(CN) A federal judge tossed a case against Apple Thursday where several plaintiffs argued the company aided scammers in ripping them off by using the company’s gift cards.
U.S. District Judge Ed Davila said the plaintiffs failed to establish that Apple gave support to the scammers in any degree that would warrant holding the company responsible for the fraudulent schemes perpetrated on the seven named plaintiffs who were attempting to establish a nationwide class of plaintiffs.
“Plaintiffs failed to establish that Apple gave “substantial assistance or encouragement” to the alleged perpetrators of the gift card scam,” Davila wrote in a 40-page ruling granting Apple’s motion to dismiss.
