Is APPLE PAY fraud?

• Subscription Services: Users may be charged for subscriptions such as Apple Music, iCloud storage, Apple TV+, or other services they signed up for.
• In-App Purchases: Charges can come from purchases made within apps, including games or other apps on the App Store.
• Free Trials Converting: If users sign up for a free trial and do not cancel in time, they may be automatically charged once the trial ends.
• Family Sharing: Charges for subscriptions or purchases made by family members under a Family Sharing plan may show up on the primary account holder's bill.
• Accidental Purchases: Some users report accidental subscriptions or in-app purchases that they weren't aware of until they saw the charge.
• AppleCare Services: If a user purchased AppleCare for their device, they might see a one-time charge for that service.
• Device Upgrades: Charges could appear for device upgrades or replacements if the user is on a payment plan.
• Third-Party Services: Some subscriptions may be billed through Apple but are for services not directly owned by Apple, leading to charges that might not be immediately recognizable.
• iTunes or App Store Purchases: Buying music, movies, or apps via iTunes or the App Store can lead to individual line items appearing on their bill.

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.
