I have a problem that someone used my card to make a purchase on the app store, I want to request more information about that person and a refund.

If other people have access to your iPhone or other Apple device, change the device passcode and never share it with others.

Change your Passcode -> Use a passcode with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Change your Apple ID password -> Change your Apple ID password - Apple Support

  • Create a strong password for your Apple ID, It is best if your password consists of eight or more characters and include upper and lowercase letters, and at least one number. You can also add extra characters and punctuation marks to make your password even stronger. 
  • Never provide your password, passcode, security questions, verification codes, recovery key or any other account security details to anyone else. Apple will never ask you for this information.

How did you find out?

You need to solve that problem with that person and your bank.

Who is that someone? You know him/her?

Report to the police.


Contact also your bank, ask your bank to block your card, and ask a new card.
