An Apple fan who has spent “nearly 30 years as a loyal customer” says they’ve been “permanently” locked out of their Apple Account due to what might be the overzealous actions of Apple’s automated anti-fraud system. It’s left them locked out of “20 years of digital life,” and it all started with the seemingly straightforward purchase of an Apple gift card.
Huh, the ransomware-ish features all locked out “ecosystems” put you through are fruitful. Don’t worry, as long as it works for the 99% of their clients, business as usual. Luckily, this guy recovers access to his account and if he is smart enough, he won’t trust them ever again. It’s sad this news won’t make a dent in the army of zombie consumers of Apple.
