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.

Yeah - this really confused me. Why did they make a second update on the 14th when the first update said they’d hear back on the 15th?

    He's in Australia. It was already the 15th there when he posted that, but the person you're responding to isn't in Australia and the blog they copied and pasted from probably compensated for time zones.

    Edit: Or it's a typo from a stressed and frantic person.
