“You put money on your Apple Card, and Apple just go in your account and take your money bad business Apple you don’t just go account and just take their money just because it’s sitting there refund my money back!!!!!☹️☹️☹️☹️”
“Never again will I buy an apple product. The service and the product is below standard. I bought a new iPhone, used my old Apple ID password one time and haven’t been able to use it again. It has taken me 7 days plus to recover my account so I can change my password and I’m still waiting and they refuse to help me to resolve this. The give me some nonsense about security, It’s beyond frustrating.”
“This company and it‘s customer service and the way they treat their employees in their stores is the worst of it‘s kind. Capitalistic and really evil management. They can‘t keep their promises. Their green washing statements are made for really stupid ones. Aluminium cases are not better than plastic and their products are simply overpriced. My homepod 1. Generation died after only 4 years. All they want, is your money! I used to love their products, but I discovered, that their high-pricing strategy is nothing more than making money out of foolish people, who buy their products.”
“I'm been trying to get my phone to work for a month I forgot password and they lock my phone now they are telling me that is not my phone number or my email is not correct”
“I bought an Apple Iphone 16 Pro Max, I did not open the box it was still sealed, UPS picked the handset up from my apartment which I had a confirmation email, a few days later it showed it had arrived back at Apple, I contacted them the day after and said this was a mistake the handset hasn't been returned back to us and asked for all the necessary documents to prove the item was picked up. ANYWAY almost a week later they received the parcel from UPS and they told me the box was empty! Todays date is the 12/11/2024 and after a weeks investigation with UPS they confirmed they completed a review with the carrier and they are unable to provide a replacement or a refund! Absolutely disgusting, never buy a product from Apple online! BEAWARE!!!”
“All of the agents today were so patient with helping me. I had an issue with my microphone on an app.They took me step by step problem is resolved now Thank you Apple Support 👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️ Love y’all”
“I ordered iPhone 16 Pro Max on 2nd Oct 24 and waited for 22 days before it was supposed to be delivered today, 24th October 24. I took a trade-in deal which offered me INR 20,400 discount. The old phone was supposed to be checked by BlueDart delivery guy. I was quite apprehensive as to how a delivery guy will check the condition of the trade-in mobile. My doubt was cleared when he took more than an hour to run the diagnostic app called Verify on my mobile and failed every time because he didn't know how to use it. Since he was wasting my time I offered him to pay the balance of INR 20,400 in cash and in return asked him to state in 2 line in a plain paper with his sign that he received the amount so as to make sure I am not in trouble in future. This guy plainly refused to write it. I had already paid INR 1,24,500 almost 3 weeks ago to Apple and I was left to fend myself for the solution!!.
I called the Apple support and asked them to cancel the order and issue a full refund. I later got an email reply from Apple stating that they are cancelling the order because trade-in phone was detected to have damage – very funny!! I had myself called their support to cancel the order and issue the refund to reduce my trouble in the first place. More intriguing was when I checked the status of waybill on BlueDart website and it says “Consignee Refused To Accept”!!.
Both Apple & BlueDart tried to put blame on me when I paid more that 85% of the product value in advance, waited for 3 weeks, tried training BlueDart delivery guy on how the Verify app works, how to use it, tried the Apple support to end my misery but at the end the blame was all on me.
Yes, it was my mistake in the first place to order an overrated iPhone and take all this trouble. I reached out to Apple support again asking them for an apology but got a plain email that they will investigate further and keep my advance payment for another 5-6 days before they could process the refund.
Today after exactly after 14 days they said the refund will be processed I called up the Apple Support and got a blunt reply that the product is stuck somewhere in their return supply chain and the refund will be processed only after they receive the product at their Mumbai warehouse. How am I able to now control how BlueDart work and what is the deal between BlueDart & Apple. I think Apple has lost it completely and I think they are going to either keep it like a pending case or give me some frivolous reason at the end to scam me of INR 1,24,500.
So, guys better be aware of this overrated phone, their trade-in deal and the resultant mental pain and thus avoid iPhone.”
“In a recent case that garnered widespread attention, an organization dedicated to cybercrime investigation and victim support helped unmask a romance scammer who had defrauded multiple victims. The scammer, operating from behind a web of fake profiles and digital anonymity, posed as a charming and financially secure individual, enticing their targets with false promises of love and a shared future. Over time, this individual managed to gain the trust of several victims and convince them to send significant sums of money under various pretexts, such as "emergencies" or "investment opportunities."
The organization, HACKINGPROTEAM, specializes in tracking online scams and aiding scam victims. They were approached by one of the victims, who had grown suspicious after realizing there were inconsistencies in the scammer’s stories. HACKINGPROTEAM quickly mobilized their team of digital forensics experts to investigate. Using advanced techniques in IP tracking, data triangulation, and social media analysis, they were able to trace the scammer's digital footprint across multiple platforms and discovered that the perpetrator operated from a country different than what they had claimed to their victims.
As the investigation deepened, HACKINGPROTEAM uncovered a vast network of fake profiles, emails, and even dummy bank accounts linked to the scammer. Collaborating with international banking partners and cybersecurity experts, they pieced together the scammer's real identity by cross-referencing financial transactions and communication patterns.
Once the perpetrator’s true identity and location were confirmed, HACKINGPROTEAM presented their findings to law enforcement authorities in the scammer's country. This led to a coordinated sting operation, which resulted in the scammer’s apprehension. Authorities were able to seize assets tied to the scam and access the accounts where the stolen funds were held.
In a triumph for the victims, HACKINGPROTEAM and the authorities worked diligently to trace the funds sent by victims and recover nearly all of the stolen money. The recovered funds were then returned to the victims, who were finally able to find justice and closure after their harrowing experience.
This case is a powerful reminder of the importance of vigilance in online interactions and the role that specialized organizations like HACKINGPROTEAM play in protecting vulnerable individuals from digital predators. Thanks to their expertise and commitment, the romance scammer was not only stopped but also brought to justice, ensuring that others could avoid falling prey to similar schemes.

“I recently got an iPhone, and the battery is a big improvement over older iPhone models. I’ve used it to capture lecture slides from a distance, and it can be better. As a student, I feel it would be ideal to have more storage options at a reasonable price, given that photos, apps, and school files take up a lot of room. Apple could make storage upgrades and accessories more affordable.”
“Cannot cancel my Apple Music subscription and cannot login into their site. Documented how I've reset my password numerous times and cannot log into the site. Their response: log into the site and cancel. No further help offered. Worst customer support ever.”
“Apple and Verizon both suck we paid $900 to upgrade my daughters phone from a 14 to 15 pro max a couple months ago. Told the lady I didn’t know her iCloud passcode. She still transferred everything onto my daughter‘s phone. She can’t even do anything on her phone and I still keep paying the bill and fighting with Apple and Verizon. They keep telling me there’s nothing they can do but y’all didn’t mind taking my $900 and make me pay monthly payments for the past couple months. The phone is in my name. I have an ID to prove who I am. I even put the card that’s linked to her phone on there and they still won’t help us ”
“I recently noticed that I had unexplained apple charges on my credit card statements. I finally figured out which apple support phone number to call for a live agent. When I called in they couldn't help me because the charges were from my husband's phone. He looked at his phone and the only subscription he had was for Peacock TV. Well, there was also a charge for the same amount under Peacock on my credit card statement. I called in again and confirmed that we had been double charged by apple for the Peacock subscription since February. The agent could only request a refund for two of the charges. "The rest of the the charges were too far back." There is no one she can escalate the issue to so we're just out of luck and they get to keep the money. Talk about a horrible policy where you can't be refunded for a mistake they made. No wonder they're so rich if they double charge people for subscriptions. If you do a subscription through Apple, check your credit card statement like a hawk! They're hoping you don't notice that they're stealing your money.”
“The new iPhone 6 is no better than my iPhone 13 other than that action button they promised it to have AI. It doesn’t have that was a waste of money. Wish to return mine.”
“TRULY THE WORST CUSTOMER SUPPORT - which I never thought Id say about Apple - BUT I MAY NEVER USE AN APPLE PRODUCT AGAIN. This experience has been nothing short of almost traumatic and the "generic" emails I get from Apple that are 'supposed to help' are worded in a condescending way compared to helpful! Truly whomever is making the rules about these emails and wording them should be fired because if any other business sent these emails to customers they would go bankrupt very quickly. How a billion dollar business is able to offer such lackluster customer service is wild. My problem continues to go unfixed - I can't access some apps on my phone I use for business - my job as a Personal Assistant is now being affected and I'm losing income due to the problems w/ my Apple iphone. HELP!!!!!”
“Can people who fall for scams get their money back? Yes, you might be able to recover the money that was taken from you if you were the victim of fraud via an unregulated investing platform or any other scam, but only if you report it to the relevant authorities. It is possible to recover what you have lost if you have the right plan and documentation. These unregulated platforms' operators would probably attempt to convince you that the loss of your money was an isolated incident when, in fact, it was a sophisticated theft. There are tools available to help you if you or someone you know has been a victim of these circumstances. Send an email to recoveryhacker101[at]gmail[dot]com”
“Absolute scam. Avoid apple products. Paid over £700 for a new phone and didnt realise they had once again changed all the plugs / wires so i cant actually charge it or use any of my old iphone chargers etc. Also doesnt work with my powerbank therefore will need to update ALL my accessories. Id expect when you buy a new phone to get the charger INCLUDED in the price. Its a joke and will NOT be using apple/iphones going forward. Scam and a waste of £££”
