I've noticed some charges on my Visa Debit card from Apple totaling around $14 this month and last month, but I don't have any Apple products or an account with them. I've looked up how to check subscriptions but obviously, I can't log in since I don't have an account. I'm worried I might be getting scammed or something. How can I resolve this?

Definitely contact your bank immediately! It's likely someone has stolen your card info and is making these charges. Just remember, Apple is probably not out to get you here.
I appreciate your response! I was just confused because this is new to me.
FYI, you don’t need to have Apple products to be charged by them. You might have signed up for a free trial of something like Apple TV or Apple Music without realizing it.
I’ve never signed up for anything Apple-related, just Spotify and Amazon.
Make sure to lock or freeze your debit card right away, and then call Apple Support at 800-275-2273. They'll help you look up the charge and mark it as fraud. Don’t forget to inform your bank as well that your card might be compromised!
Thank you! I'm heading to the bank now to sort this out.
Just be sure to call them using a number you verify, not the one on your statement. You don’t want to get caught in another scam.
Great advice! Thanks for the heads up.
Since you don’t own any Apple products, this sounds like something shady. Definitely dispute the charges with your bank. And stay away from any links associated with these charges—they might be phishing scams.
I thought I was good at spotting scams, but this really took me by surprise!
Right? It’s crazy how quick people jump to blaming Apple instead of figuring out their card is compromised.
