I just got an email about a $200 transaction that I don't recognize. I haven't made any purchases recently. Has anyone else seen something like this? What should I do?

Received an email with a transaction notification for a service I never signed up for. It looks legitimate but I'm really worried. Could this be a scam or a mistake?

I found a charge on my account for an amount I didn’t authorize, and I got an email confirmation for it. I'm sure I didn't make this transaction. How do I resolve this?
