Beware of Ereadwiz offering tips on Facebook, you follow a link then suddenly a payment of a £0.01 has been taken via Apple Pay and you are unknowingly subscribed to ongoing payments. Is there a way to stop these scammers using innocent clicks to take payments?

Sorry, but that’s Facebook issue. Apple can’t control what you click on. Apple Pay requires a double click of the side button and Face ID to OK the transaction.
How to get rid of this
You might have signed up for a subscription, but that has nothing to do with Apple Pay. Subscriptions through Facebook do not support Apple Pay. If you did an in app purchase, that isn’t Apple Pay either. Apple Pay works one way, you approve with biometrics (Face ID or Fingerprint ID or passcode) and that’s it.
It sounds like you agreed to a subscription and the initial 1¢ charge was to verify your payment method on you added to Facebook or it was an in app purchase and was verified to your Apple Account (not Apple Pay).
If only; a pay page came up for Apple Pay, I twigged it was a con, but closing the page authorised the £0.01 without finger print or other apple authorisation?
