I was just playing candy crush and paid for a candy pack and did not get the items. I did this twice @$5.99. I thought I must've been mistaken, so I did it again. I took pictures this time. This has happened to me a lot but I always let it go as a mental lapse. I was paying attention this time because I had just started to play the game.
This makes me question all of the other times that I paid for items and did not get them. Your tactics are suspect. You don't debit the money as you make the purchase and that is really underhanded.
I am not paying for the "special" pack because I did not get them. I will let apple know what has been going on.
