While going over my online banking statement I discovered a charge in the amount of $12.08 from Roku for Disney (816-2728107). I logged on to my Roku account and it stated that I did not have any active subscriptions (I certainly didn't remember making any changes) and when I checked my account history it shows the last time I purchased anything was in 2017. It's virtually impossible to speak with a human, so I filled out the request online to have the charge refunded and for this to not occur again. In return I received an email about Roku's privacy updates. I went back to check my online banking today and found two new PENDING charges, Roku for ESPN and Roku for Peacock. I then called my bank and she told me I would have to deal with Roku's customer service and gave me a number to call. The number referred me to the exact same website I visited yesterday. I began examining my online banking further and found four more charges that I missed in November. I have since filed a dispute with my bank, , another complaint with Roku, and now canceled my debit card. I'm not only out $75.82 in fraudulent charges, but time, and unnecessary anguish over this situation. Do better Roku. You are a big company. Tighten up your security. Stealing from hard-working people will land you in hot water. Literally. Also, do better serving the public. It's almost as if you HAVE things you hide. Customer service shouldn't be this much of a hassle. Shame on you. I will be sharing this post on all my social media.

I did and got no help. Shocking, right. Woke up to a new charge today and a new grievance filed with my bank and the BBB. I hope someone get compensated for all the grief this company puts people through.
Hey Danny. How about you actually do some customer service personally instead of having a blanket email response.
Hi @droberts76

@droberts76 If you have not done so you need to login to your Roku account on a computer and go to manage subscriptions. If the subscriptions you mentioned are not there it is likely you either have a second Roku account with a different email or the charges are not actually from Roku and they will not be able to assist you. If the subscriptions are listed you can unsubscribe there. I also suggest adding a PIN to make purchases while you are logged into your Roku account.
