Got charged $80 for a game I never bought

I got charged $80 for one of those games with in-app purchases. I never bought this game (I'm the one who has access to my laptop and iPod), so it wasn't a mistake from someone else. I don't even have that game installed on the iPod or in iTunes.
The game was:
MetalStorm: Online™, A Gigantic Pack of Coins, Seller: Z2Live, Inc
Does Apple give back the money in situations like this?
What worries me the most though, was that some kind of scam/hacking that the creators of the game did, is it a common mistake, or someone tried to hack my account?
Should I change passwords?
Thanks

Wow, same happen to me too. Some stupid game i dont even have. In-app $10 purchase on June 18th... I didn't even use my ipad for 3 days...
So i am also wodering what apple will do about that.

Got charged improperly for a movie download

Tried to download a movie for a plane trip. My wife tried first on her iPad and found she did not have enough memory. Then I tried on my iPhone 6 plus and although it said it was downloaded it didn't play on the plane. We got charged twice for a movie we could not watch. Tried to find support to get credit but can't find anything. What now?

Are you and your wife using the same iTunes account on your iPad and iPhone, and if you are how did you try to download the film ? If you are using the same account and you used the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone (assuming that you are in a country where films can be redownloaded) then you shouldn't have been charged again - you can use the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

App update for an app I never bought

I have both Angry Birds and Angry Birds Space for my iPhone, but never bought the app for my Macbook Pro.
Recently I have gone on to the Mac App Store and found an update for Angry Birds, which I found rather odd.
When I click update - it comes up with the log in box, and a completely different apple ID to mine. I contacted support and got this response:

Thank you for contacting iTunes Store Customer Support. I hope that you continue to enjoy the iTunes Store. Have a great day.
Sincerely,
Now to me, support should know what they are doing. And referring me to a community forum - surely isn't going to help? That's what I think anyway, but I'm here so I am hoping someone knows what's going on - can help me/know what I need to do to get rid of it.
Oh and I tried putting my own apple ID and hitting update - but that comes up saying "store error".

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Unfortunately she has been misdirecting folks with that update bug link for far too long.
Candidly, when you see the Apple ID for a stranger appear in the Mac App Store (MAS) on your Mac regarding an update for an app that you haven't bought, it is a notice that you have a pirated app that you got from an outside source. Some trial version or a "free" version is actually a MAS version that someone has cracked and is distributing.
Finding a pirated app
All MAS apps have a MAS receipt in their app bundle. Check any app acquired from the MAS. Right click on the app's icon in your Apps folder and choose Show package contents. In the Contents folder is a _MASReceipt folder and in that folder is the coded MAS receipt. It has the Apple ID of the MAS account that bought/acquired the app from the MAS. It is that receipt that the MAS uses to alert you that an app has an update. There would not be a notice of an update with someone else's Apple ID showing in the MAS on your Mac, if there was not an app with a receipt from this person's account somewhere on your Mac.
Download the free app FindAnyFile (FAF);
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
This app is easier to use and seems to be more powerful than Spotlight. Open FAF and in the box type _MASReceipt and press Find. It should come up with a list of every app on the Mac with a MAS receipt. Compare the apps with receipts in FAF's list with your purchased apps list in the Mac App Store. The odd app out should be the pirated app.

Trying to do a charged shot for a game

My name is Justin and I know next to nothing about Coding. Yet I was assigned to a coding team for a game we're working on for school. I managed to put together a decent shooting mechanic for our game by watching tutorials but I can't find any sources or tutorials on how to do charged shots. Here's my code. Any help would be much appreciated.

HT201303 I got charged 4x for one movie

Hello, I'm just checking in to see who I talk to about a bank overcharge. My bank is showing that I got charged four times for the same single movie (Lion King). It is currently in Pending Transactions with my bank and the bank can't do anything about it until it hits - but I wanted to tell iTunes so that it doesn't become an official charge.
Please help?
Thanks
