Do report it to the police, Apple, and anybody else monitoring such activities, but realize there is probably nothing that can actually be done to recover your money. I don't know if this thing is covered by fraud insurance.


Using iTunes cards is very common for scammers but I have to admit I don't know why the funds can't be traced. They have relatively limited use and all within the Apple system unless scammers can do something like set up a single use, disposable app with an in-app purchase which can then be run through a bunch of dummy corporations to try to shake any tracking.
