Is APPLE SUBSCRIPTION fraud?

• Subscriptions: Many users have ongoing subscriptions for services like Apple Music, iCloud storage, or Apple TV+. Charges can occur for renewals if not canceled in time.
• App Purchases: Users may forget purchasing apps or in-app content, leading to unexpected charges on their account.
• Family Sharing: Charges may come from family members' purchases if using Apple Family Sharing, which can lead to confusion about who made the purchase.
• Apple Care Services: Users might enroll in Apple Care for device protection, resulting in recurring charges.
• Trial Periods: Signing up for a free trial of a service may result in automatic charges once the trial period ends if not canceled beforehand.
• International Transactions: If users travel or make purchases from international stores, additional fees may appear due to currency conversion.
• Storage Overages: Users exceeding their iCloud storage limits may incur additional charges for extra space.
• Accidental Purchases: Children or others using the device without parental controls can lead to unintended purchases.
• Game Charges: In-app purchases within games can rack up costs unexpectedly, particularly if 'buy now' options are clicked without proper oversight.

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.
