Why was I charged 9.68 from apple?

If it was deducted from your account, see each of the steps in the following instructions. They include information on contacting Apple Support if the other steps don't help: If you see 'apple.com/bill' on your billing statement - Apple Support

This is primarily a user-to-user support forum; other Apple users like you. We don't have access to information about charges to your account. See each of the steps in the following instructions. They include information on contacting Apple Support if the other steps don't help: If you see 'apple.com/bill' on your billing statement - Apple Support

This is most likely a scam because Apple does not go by "Apple Services" last time I checked.

Not a scam but fraudulent charges.
