Hi.

I received a message that I bought something in appstore.

But I didn’t buy anything today and I ca’t check my purchase list in appstore.

2500 KRW was withdrawn.

Please check this out what is this.

iPhone XS, iOS 12

Was your credit card actually charged? Why can't you check your purchases? Are you sure the message is legitimate? Does it contain a link for you to sign in somewhere? It may be a scam. 


Apple will always address you by your name or the name they have on file for you, not Dear Customer, Dear Client or by using your e-mail address.  The e-mail will be from @apple.com or @iTunes.com. E-mail addresses can be spoofed. You can go to Mail/View/Message/Show all Headers to see more. Apple e-mails will never contain an attachment. Apple will never request personal information such as Social Security numbers.


The only exception to the above I have noticed is if you order something from the Apple Store (apple.com), your receipt will be addressed to Dear Apple Customer. That is a receipt for a purchase you initiated.


Avoid phishing emails, fake ‘virus‘ alerts, phony support calls, and other scams


Identifying legitimate emails from the iTunes Store


Send the e-mail to Apple as an attachment to a new e-mail before deleting it. You can forward as an attachment by going to Mail/Message/Forward as attachment. You won’t receive a response.
