A purchase I didn't make

I got a conformation email on an app store purchase I didn't make. What did I do to fix this and how do I cancel the purchase?

It is probably a scam and not a real purchase. 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
