Unlikely to be a scam.


It probably had a free trial that turned into a paid subscription, or just had a subscription out right when you download it. This is normal, and is up to you to understand what the App will do when downloaded. Subscriptions must be disclosed in the App description and app details. If you failed to see that, it does not make it a scam.


Make sure the subscription is correctly cancelled by following the step here: link-> How to cancel a subscription from Apple - Apple Support

And then contact Apple Support to request a refund: link-> contact Apple Support.
