Unauthorized purchase on my Apple ID

I received an email regarding a purchase on my Apple ID that was not associated with my phone at all. I need to get this is off of my account and see how I ensure no money was charged as this did not come my device and was not authorized.

If the only indication of the charges is from an email or text, be aware that it may be a phishing attempt to get you to log in to a site that appears to be Apple and divulge your password or credit card information.

and Identify legitimate emails from the App Store or iTunes Store - Apple Support


If it is a real charge, see the following instructions. They include information on contacting Apple Support if the other steps don't help: If you see apple.com/bill, itunes.com/bill, or an unfamiliar charge on your statement - Apple Support
