    It wouldn't surprise me if scammers start using this now instead of the Spanish lottery.

    Apple has a history of calling people who downloaded apps to meet a specific milestone in the past. I always wondered if their user agreements allowed them to do that.

    As others have said, can't blame here as I would have done it as well.

    In fact, if I knew that one day in my life, one of those calls or emails or popups or letters was really going to be for $10,000, I'm pretty sure I still wouldn't open, read, and listen to them all.

    Seriously you lot are that scared of cold callers you just hang up?
    All the dumb cow had to do was have apple verify her details and previous purchases for her on their end and make sure that they do not want a cheque for $5,000 to obtain the $10,000 gift card.

    That's pretty funny that most of you would hang up, If you think you know what's coming there's absolutely no harm in finding out more information! You don't have to give anything away while they have everything to prove.

    10 billion apps? That's two apps for everyone on the planet. Sounds like a marketing ploy to me. Or there is obviously a multiplier factor in the formula Apple uses to calculate apps downloaded.
