Fraudulent Transaction processed through my Apple Cash

I’m sitting in an airport. I am not using my phone or shopping for anything. A charge for $98 from “online learning” just processed through my Apple Cash.

I haven’t ordered or purchased anything. I didn’t approve the transaction in any way. The money sitting on my Apple Cash card is only for groceries and occasional beverages and snacks at places that don’t accept cash. This transaction just suddenly appeared. I have no idea who the vendor is or how or why the transaction went through.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

BIG MISTAKE on my part. It’s a legitimate charge. I thought it was a new charge this morning. There was a significant delay in the processing time of the original transaction and I thought the payment had processed immediately on the date of the transaction. I’m hoping this post/thread can be closed/deleted. Sincere apologies to everyone for taking up time and space here!

I should also add that the lack of identifying information in the transaction history where the company I was initially paying was not identifiable (partly the vendors fault?) made me suspicious about the charge coming through this morning.

Again, sincere apologies!

I’m glad you want it resolved. The merchant decides what appears as the transaction details. Space is very limited and many times the merchant has to abbreviate or use a parent company name etc.
