ORLANDO, Fla. — A woman who lost her Apple Watch while riding The Seas and Nemo and Friends at Epcot claimed someone used it to charge about $40,000 to her credit card last month, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
She said the watch was not returned to her promptly after she lost it on the ride, as promised by an employee. The day afterward, she said she began receiving fraudulent charges on an unlimited American Express credit card linked to the smartwatch.
The woman’s name is redacted from an incident report because she requested anonymity under a state law protecting crime victims, records show.
