Fraud on my credit card by purchase from apple.com/us

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 ➞ If you see 'apple.com/bill' on your billing statement - Apple Support If you use Apple Card you may find this document helpful too: 'If you see an Apple Services charge you don't recognize on your Apple Card' ➞ If you see an Apple Services charge you don't recognize on your Apple Card - Apple Support

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

- Unanticipated amounts may be grouped charges ( How apps, content, and subscriptions from Apple are billed - Apple Support ).

- Purchases can be made with your ID if your Apple ID is compromised (what to do ➞ If you think your Apple ID has been compromised - Apple Support ) or somebody else has access to your device (require purchase password ➞ Require a password for App Store and iTunes purchases - Apple Support ).

- If you only see a charge in emails or texts that are not official Apple receipts, it is likely phishing attempts ( Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support ).

- 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 ➞ How apps, content, and subscriptions from Apple are billed - Apple Support ).

If a purchase is listed in your purchase history and you want to ask for a refund, click on this link to "Request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple" --> Request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple - Apple Support

If a Family Sharing member made the purchase then you need to discuss this with that person. They would have to initiate any refund request.

If a reporting a problem request is unsuccessful or you have another issue you can also try clicking here ➞ Choose your country or region - Official Apple Support Select your country, then a product.

This link to 'Subscriptions and Billing' has a different layout of some (but NOT all) of the information provided above --> https://support.apple.com/billing

Tell your card issuer that you are “Disputing Fraudulent Charges”

If you didn't buy this stuff and if the purchases and subscriptions are not shown with the billing info for any of your Apple IDs, then contact the card issuer and report the fraud.

Dear Ali,

I have experienced the same thing both yesterday and today. The one who charged me is "APPLE.COM/CA 800-676-2775". I wonder whether you have solved this fraud by figuring out who committed this and whether you have received the refund back?

Best,
