It appears that Apple could do more about it according to the plaintiffs. And it is that there is a lawsuit imposed collectively against Apple that a judge in California accepted the process in which the Cupertino company is supposedly required to take action against a Scam that occurs frequently with iTunes gift cards.
As indicated the multinational is aware of this illegal practice but does nothing to stop you as you profit from a percentage of the purchases made by scammers.
A California court collects the lawsuit
This class action lawsuit comes at a difficult time in terms of the current situation, for Apple it is no different since it is never good to have to go to court. In this sense, according to the ZDNet medium, this type of scams in which the victims are usually elderly people usually occur for years and the modus operandi is deceive older people by demanding payment of a hospital bill, debt or tax payments on an urgent basis.
ITunes gift cards are not used to make this type of payments and according to the complaint Apple is aware of these scams, but does nothing to prevent them since it charges 30% of these cards. It is clear that Apple does not know if the card comes from a scam or not, so according to the plaintiffs they should do more to avoid it. On the Apple website there is a section that explains how to proceed against possible fraud with these iTunes cards, but it does not seem enough. In our country this is something that is far or so it seems, so we should not worry about it, in any case Apple cards are only used to buy things in company stores, so there are no taxes or anything like that, do not be fooled.
