Description

An apple app ad banner popped up on social media. When I accidently clicked on it, I got notification from Amex of two charges(?) $3.99 and $19.99 and when I researched what it was for, it's for apple watch faces and according to the reviews/comments it's a bogus app that doesn't work and is an apparent money grab as the "fine print" was unreadable and as the app auto-charged my amex card. This wouldn't be half as bad if the app actually worked and the site was legitimate, but it's not and the reviews scream this is a scam-app. I simply wanted them to reverse charges below is their response. I tried "reporting a problem" with Apple but for some strange reason, the charge do not appear under app store purchases so you cannot report an issue as it show's "free" - which obviously it's not.
