If Amazon Prime has charged you, it could be due to a few reasons even if you think you don't have it. First, check for any active subscriptions under your account, including forgotten trial memberships that might have automatically upgraded to a paid subscription. Second, someone with access to your account may have subscribed. To resolve, visit Amazon's 'Manage Your Prime Membership' page and check the subscription status. If unauthorized, consider changing your password and contacting Amazon customer support for a refund and to secure your account.
