Why was I charged twice for the same thing ??

[Robert62972]

My Verizon receipt has the $40 prepaid upfront cost listed but no PIN number. I bought Samsung Galaxy S8 prepaid phone from Verizon and was charged $40 initial airtime fee. When I activated the phone, Verizon charged my card $40 again for 1st month. I got double billed! How do I fix this?
