itunes credit card fraud

Someone stole my debit card number and chareged $870 worth of itunes. I can not get any help from Apple or Itunes. My bank is doing what it can, but why can't Apple help? Any suggestions?

as I said before and will say again

YOU HAVE TO DISPUTE IT WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD COMPANY

Apple/iTunes does investigate when they are contacted by the proper channels (the CC company)

I also have a remaining balance, itunes says to pay it, credit card says DON'T pay it. It's pretty stupid that itunes cant cancel a pending purchase.

On the flip side, folks who connect to unsecured wifi and do online purchasing are asking for trouble!

I will be fascinated to see how Apple tries to weasel their way out of that,

Why would Apple try to weasel their way out of anything?
Your bank authorized the charges at the time of purchase.

Then you are more than welcome to leave your CC info in iTunes knowing that it may not be as secure as you want.

The same thing happened to me, itunes emptyed my account of £549 pounds.

Their customer service is poor.

Same experience for me today. My eyes have been opened as to how neglectful Apple is with security and allowing fraud to run rampant. Why dont they have a way to disable account?
