Apple account billing query

Hi,


Can you please provide me with an email address/ contact number for someone who can assist with a billing query regarding strange charges made? It is for an apple account on a different device.


if someone could assist it would be appreciated. We are from South Africa, if you have a South African number it would be great.


Kind regards,

Cecile

You may have been the subject of at least an attempted scam. But, see your purchase history for the App Store or iTunes Store https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204088to see if the charge(s) are from Apple. If you think you are owed a refund, see Request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084.

  

If the charges are not from Apple, then could you have been scammed?

 

Is it possible that you gave potentially damaging information to someone? If yes, you'll need to follow up, for example, with a credit card company, Apple, Social Security, your bank, etc.

 

Is it possible that you gave you Apple ID password to a scammer? If yes, then

How to identify scams related to purported apple notifications—per Eric Root.

 

“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 emails won't have poor grammar/misspellings. Apple e-mails will never contain an attachment. Apple will never request personal information by email such as Social Security numbers, your Mother’s maiden name or full credit card 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.”
