Random purchases on apple ID

I am confused by some of what you say, but, if you can, see your purchase history for the App Store or iTunes Store https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204088 to see if the charges were made by Apple. If you have a problem with a subscription or a purchase, see Subscriptions and Purchases https://support.apple.com/en-euro/billing. If you think you may be able to get a refund, then use the request a refund link. It will take you to Request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple https://support.apple.com/en-euro/HT204084

See How long refunds from the App Store or other Apple services take https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210904

But, I am concerned that you may have been scammed. Apple does not make many billing errors. And, see this heading below especially--How to identify scams related to purported apple notifications—per Eric Root

And, could you have provided any potentially damaging information to anyone? If yes, you'll need to follow up, for example, with a credit card company, Apple, Social Security, your bank, etc.

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.”

When Eric says Apple will always address you by your name or the name they have on file for you, I am not sure if he intends to include being address by your first name. I get some pertinent Apple emails that use only my first Name.

"Random purchases on apple ID: the issue is that i no longer have access to the account at all. so this is either a scam and they have my old address or this is apple and somebody has access to my account, either way its not good"

and...

B. Modify your Credentials:

Most certainly consider....

• Modifying: your login credentials (Using Both a New eMail and a New Password for each and all sites)
• Associating: a different method of payment to your account
• Enabling: Two-Factor Authentication for Apple ID and for all other accounts that have such an applicable option

 Has one of your current, working credit cards been charged? If not, that is another indication the emails are attempted scams.

See if you can recover the ID/password.
