You do not say where you see this purchase. If it is an e-mail are you sure it is real and not an attempt to steal your private information ('phishing') (very common)?


Identifying legitimate emails from the iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2075


Phishing & Other Suspicious Emails - https://www.apple.com/legal/more-resources/phishing/


Forward attempts to: reportphishing@apple.com


If you think the charge is real:


See your purchase history in the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC - http://support.apple.com/HT204088 - Does not include purchases made by others under Family Sharing; those have to be checked from their accounts.


If you see ‘itunes.com/bill‘ or an unfamiliar charge on your bank, credit card, or debit statement - https://support.apple.com/HT201382 - "Before you contact Apple to request a refund for a charge you don't recognize"...


If neither you nor a family member (if applicable) has a record of this purchase and you only saw it on a statement for a credit card you alone control, contact your bank or card company about card fraud. Apple does not handle that.


If you recognize this purchase and are asking for a refund then realize Apple's terms of purchase in the USA are, "All Transactions are final" (https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/us/terms.html), but some countries have different laws so check terms for your country at: http://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/. If sales are final then it is Apple's decision if they want to grant a refund. You can always ask, and people do get refunds on a case by case basis, but Apple can also say no.

Please read the post directly above yours. Do NOT click on any links or provide any information to anyone in the correspondence you received. It's a scam.
