Can apple determine the phone number or identity as someone who is using your apple payment method to transfer funds to cash app and buy clothing online without your authorization

Recently, my Apple method of payment was used to transfer money to an unknown persons cash app, and also make purchases online without my authorization. In the past they have been able to buy Apple gift certificate for $100 as well. I would think that Apple would be able to identify the person or phone number of the person who is doing this Do you know if they can help me

Oh, trust me I have contacted my bank numerous times. I have ordered five debit cards this year alone, and each time that they are put as a payment method for my Apple subscriptions. Somehow that information is used to make purchases and now to transfer money to cash app to a person that I do not know I have done everything in my power to kick my information safe however it has been brought to my attention that once they have used the apple payment method even when I get a new card they don’t have to have the number on the card they simply go through that method to make purchases, etc.

Are you talking about this app ?

The problem with Cash App has nothing to do with Apple.


You can't use Cash app as your Payment method for the App Store.

See -> Payment methods you can use with your Apple ID

Payment methods you can use with your Apple ID – Apple Support (UK)

 

fyi: Not all credit & debit cards seem to work with App Store / iTunes Store, try a different one, or preferably a credit card. If your card is not accepted as a paymenf method, you need to contact your bank.
