Contact your Bank:

Contact your financial institution (bank) pertaining to this card, as this may be being seen as a scam (though that may not be the case). It would be a matter of security for you as a credit card holder. So, call them, letting them know that all os okay to be followed through with.

Hi MrsChappy57,

Welcome to the Apple Community.


The "Related article" above your question has the tips on what to do.


Does your card's expiry date need updating:

If needed: Change, add or remove Apple ID payment methods – Apple Support


If you have disputed a charge, you may need to contact your card-provider to allow payments to Apple.


Else if you have tried everything:


✽. You can check you are properly signed in (to your device) with your Apple ID:

Sign in with your Apple ID - Apple Support


✽ You might want to check your card is a payment method Apple can accept in your country or region:

Payment methods that you can use with your Apple ID - Apple Support


✽. You may be trying to purchase something that is not available in your country or region:

Availability of Apple Media Services – Apple Support


Else:

You might want to reach out to the Billing Support Team:

There is a "Get Support" link (or an app) at the bottom of their webpage (link below)

Subscriptions and Billing - Official Apple Support


All the best :-)
