Q: I'm getting billed for a product I didn't purchase
Please Help!!!
I recently got an email/invoice from Apple saying that I'm getting billed for a product. I didn't purchase this product, nor was this purchase even made on my Iphone.This purchase from the Itunes store was made on somebody else's phone (who I have no idea who they are), yet I am getting billed for their purchase?
Luckily, no money has been taken out of my bank account because I've never bought from the Itunes store, etc so my bank details aren't linked up to it. But I'm just concerned to why I'm getting billed for somebody else's purchase and how do I cancel/stop from getting billed for this product?
iPhone 5s, iOS 9.3.4

You are sure that it was a genuine email from Apple and not a phishing attempt trying to get your account and payment details ?

Viewing your account's purchase history : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store - Apple Support (on an iOS device you can view the last 90 days purchases via http://reportaproblem.apple.com)
If it's a genuine email and it shows on your account's purchase history, and no else has access to your account or devices/computers, then contact iTunes Support : https://support.apple.com/contact .

If it is a phishing email you could forward it to Apple : reportphishing@apple.com , and then delete it.
If it's a phishing attempt and you clicked on the link in the email and entered your account id and password then change your password immediately
