SG*OriginalPlus subscription charge? - Apple Pay Wallet

I received an emailed receipt for £29.99 from SG Original Plus for a subscription i never ordered. my current account was debited £29.99. the transaction appears in my apple pay wallet but I have no idea how it happened. Does anyone have any suggestions? Somehow, this company had my email address, and the receipt they sent me by email specified that I had purchased a subscription for one month - with a start and end date. I have no idea where this all came from. I didn't seek out this company - I have no interest or knowledge in or of them, and I never gave any personal details to them at all - or purchase instructions. However, according to the payment history in my Apple Wallet, I payed £29.99 to them at 12.59 on 5th Oct but I wasn't even using my phone at this time. What is going on?

Same happened to me…. Changing your card doesn’t suffice… they still tried to take the £29.99 from my new card even before i received it in the post and activated it! All because I unknowingly subscribed when I hit a green ‘start’ button on another application that I use regularly. It was a pop up advertisement… The ONLY way is to cancel the subscription… website ‘Original Plus’ (not SG original plus) and get into your profile to manage your account and cancel. Your bank will not be able to block payments as we have unwittingly authorised them in the first instance … first time was for 50p which they immediately refunded. I have now finally received my first email from them saying sorry to see you go…. Never received one in the first instance to confirm my subscription. All very devious and scary!
