A charge appears on your card.
You don’t remember paying for anything.
At first, it feels like an unauthorized payment.
You assume it must be a mistake.
Later, you realize the device was shared.
A family member used the same phone, tablet, or computer.
The payment was real—but it wasn’t made by you.
Why This Happens
- A family member stayed logged in on a shared device
- Saved payment details were used automatically
- No account switch was made before checkout
- The device remembered the last active profile
Why It Looks Like Your Payment
- The charge appears on your card or bank statement
- No login prompt appeared during checkout
- The receipt email went to a shared inbox
- The device was previously used by you
How to Confirm What Happened
- Check which account was logged in at the time of purchase
- Ask other device users about recent activity
- Review the receipt details carefully
- Look for saved payment methods on the device
When a payment comes from a shared device, it often feels personal.
In reality, it’s usually a case of account overlap—not fraud.
