This forum is just a user to user forum, no-one here has any account access, if you are sure no-one else has access to your banking details, using any Microsoft account you may have, try using the steps they provide on this link to find out what that payment was for.

Answer 2

Unexpected billing for an account that is not recognized is handled as an unrecognized or disputed charge and must be resolved directly with Microsoft billing/support, because account-specific investigation cannot be done through forums.

Use these steps depending on the scenario:

1. Investigate the charge in the Microsoft account dashboard
   • Go to the Manage your payments page of the Microsoft account dashboard and select Investigate next to the charge that is not recognized. This workflow helps identify whether the charge is from:
     • A Microsoft subscription with recurring billing enabled.
     • A purchase made by a family member using the card.
     • A previously declined charge that was retried.
     • A pre-order or split order that has now shipped.
     • An in-app purchase from an app or game.
   • Details and troubleshooting are described under How to investigate a billing charge from Microsoft.
2. If the charge truly does not belong to any account
   • If the charge is not associated with any known Microsoft account or subscription after using Manage your payments → Investigate, contact Microsoft billing support so a billing agent can review and correct or refund if appropriate. Community forums cannot access billing data or process refunds.
   • For Microsoft 365 and consumer subscriptions, use Account & Billing Help or Contact Microsoft Support and choose a billing/subscription category to reach a support agent (chat or call) who can securely access the billing profile.
3. If the charge is related to Azure or other services
   • For Azure charges that are not recognized, create a billing support request in the Azure portal. Billing support is free and handled by the Azure billing team.
4. If multiple or duplicate charges appear
   • If multiple cards or multiple times were charged, this also must be handled by the billing team. Use the Microsoft 365 admin center (for business tenants) or consumer billing support (for personal subscriptions) to open a ticket so the billing profile and charges can be corrected.

If the charge is clearly fraudulent and not tied to any Microsoft account that can be accessed, also work with the bank or card issuer in parallel to dispute the transaction while Microsoft investigates.
