Is APPLE STORE fraud?

• Subscriptions: Users often see charges related to subscriptions for services like Apple Music, iCloud storage, or Apple TV+ that they may have signed up for or forgotten about.
• In-App Purchases: Charges can occur from in-app purchases made within games or applications, sometimes without users realizing they activated these purchases.
• Apple App Store Purchases: Users may be charged for applications or additional content downloaded from the App Store that they had selected to buy.
• AppleCare or Warranty Services: Charges may arise from AppleCare plans or extended warranty services that are renewed automatically.
• Family Sharing Charges: If a user is part of a Family Sharing group, charges can appear for shared subscriptions or purchases made by family members.
• Trial Periods Ending: Customers may be charged once a free trial period ends, without adequate reminders prior to the charge.
• Removed or Canceled Subscriptions: Some users report unexpected charges even after canceling subscriptions, due to delays in cancellation processing.
• Expired Payment Methods: When a payment method is expired, users might see attempts to charge that can lead to confusion when re-entering updated payment information.

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.
