I tried several times to complete payment, but payment process was never completed. Last week I received a pop up with apple ensignia prompting me fulfill for 50GB storage. I applied, payment went through. Payment was set at $1.50Then for confirmation email I received confirmation that I had joined ‘my recipearea.com’, and that payment was €3. I promptly emailed and cancelled that. But they had a clause in there that payment would be taken in 3 days for €63 and that my cancellation would take some days.

I still have not expanded my iCloud storage

and I think I have cancelled my recipe area.com
