A woman was shocked to be charged $938.48 for in-app purchases made on her iPhone after her eight-year-old child used the device to play games.<\/p>\n

Stomper Anonymous<\/strong> said the purchases were for Robux credits for online game platform Roblox. The virtual currency allows users to buy upgrades for their avatar and access exclusive in-game features.<\/p>\n

According to the Stomper, she had keyed in her Apple Account password after her daughter requested to download a game from the App Store onto her iPhone 17 Pro Max in early June.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe screen did not mention anything about paying for credits or notify that I was making a purchase of a certain amount,\u201d said Anonymous, who did not think much of the matter.<\/p>\n

The Stomper was flabbergasted when she logged into her bank account and discovered charges for Roblox on June 8 and 9 totalling $938.48.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought it was a scam,\u201d said Anonymous. \u201cAfter checking in with my kid, I realised she had made the unauthorised purchases.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs this was done by a minor, I contacted Apple Support and tried to get a refund twice, but was rejected both times.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Stomper made two requests for a refund, but both were rejected.<\/p>\n

The Stomper said she tried explaining to Apple Support that her child had made the purchases \u201cwithout (being in) the right mind of what they were doing\u201d over a timeframe of two days.<\/p>\n

She also pointed out that Apple devices don\u2019t seem to have any additional security features by default for such purchases, and it was her first time encountering something like this.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut they still rejected my requests for a refund,\u201d said Anonymous, who feels that the password prompt should have come with some form of \u201cpayment notification\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven that we bought a high-end product from Apple, I believe they need to provide more support for customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Stomper said she had also contacted her bank and was told that they are investigating the matter.<\/p>\n

Stomp has contacted Apple for more info.<\/p>\n
