apple.com/bill (866) 712-7753 scam?

i have gotten that message two times on my master card that somebody purchased something 2 TIMES i did some research about it and its a scam someone is stealing money off my card i don't even have my card connected to my apple ACCOUNT!!! so i don't know how it happened and my card is locked to online purchases so i know it wasn't a family member so if anyone sees this on there master card you have to cancel that one and renew your card its the only way to get rid of it..

Yes, it's apparently a known scam. Crooks who manage to get hold of your credit card number, security PIN and such set up purchases against your card on their own account.

Hello,


The support article "If you see 'apple.com/bill' on your billing statement" explains how you can check your iTunes and App Stores purchase history, cancel subscriptions, and track possible sources of unrecognized Apple charges you may see on a bill. These may be purchases by family members if you are an organizer of a Family Sharing group, or possibly a second Apple ID you use. The article also provides a specific link for contacting Apple if you cannot trace the source of charges. Click on this link to read this article ➞ https://support.apple.com/HT201382


Other possibilities to consider (not all may apply in your situation):

- Unanticipated amounts may be grouped charges ( https://support.apple.com/HT201359 ).

- Purchases can be made with your ID if your Apple ID is compromised (what to do ➞ https://support.apple.com/HT204145 ) or somebody else has access to your device (require purchase password ➞ https://support.apple.com/HT204030 ).

- If you only see a charge in emails or texts that are not official Apple receipts, it is likely phishing attempts ( https://support.apple.com/HT204759 ).

- If you are absolutely certain neither you, nor Apple, nor a Family Sharing member can account for a charge and it ONLY appears on a bill for a charge card you alone control, you may have been the victim of card fraud. Contact your financial institution.

- Small amounts of ~$1 may be an authorization hold that will be refunded (pending charge ➞ https://support.apple.com/HT201292 ).


If a purchase is listed in your purchase history and you want to ask for a refund, read this document about how to 'Request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple' ➞ https://support.apple.com/HT204084


or click on this link to proceed directly to 'Report a Problem' for requesting a refund ➞ https://reportaproblem.apple.com/?s=6
