If the only indication of the charges is from an email or text, be aware that it may be a phishing attempt to get you to log in to a site that appears to be Apple and divulge your password or credit card information. See: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support

and Identify legitimate emails from the App Store or iTunes Store - Apple Support


If the email was a scam as indicated above and if you used a link in the email and entered your password to sign in, your Apple ID is compromised. Change your password immediately. See: Change your Apple ID password - Apple Support
