This is a scam phone number. It is not Apple billing you. Your payment method (credit/debit card) has been compromised and the scammers are disguising the charges. The bank that issued the payment method approved the charge(s), it’s not Apple.


Please call the phone on the back of your card and report the fraud.

Just for the record, that phone number is not Apple and it never has been. The phone number is a scam. Your credit/debit card has been compromised. You need to immediately report it to the bank that issued the credit card. Use the phone number on the back of the card. But whatever you do, do not call the number, or respond in anyway.

I did not make that purchase.

Who did? That is what needs to be determined and what actions should be taken.


For an in-app purchase managed by Apple, it requires a person to double click the side button, followed by verification with TouchID/FaceID or Passcode. That is not something that can be done by accident and if not done by you, then your phone has been compromised and you need to immediately change your Passcode, Password, and any financial accounts you have in your Wallet. This cannot be done remotely, so it would mean someone had physical access to your device and knew your Passcode. If you give someone else your Passcode, you have authorized them to make purchases.


With that information, what have you gathered when you review your Purchase History to identify what the charge is for:

If you do not see the charge in your Purchase History, then it is not being managed by Apple and we would need to know the exact description of the charge you see. Any charge from a subscription/free trial made on a website will directly charge your payment method and it is not managed by Apple. To cancel those or request a refund, you would need to contact that website where the charge initiated.

I have been charged multiple times by a scammer claiming to be apple using the number 866 713 **. What can I do?

Dispute the charges with your bank. Your card has been compromised, either through a phishing message/email or the card number was skimmed from a payment terminal. These skimmers are most common at gas stations where the thieves can install them overnight without much interruption, but can also be installed on ATM's and retailer terminals.

It is nothing to do with the card in your Apple Wallet. A subscription is billed to your card directly, it does not go through your Wallet. Your bank can certainly block the charges and simply issuing you a new card is not likely to stop a recurring charge. You bank uses a service called a Credit Card Updater that gives your new card details to the merchants with recurring charges, so they must prevent that from happening. If you see the charges on your new card, it is your bank that gave them your new card number.

Not exactly sure what you are looking to accomplish:

  • If you have a subscription that is being managed by Apple, then stop the charging by cancelling the subscription.

  • If you have a subscription from a third party, then you need to contact them to cancel the charges
  • If you want to close your Apple Card Account

Those are the questions that need answered to determine how the charge could have occurred. On your device, it would require double clicking the side button with the amount showing on the screen, followed by verification with TouchID/FaceID or Passcode. If you signed up for a free trial, then those must be cancelled at least 24 hours before the trial period ends. If you are the Organizer of a Family Plan using Purchase Sharing, then you have authorized member to make purchases using your payment information.


Without knowing how the charge occurred or at least what is was for, you may have much more serious problems with your banking information being compromised or your Apple Account needs to have the Password changed and Passcode on your device.
