Question

I was charged for an App that was presented as being free.Has this happened to anyone else and what did you do?

Answer 1

You were charged for downloading it (some apps allow you to make in-app purchases within them to unlock extra features) ?
If when downloading it then does a purchase price show on your purchase history : if you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases (the most recent purchase is above the list).
Of did you add or change your credit card details on your iTunes account when downloading the app ? If you have then each time that you do so a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.
