The law firm of Cafferty Clobes Meriwether & Sprengel LLP, Kirby McInerney LLP and Scott + Scott Attorneys at Law LLP have announced that a settlement has been reached with Apple Inc. and Apple Value Services.

The settlement regards a class action lawsuit asserting claims relating to Apple’s alleged conduct in connection with a common gift card scam in which unwitting consumers were tricked into purchasing App Store and iTunes Gift Cards by third-party scammers. Apple, which was not the party that perpetrated the scams, denies that it had any responsibility to provide refunds in such circumstances, and denies all allegations of wrongdoing.

If you were tricked into purchasing an App Store andiTunes Gift Card at any point between January 2015 and July 2020, and you provided the redemption code to someone unknown to you who sought the code under false pretenses, this class action settlement may impact your legal rights.

You must file a valid claims package by October 15, 2024, to receive cash benefits from this settlement. To file a claim, or to learn more about your options, including opting out of or objecting to the US$35 million settlement, you may visit the Settlement Website, available at www.GiftCardScamSettlement.com.
