Is APPLE APP STORE fraud?

• App Subscriptions: Users often get charged for recurring subscriptions to apps like Apple Music, iCloud, or third-party apps that expand their services.
• In-App Purchases: Foreign transactions can occur if a user makes a purchase within an app, such as game currency or premium features.
• Apple Arcade: Monthly charges for access to the subscription gaming service can lead to unexpected fees.
• Apple TV+: Monthly service fees for Apple TV+ content streaming can also appear as charges.
• Rental Charges: Costs incurred from renting movies or shows via the Apple TV app can lead to charges on a user's account.
• Forgotten Trials: Users sometimes forget they signed up for a free trial, which then converts to a paid subscription if not canceled in time.
• Family Sharing Charges: Charges can arise if a family member makes a purchase using family sharing options, causing confusion among users.
• AppleCare Services: Users may see charges related to warranty or repair services provided by AppleCare.
• One-Time Purchases: Purchases made through the App Store or directly from Apple, such as apps, music, or hardware accessories, can lead to charges.
• Payment Information Errors: Issues with credit card processing or outdated payment options can result in multiple charges or failed transactions.

If you see this charge and aren’t expecting it, you have various options.

First, try to contact the go.pricing.apple.com via one of the support methods we listed below and inquire about the charge. See if they will refund it and cancel any associated subscriptions you might have.

If the go.pricing.apple.com refused to issue a refund or you cannot get in touch with the company, call your bank or financial institution and open a credit card dispute. Record screenshot evidence from your prior conversations with go.pricing.apple.com, and use that to open your credit card dispute. Tell your bank or credit card issuer that you do not recognize the charge and do not recall signing up for the service.

If this sounds like too much of a hassle, you can have Chargeback do it for you.
