Sounds like you fell victim to a phishing attack and gave a scammer the credentials for your account or the card number allowing them to steal your money.
This has nothing to do with your phone.
If your accounts keep getting taken over, you need to secure the accounts with strong passwords and 2 factor authentication wherever possible and don’t fall for scam messages and emails that direct you to bogus login pages where your credentials can be stolen.

Hacking is a civil or criminal matter in many jurisdictions, so you will want to discuss this with counsel or with police.
For what Apple suggests for securing your device, see: Personal Safety User Guide - Apple Support
Probably run Safety Check discussed there, too.

What makes you suspect it has been hacked?
So, what to do...
Resetting to Factory Settings:
If you are so concerned, then reset you iPhone to factory settings, as if you were to sell it. Go here: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support. Perform as instructed there, including the backup creation and iCloud logout.
If you did not jailbreak your phone, it is not being "hacked".
Your Apple ID may have been compromised, but the phone itself is not hacked.
What are you seeing that makes you think it is?

I honestly don’t know what jailbreak means. I hope I didn’t do it. It sounds bad and I think my phone is compromised because my accounts keep getting taken over and password changed and I called his check the balance on a visa prepaid gift card as soon as I did to the service, emptied it through various, google websites, or Google fees or what have you and it definitely was not me
Does anyone know how to find out who’s hacking my iPhone?
