$8.79 charge for “Apple Streaming Online”?

Hello,


A $8.79 CAD charge just showed up on my credit card for “Apple Streaming Online”. I am not signed up for such a service. Looked through my subscriptions and there’s nothing for that or Apple TV or anything similar and I don’t have access to Apple TV+. Pretty annoyed, can anyone tell me what this is for?


just started a free trial for Apple News at around the same time the charge appeared, not sure if that’s relevant.

A correct real credit card statement for Apple services would be listed as “Apple.com/bill”. It wouldn’t list what product or service it was for. You’d have to go into the purchase history for your account, in order to see the details for the charge.


Consider if “Apple Streaming Online” could be a fraudulent impersonating organization, if you can’t find a matching reference in your official purchase history. Then contact your bank or financial institution about reversing/​undoing that charge and blocking any future attempts from them.
