'dishonest or fraudulent activity' is a pretty large umbrella - you and Apple know about your account behavior/apps...we don't.


Perhaps if you gave more information...

>so then why they stop the update process ?


Imagine you've been pulled over for questioning...who knows what happens as the investigation proceeds. They may just be watching your (frozen) account so they can gather additional information before they take additional action.


I wouldn't want to be in your shoes, in any case...
