You do not say where you see this purchase. If it is an e-mail or text message are you sure it is real and not an attempt to steal your private information ('phishing') (very common)?


Phishing & Other Suspicious Emails - Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support


Identifying legitimate emails from the iTunes Store - Identify legitimate emails from the App Store or iTunes Store - Apple Support (the previous link is more specific)


Forward attempts to: reportphishing@apple.com


If you still think the charge is real:


See your purchase history in the App Store or iTunes Store [iOS, computer, or web] - Does not list purchases made by others under Family Sharing; those have to be checked from their accounts. View your purchase history for the App Store, iTunes Store, and other Apple media services - Apple Support


Also follow the steps in this support document --> If you see ‘itunes.com/bill‘ or an unfamiliar charge on your bank, credit card, or debit statement - If you see 'apple.com/bill' on your billing statement - Apple Support


If neither you nor a family member (if applicable) has a record of this purchase and you only saw it on a statement for a card you alone control, contact your bank or card company about card fraud. Apple does not handle that.
