Account, payments & subscriptions

[Mobilekathy]

Once again, Roku has charged us for another fraudulent Hulu account. Roku lets just anyone have access to your account information.

They even tried to blame our four year old, saying he made the charges. He is FOUR.

What an incredibly ridiculous customer support strategy.

Hello @Mobilekathy

We're sorry to hear about the issue you're experiencing.

For account & billing concerns, it may be more effective to get help from our Billing team. You can contact them here: support.roku.com/contactus then choose 'Questions about my account or billing' on the drop-down menu. They are the best ones to help you out with that matter.

All the best,
Kariza

Who do you think I've been talking to for the last 90 minutes?

What have they done to fix this? NOTHING.

Do you have a PIN on your account?  If you don't have a PIN, it would be easy for a child to subscribe to a channel.  If you already have a PIN, then the next step might be to just remove your payment method from your Roku account.

My child is FOUR. 

And the express Roku we have  - unless he puts in an entire email address and navigates to the account screen and then adds a streaming service....which is something a FOUR YEAR OLD cannot do.

It's a little myopic to think that is the problem rather than face the fact that for the SECOND time this year, ROKU has provided someone access to our account.

Thanks for the post.

As previously stated in this thread, in order to prevent unwanted purchases, it's always best to add a PIN to your Roku account.

For more information about adding a PIN to your Roku account, visit our Support page here: Create or update your account PIN

Thanks,
