Is APPLE.COM fraud?

• Subscriptions: Users might get charged for auto-renewing subscriptions like Apple Music, Apple TV+, or iCloud storage that they forgot to cancel.
• App Purchases: Charges can result from app or in-app purchases made on the App Store that the user may not remember approving.
• Family Sharing Charges: If part of a Family Sharing group, charges from shared subscriptions or purchases may appear on the account of the organizer.
• AppleCare Services: Charges for AppleCare or extended warranty services can also be a reason for unexpected billing.
• Repair Fees: Users who have had their devices repaired may see charges for service fees or parts replacements.
• Third-party Charges: Some users mistakenly attribute charges to Apple that are actually from third-party apps or services linked to their Apple ID.
• Trial Periods: Users may forget about free trials that convert to paid plans, leading to unexpected charges once the trial ends.
• Device Synchronization: Charges from app purchases made on another device that sync through the same Apple ID may also cause confusion.
• Gift Cards or Codes: Users might purchase items or subscriptions thinking they are using credits from gift cards without realizing they were charged to their payment method.

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.
