Unauthorized Apple charges on Bank statement

Question

Unauthorized Apple charges on Bank statement

I’ve got several charges on my my statement that says Apple. The charges are not coming from my personal Apple ID or my subscriptions. Once identified…. I’ve gone back over previous statements and the charges began 6 months ago. The charges total $16 - $38. A lot if you don’t have it . I’ve tried to report them to Apple but I can’t use their system to report unidentified charges unless they’re from subscriptions on my Apple ID… they are not!! Bank Charges from Apple on not my Apple account. How do I stop it

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 16

I agree 100% with muguy—contact your bank or card issuer because Apple cannot fix what scammer do.

Your card number has probably been compromised. It happened to us. Once we contacted our card issuer, the charges were identified as bogus, purged from our account, and my wife was issued a new account number, all within about 24 hours.

This scam is now about a decade old. Another senior contributor here posted this link to an outside article on the subject. The ways the charges appear on your card statement may very slightly but the methodology is the same:

Contact your card issuer. If the purchases are not yours, or that oof your family members who may share your account, then your card is likely compromised.
