Unauthorized Apple Charge on My Bank Account – How Can I Identify It?

Unauthorized Apple Charge on My Bank Account – How Can I Identify It?


I noticed a ₦20,000 debit on my Wema Bank account that appears to be related to Apple. The problem is that I do not have an Apple ID, Apple subscription, or any Apple purchase that I recognize.


I have already checked my Apple purchase history but cannot find anything corresponding to the charge. This is actually the second unexplained debit I have experienced, as I previously had another debit of approximately ₦1,000+ which I reported to my bank.


Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there a way to contact Apple directly or identify an Apple transaction when you don't recognize the charge and it doesn't appear in your purchase history?


I would really appreciate any guidance on how to trace and dispute this transaction.
