It is most likely a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message, as an attachment to Apple.

Hello Jean,


Most likely, it's a scam. Thousands of similar emails go out daily. The idea is to get the recipient to click on a link to cancel the payment, or verify your account status.


Apple includes no such links in their emails. It would be a crook sending you to a fake Apple site in the attempt of getting your Apple ID and password.


If the email includes any type of attachment, it's guaranteed to be a scam as Apple does not do that.


If you want to check, open iTunes, login to your Apple account and check your purchases. If the supposed game purchase isn't listed, then the email is a scam. If it is there, then someone really did make a purchase on your account.
