NO!!!!!!!! That is a scam. Roku does not charge for use of your device, there's nothing to expire. Also, Roku does not have a toll-free phone number, so that's always a dead giveaway. The 608-960 phone number comes back as Madison Wisconsin, while Roku is located in California. 

Do not call them, or respond in any way. They either sent you a blind email, hoping you had a Roku device, or somewhere in the dark web they know you own a Roku.

I got a text first from South Carolina then a phone call from Canada saying I have to pay 50 dollars or my service will end on December 10 I told this person items a scam and he got loud with me so I hung up the phone

THAT IS A SCAM!  NO REPUTABLE COMPANY WOULD EVER TEXT YOU ASKING FOR A PAYMENT!  Roku is free to use.  If you paid someone to activate your device or you're paying someone just to use your Roku it isn't Roku and you're getting ripped off.
