iPhone Fraud

So, today after lunch I decide that I should check Apple's site to see if the rebate form was up and to my delight it was. I printed it out and a few hours later I go the Apple Store in *Birmingham, AL*. I go up to an associate to check out and he has a problem with my rebate. No worries probably something weird with the easy pay or something. So I go to the counter where they have the actual POS units and try to check out. My rebate is showing up with no balance. That's right $0. So the manager of the store comes over and makes sure I haven't made a purchase online or anything. Nope sure hadn't. So she calls whoever she needs to call at Apple Store management or whatever and they tell her that my rebate has been redeemed in NEBRASKA. NEBRASKA!!!!!!! I have never been to Nebraska and frankly am not planning on it. So I am sitting at the counter sweating A.) because I want my $100 back and B.) how the **** did someone redeem my credit in Nebraska.

So there it is, iPhone fraud. I called customer support and the call got answered by someone in iPod sales. She told me that I could either wait on hold forever or call the store in Nebraska. So I call the store in Nebraska which is of course closed at this point.

I will repost when I find out what happened.

If anyone has any suggestions or has had this happen to them that would be awesome.
