Hi fern93,

Welcome to the Apple Community


Apple support has an article online that may help:


About Gift Card Scams - Official Apple Support


Eg: says:

If you believe you're the victim of a scam involving Apple Gift Cards, App Store & iTunes Gift Cards, or Apple Store Gift Cards, 

you can call Apple at 800-275-2273 (U.S.) and say "gift cards" when prompted


Seems "Pending" may sometimes mean the payment was not approved

eg: declined by the bank for a purchase via credit / debit card.


More info: If your payment method has been declined in the App Store or iTunes Store – Apple Support


All the best :-).
