If you're sure that those charges come from Apple (check your bank statement very carefully, ignoring scam messages that might be addressed to your iPhone), start reading this support page:--> Subscriptions and Billing – Official Apple Support, and check each of the first 3-4 sections.


If you cannot find the information you were looking for, please contact iTunes Store Support Team directly and explain your problem, using this specific link:--> https://getsupport.apple.com/?caller=ikb&PGF=PGF51002&category_id=SC0060&symptom_id=21084

(if you get no help, look at the bottom of the link, where you can contact them using "chat" or "phone" options).

Giulio

If you have received an invoice from Apple, on every invoice from the Apple Store and/or iTunes Store always states what you have purchased (and/or concerns a subscription) and the amount.

Tap on Report a problem on the invoice.


Or try to ->  Request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple.

How do I cancel a purchase that I didn’t do


An iPhone cannot purchased from the iPhone without human intervention.

This means that either someone had physical access to your iPhone.


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

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.
