over $50 of apple cash disappeared out of thin air
I had 2 of my friends apple cash me $28 each. Upon receiving it I realized the card that I had attached didn't work because I deactivated it. I simply insisted they used cash and hit the rejected button. In my wallet it says rejected and in their wallet it also says rejected. Moments later they got a charge for 28 then a refund from apple +28 in both of their accounts, 20 min later apple cash took the 28 back out canceling out the refund and essentially charging them the $28. 2 weeks past and we hopped in a car and talked to 2 apple reps they insisted that this was out banks fault and that it had nothing to do with apple cash. We contacted the bank and put in the dispute on both of their accounts. It appears at this point apple has denied the dispute claiming it was not a mistake. I don't have the money my friends don't have the money it has been 2 months since the transaction date. What do we do from here? Should I cut my losses and take the $54 hit?
