An Apple fan who has spent “nearly 30 years as a loyal customer” says they’ve been “permanently” locked out of their Apple Account due to what might be the overzealous actions of Apple’s automated anti-fraud system. It’s left them locked out of “20 years of digital life,” and it all started with the seemingly straightforward purchase of an Apple gift card.
I’ve been hearing few cases of people get locked out of their apple id recently. what happened.
curious because I also happen to be locked out of my apple id. though I only used it for apple music several years ago so there were only a few USD lost from a few songs I bought.
I’ve been locked out of mine. I called Apple and had the most ridiculous customer support interaction of my life. I screen shared with the person, showed them what was happening, they saw the error, read it out loud and then just… Said nothing was wrong and that I had access to the account. Despite having just seen for themselves that I didn’t.
