Charges on my card from APL*ITUNES

I have never bought anything off ITUNES before, but just recently notice an unauthorized charge on my account from APL*ITUNES. I'm not familiar if thats standard of APPLE to do to make sure the card is active? The charge is for $1.00 and I know for sure I have not purchased anything at all by looking at my transaction history of my iTunes account.

Has anyone had any similar problems? Or can help me out...

Thank you

macbook, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

Yes, it is to verify the card.
Many places do this.
It’s not an actual charge. It’s a hold. It will be removed usually within a day or two.

It also could be a test from a thief that has your info to see whether you notice or not. I would suggest calling your card company and informing them of the unauthorized charge. They will be able to inform you of the best way to go. It may be overkill, but I've had my stuff stolen and the charges for **** were silly. I called them and all the charges were gone.
Good luck!
