Somebody used my phone number for paying for Apple digital products.

Somebody used my phone number to make Apple digital purchases on another Apple account. On my Apple account I can't see any purchases. I didn't give permission any person to make purchase or make an account using my phone number. I would like a refund and delete the subscriptions or digital products that Apple account made who used my phone number to charge the fee for the purchases.

IF you can't see the purchase how do you know someone used your number?

Did you get a text or email stating that someone made a purchase? If so, that is probably a scam.

Did you check with your bank to see if a purchase was actually made?

Because I got text messege on my phone from Apple that somebody bought something with my phone number I went to my mobile provider, and they could see somebody had used my number to purchase digital products. This is how I know my phone number was used to purchase by somebody.
Unfortunately, the purchase is shown in my bill. I haven't paid it yet. I want to refund or something similar if it's possible because the scammer made the purchase.

those are scam text message as stated in my original response.

Contact your bank and let them know.
