unknown charge from 866 712 7753

I received a charge for $29.99 on my MasterCard from what appeared to be Apple.

I called Apple and they researched it for me.

It is a scam and not a legitimate Apple charge. Attached is a screenshot of the details from the bank where my MC is issued. Scary thing, was that the card was just reissued 4/18 because the CC# was stolen and the charge is on the brand new issued card number.

What is Apple doing about this? I also have these charges. I have been reseaching this and there are reports of this problem dating back to 2010. Come on Apple! I understand that other services route through the iTunes service and you can't be responsible for everything, but considering that people have been complaining about this since 2010 I would imagine that Apple would have blacklisted or blocked this obviously fraudulent scam.


Bad Apple.

This is what an Apple support person said but it was not accurate. In talking with another person in iTunes billing, it Turns out someone stole my credit card # and used it to purchase a subscription on their account.
