Yearly subscription scammers

A lady keeps calling me telling me i need to pay to keep my roku tv active. They have hacked into my tv and actually shut off my service. How can I lock my account?

Re: Yearly subscription scammers

Yes, sounds like scammers to me.  I suggest changing your password on your Roku account as well as setting up a pin to prevent accidental or unauthorized purchases.  If you have unknown charges on your credit card/bank card, I suggest contacting them as well.

I would think it is possible that someone can remotely install malware into a Roku device like any other device.  If it were me, I would also factory reset the device and set it up as a new one, just in case.
