Hi @sul,
Thanks for reaching out to the Roku community!
We're sorry about the issue. It sounds like you weren't speaking with a Roku representative.
Roku will never charge you an activation or support fee, and we won't ask for sensitive details like payment information over the phone.
If you are being charged for a service you do not recognize, please reach out to our support team directly here for your 'Account or billing' issue, here: https://support.roku.com/contactus. They will be able to further assist you.
We sincerely appreciate your patience and we are working on ways to better improve this process.
Regards,
Mary
