In the past week, media reports reported that third party sellers sold fake or stolen iTunes accounts on Taobao website.

"We have received many complaints from users who purchased iTunes account."

John Spelich, vice president of group international business division, said, "in order to protect the interests of users, we decided to put down those problematic account pactions."

Last Friday, GlobalTimes.com reported the news of about fifty thousand apple stolen iTunes accounts sold on the Internet, causing global media attention.

These problems account for the sale of iTunes accounts from 1 yuan to 200 yuan in online stores, but if purchased from regular channels, some high level accounts can reach US $200.

After the GlobalTimes.com report, all sorts of suspicious paction signs also attracted Taobao's attention. Taobao issued a proposal: it is recommended that buyers close all iTunes account pactions within 24 hours of Taobao's network.

John Spelich told PCMag reporters that Alibaba could not delete false account pactions before obtaining official reply from apple.

But today, the suspicious problem of iTunes account paction has disappeared from Taobao.

According to GlobalTimes.com, Alibaba is "communicating with apple to get a blacklist of selling fake iTunes accounts."

These illegal account pactions will be banned, and the sale of stolen iTunes gift card pactions may also be involved in 2009.
