A Reddit user shares an experience of witnessing someone repeatedly trying to buy $500 Apple Cards, questioning if such purchases are primarily for scams.

The individual recovered most of their money (~$1,000) from a Cash App scam but remains out $295 from Apple gift card payments. Apple refused to assist with the loss after their account was hacked. The person acknowledges their luck in recovering most funds and emphasizes the difficulty others face in scam recovery.

A person at a Walmart store was approached by a stranger offering to buy an iTunes or Apple gift card for $15, claiming to need extra money or to be a few dollars short. The individual declined due to suspicion, noting the stranger's odd behavior and smell, and an employee later intervened as the man continued approaching others.
