Is APPLE PAY fraud?

• Subscriptions: Many users report unexpected charges from Apple due to ongoing subscriptions for services such as Apple Music, iCloud, or other apps.
• In-app Purchases: Some customers have experienced charges from in-app purchases made in games or apps, sometimes without realizing they had enabled automatic renewals.
• Family Sharing: Users in Family Sharing plans may notice charges for purchases made by family members, which can lead to confusion if notifications aren't received.
• Free Trials Ending: Charges may occur when a free trial period for a service ends, prompting automatic billing unless cancelled beforehand.
• Accidental Purchases: Some individuals inadvertently purchase items or subscriptions, often due to accidental clicks while navigating apps on their devices.
• App Store Purchases: Specific apps may charge for purchases or upgrades that users may forget about, resulting in charges appearing on their accounts.
• Pre-orders: Charges can also appear for pre-ordered items from the Apple Store, leading to costs that users may overlook.
• AppleCare Services: Users who have AppleCare may notice charges related to service plans or claims associated with device repairs.

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

First, try to contact the screen.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 screen.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 screen.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.
