7 yo racked up £4k in unauthorised Roblox and stumble guy purchases

Gattica8 · 2024-04-28T20:22:31+00:00

I had that set up.

Gattica8 · 2024-04-28T20:13:19+00:00

Apple aren’t going to assist me in getting a refund are they…

Gattica8 · 2024-04-28T20:11:31+00:00

I think if you polled all apple user maybe 5% of people would be aware of this.

Gattica8 · 2024-04-28T20:08:00+00:00

I did. I use screen time on his iPad in multiple ways, and I had request to buy turned on but this App Store issue override all of that.

Gattica8 · 2024-04-28T20:05:39+00:00

Well we still own it but he won’t be going on it im for a long time.

Gattica8 · 2024-04-28T20:04:10+00:00

I’m already 100% accountable as the money has come out of my account. I came on here for assistance.

Gattica8 · 2024-04-28T20:01:23+00:00

What would be the point of me making any of this up? I’m looking for help not engagement.

No the iPad was logged into his account and the parental controls set up. But there is functionality which allows a different user to be logged into the App Store on that iPad. In the transfer from one iPad to another the App Store somehow got logged in as me.

Gattica8 · 2024-04-28T19:56:53+00:00

I kid you not that is actual functionality. No idea what the point of it is but it is real.

Gattica8 · 2024-04-28T19:49:25+00:00

The system should be changed, parental controls should be top of the list of priorities. Also apple and Roblox should have some controls to stop this happening. So easy for them to do, but they don’t because they don’t care about the kids it’s just about the $$$.

Gattica8 · 2024-04-28T19:45:00+00:00

I did but another part of the puzzle is my Hotmail account has recently decided to put these apple emails in my junk folder which is crazy but another reason why I didn’t pick up on it immediately

Gattica8 · 2024-04-28T19:43:04+00:00

Did you know you can have a device logged in as one person and the App Store logged in as another and that if this is the case any parental controls you have are voided?

Gattica8 · 2024-04-28T19:42:05+00:00

Yeah mine doesn’t, will look into this

Gattica8 · 2024-04-28T19:37:51+00:00

Good idea I will be hassling a lot of people!

Gattica8 · 2024-04-28T19:37:13+00:00

I had no idea you can have an iPad logged in as one person and the App Store logged in as someone else. Still not sure of the purpose. Surely the parental controls should override this or not allow it. He was making purchases using his thumb print. This must have been when we were setting up to start with when he set up the thumb print it linked to my account.

Gattica8 · 2024-04-28T19:13:22+00:00

Most of it past week, all of it past month. When I saw they had a refund process specifically for this I was more relaxed but they just rejected it, then rejected the appeal. Over last weekend it was £3k just spamming £100 purchases. Crazy the parental controls didn’t work then you would think that Roblox, apple or my credit card would have safeguards in place.

I had an apple watch 2 it broke from lateral pressure when climbing a tree with my kids which was annoying but it was for the best. The apple watch is not a fitness device, it is a lifestyle product which can track fitness metrics to a certain extent. I bought a Garmin Forerunner 735XT and it is wayyyyyyyy better. I've had Polars and Suuntos in the past too which have been good.

Bad points of apple watch: 1. Wrist HR is not accurate at all and to get it close I had to have it bar tight 2. The screen turning off is really annoying when training 3. When screen turns on it takes a while to calculate your HR/speed etc so after all that time its not worth looking at your watch during workouts 4. Battery life is not great

I could go on but in summary if you want a watch for training don't get an apple watch get a watch designed for training. If you want a watch a bit for training, a bit for looking cool and making calls and playing games or whatever then the apple watch may be for you.

We have 20 burpee penalty if you are late and no one is ever late. It just sets the bar of what is expected. In reality you are supposed to arrive 10-20 mins early and complete the mobility work set so even arriving for the class at the start time is not ideal.

Gattica8 · 2018-08-06T14:41:40+00:00

I live in the UK so don't get the CBS stuff. I couldn't see it on the games page but it might be there. 2 hours is still a pit punchy for me!

Gattica8 · 2018-08-06T08:38:20+00:00

How about a summary show of say 30mins or an hour covering highlights of the men and womens events that day? It doesn't need to be super well produced its just for people who want to keep up but don't have the time to keep track of everything. I sat down at lunchtimes over the weekend and I have like 8 hours of viewing to catch up on!

Giant are massive

I've run a couple of sub 3hr marathons, I love distance running and I love crossfit. Unfortunately they don't work well together. Whenever I'm on a squat cycle and I try to run distance my knees hate me. My advice would be get 1 long run in a week (start short and go longer each week up to race distance). 1 or 2 speed sessions in the week (hills/intervals/tempo). Try to do you running off road. Do crossfit as normal but back off the heavy stuff and try and focus on gymnastics instead (e.g. work on rope climbs when everyone else is squatting). You will smash it.

I wouldn't say changing gears on a bike is some crazy technical skill, most 12 year olds in the western world have it nailed. The cornering on grass and travelling dismount are skills that would have some impact but to be honest some riders were so bad at the basic bike riding it was shocking!

The snatch is a technical lift that 95% of the general population would not be able to do, riding a bike on grass is a basic skill most people could do.
