Suspicious App Store deductions by “Purchase-MC @APPLE.CO”

I’ve been deducted 3x by “Purchase-MC @APPLE.CO” for the past week. I don’t have any other active subscriptions that matches the bill. Help 🥺

I have never seen that as a legitimate Apple charge. I would suspect that your card has been compromised. Scammers use names of legitimate companies in hopes you will not dispute the charge so they will continue. The most likely cause for this is that you used your card at a payment terminal that had a skimmer attached. These are frequently found at gas stations and some ATM machines where they can install the skimmer device overnight without any interruptions, but can also be installed on any terminal. You will want to contact your bank and dispute the charge. They will cancel that card to prevent further charges and issue you a new one.


To make sure it is not a legitimate charge, contact Apple here:
