My most recent CC statement included a $9.99 ongoing charge for Spotify. I have no interest in Spotify. I can't find evidence I downloaded it or installed it, either on an iPhone or a desktop. Is there a known security threat that uses their name to extract money from credit cards? Perhaps I missed a tool for finding it in Apple's IOS. I didn't find it in Storage in settings, nor did I find the name on my C: drive save for an entry in an Avast icons folder for a spotify_com.png. Thanks, baumgrenze
@baumgrenze This might be an early warning that someone has your creditcard details and is using it. Read this and consider cancelling your current card and getting a new CC number from your bank: "Watch Out for This Clever Credit Card Scam Not all fraud is big and obvious.

I've done that. I went back through my browser history and found that I visited a 'shopping cart' associated with a company that advertises access to VIN records. It is dated 8/15/20, 3 days before this charge. I find no evidence that I completed the transaction. As far as I can tell I filled in no personal information. It was near midnight, I was tired, so I closed the page and went to bed. Can a 'shopping cart' visit which I shut down provide a scammer with information about me that is useful in a database. This page offered me the opportunity to use PayPal when it is offered. There is no PayPal record of a transaction during the time in question. How would the scam described in the fool.com editorial work? Doesn't the seller have to provide the CC company with credentials just like the buyer? Does this suggest a 'mole' in the Spotify business who is profiting him/her self? Thanks, baumgrenze
I think you go to your iTunes account and click on Subscriptions, and there is where you enable/disable payments through Apple.
