Wrighty, same thing happened to a friend of mine in the last few days. Got refunded as well. Bet you it was the same developer’s software. Very sneaky and possibly illegal, report to Apple ASAP.
Ps Why do you think you got your money back???
Just read that link of Hora’s. This was one of the comments:
I just got a bill for $110 for a purchase that my young son made within a “free” app making food for Santa Claus. He had no idea he was spending “real” money, and neither did I! I don’t care if Apple don’t write the apps, if they host them on their site and they need a password for a free download, then they need to enforce password rules for downloads within the application too! The guy told me that the Smurfs game is notorious for this too, and they’ve had a LOT of angry parents ringing them with huge bills! He led me through how to disable the in-app function, and he also led me through how to place on online complaint. No promise of a refund but I was told I should know within 24 hours. Big grrrrrrrr Apple, this should be illegal! Not even Facebook allows “real” money purchases without passwords!
