Is APPLE MUSIC fraud?

• Subscriptions: Users may be charged for active subscriptions to services like Apple Music, iCloud, or Apple TV+, which auto-renew unless canceled.
• In-App Purchases: Charges can occur from in-app purchases made within apps downloaded from the App Store, which can be confusing if users are unaware of the costs.
• Apple Arcade: Membership fees for Apple Arcade might appear as charges, especially if the trial period ends without cancellation.
• App Store Purchases: Direct purchases of apps or games from the App Store can lead to charges that some users may forget about.
• Family Sharing: If you are part of a Family Sharing plan, you may see charges related to purchases made by other family members.
• Storage Upgrades: Charges may arise from upgrading iCloud storage plans beyond the free tier.
• Subscriptions to Third-Party Apps: Some third-party apps offered through Apple may have their subscriptions managed via Apple, resulting in charges from Apple.
• Account Settings Around Free Trials: Users may be charged after the conclusion of free trials for services they signed up for but forgot to cancel.
• Apple Pay Transactions: If Apple Pay is enabled, charges could occur from transactions made using this service.
• Apple Music Family Plans: If sharing an Apple Music family plan, charges may reflect subscriptions for multiple users.

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

First, try to contact the pass.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 pass.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 pass.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.
