cards are like money. I never heard of it. I asked for the name of the charity he didn't answer back. He keeps insisting for iTunes cards. Been messing with a gorgous yeah right scammer on hangouts for a couple months now and she's really good but it took her a long time to finally ask for money. That is iTune cards. She's claiming she can trade them online to bolster her trading platform??

I've been at this so long figuring it out and really want to know now This Woman's location who she is the business that is the AI That's being used the bot I really don't know but I'm learning so much that I need to get to the Finish Line.
I'm going to expose this person and I'm not going to give up thanks for your help. Someone messaged me on Instagram, told me he was in Afghanistan and kept calling me handsome, and sweetie. He never message me back, his name was Michael Alston. Please be careful, he is a smooth talker. It is your choice whether to submit a comment.

To answer your question padae no there is no direct web browser, but if you send a link such as google to a friend you can click the link and get in the browser.
They let you half the browser while you are in game and it allows you to see walk through guide on screen. I hope this helped.
Now I can select exactly what I want to hear while playing games! I found something out about spotify. Lets say you have premium and it expires. Well spotify on your phone will not let you select specific songs or go backwards, but spotify allows you to select specific songs and use the back button eventhough your subscription expired. This is great! But please please pleaseee bring it to PS4?
And please make more PS5s. I had one in my Amazon cart today but it disappeared. Dang it! I really look forward to trying it out since i just picked up a iphone. As we did with spotify where we could choose what was playing thru the app.
Is there any chance that this is going to be an added feature to the PS4? What a shame. Is there any chance Tidal can be added too? Also, for PS4 too. There are many dedicated gamers who have not had any luck in finding a PS5. Yeeesss finally thank you!
Now pls do SoundCloud next. A lot of underground artists are on that platform. Adding SoundCloud on consoles would be another great way to support them! Where is YouTube Music though? How about support for Qobuz!!! Atmos even better! The console rollout is a disaster how scalpers where able to use bots to control and corner supply and set outrageous prices.
