The first thing is that you need to make sure that the email notification you got is really from Apple iTunes. Scammers and bad people may be trying to scam and trick you. Make sure that the email is legitimate. If you receive suspicious emails like these, you may report it to Apple via email ([email protected]). For instance, emails from Apple will never ask you to enter your social security number, full credit card number etc. If you are asked these, then that is a suspicious email.
The next step is to check your purchase history. If you do not see the purchases here, then the email notification you received was not real. If this is the case, simply delete the email and do not worry anything else. Here is how you can view your purchase history:
