For Apple, Pressure Builds Over App Store Fraud!
In a little over an hour, Ryan Matthew Pierson racked up $437.71 in iTunes charges for virtual currency that he could use to buy guns, nightclubs and cars in iMobster, a popular iPhone game. One problem: Mr. Pierson, a technology writer in Texas, has never played iMobster.
"This was fraud," said Mr. Pierson, recalling the November incident. "I woke up, checked my e-mail, and I could see these purchases happening in real time."
