Unauthorized Apple Pay charge from non-Apple company

Random unknown charge to my Apple Pay from AppleCom. Not Apple.com

Apple said that it’s not from an official Apple company. So why is this not being fixed or looked into by Apple? This is the second time this has happened.

Make sure you report it to Apple so that it can be reported to the proper authorities by Apple. Apple has no investigative or legal authority to stop such activity.


You can contact your cellular provider and internet service provider and inquire about anti spam services. You can also look in the Apple App Store for software that might assist.


”To report a suspicious SMS text message that looks like it's supposed to be from Apple, take a screenshot of the message and email the screenshot to reportphishing@apple.com.”


You can report phishing at these links and most importantly your local law enforcement.

No, not automated or even AI. I wrote it and I’ve written 100’s just like it. If it sounds artificial, it’s from writing so many.


Consider yourself lucky if you’ve only received a handful. I get on average 3 or 4 spam texts a day and a dozen emails. I never knew Nigeria had so many princes or businesses in China need sales reps. 😂😂


You did the right thing by contacting Apple using information in the support app. I hope you have a great weekend!
