The 9 & 10 november has managed my daughter, to make 124 purchase in Roblox, without she even have known that she has done it, and without entering any code.
– the Invoices have subsequently been charged by Apple. The invoices have a paragraph. value of 9-89 US$, and it ends up with a totalregning of approx. 1400 DKK.
After a short research on the web I can see that this modern form of trick-theft called ‘in-game purchasing’ and that Apple probably did not have any interest in this for life, since they receive a commission of 30%.
so begins a father, in a letter to the nation!, on what he calls ’the Apple’s money-making’. The danger was thought that he had done everything a responsible father could do, in order to prevent her daughter from getting in financial trouble. But after having talked with Apple, he has become wiser on how stupid he has been. His letter – which Apple has been given the opportunity to comment on – continues, therefore, as follows:
– When I contact Apple, is their starting point that they can’t understand that there are not prompted for a code. They acknowledge, however, that in some apps are not prompted for code, but that it is the consumer’s own responsibility. Apple does not own the apps located in the App store.
– They say also that they do not recommend that you share the Apple ID.
– But our daughter is connected to our apple ID via via Apple’s own feature ’familiedeling’ , and we had to put the setting up to the ’Confirm purchase’, which, according to our belief would mean that we would have to approve a purchase before it would go through.
– the Apple employee informed me then about the ’confirm purchase feature’ only works if there is talk about a ’kid’s apple id, which I’ve never heard of before.
– It worries me very very much is that we as consumers see Apple as a responsible and honest service provider, as we do not put into question by handing over our data and payment information to.
– When so this, in my eyes, honest supplier our information on to a appudbyder, who deliberately choose to ’tricke’ consumers, so that neither the honest provider responsibility, and get 30% commission of appudbyderen, write to the danger, who does not feel that the kind of ought to be legal, and not feel that he – if he has given his permission for this in one of their many updates – have had things explained clearly enough.
What are you thinking?
