We will see

While true no one has seen them send messages like this before and they'd be foolish not to follow through with what they say. If they do then the refunding problem direct through Apple will be solved overnight.

They will obviously still have a record of the device's IMEI.

Laptops can be turned on straight away.

In the meanwhile I SEd two iphone recently; we will see if I get the same email and what will happen because so far I did not get any of this and both phones are being used

"We are glad to see that you located the device that your originally reported as not in the box. As you have received the device we will need to be reimbursed for the credit that you received on DATE via wire transfer. While this issue remains unresolved all accounts associated to this matter are subject to service interruptions

To use a wire transfer to pay for this issue, please have your bank electronically transfer the total dollar amount of the credit (PAID AMOUNT) to Apple using the following information. Your payment may not be transferred by any other method."

Anyone had this happen to them? Waited to active the phone after the refund posted. @mothered

I don't want this to be me and I'm at the point where I have received those two emails, gotten the funds back, but there is still a pending refund for the same amount under my pending transactions that was before the actual posted refund
