Charge for lifetime service

Jump to solution

I got a phone call from Roku a gentleman called and told me that I have to pay $250 for a lifetime but I already paid $125 for five years. I just don’t get it why am I being charged for all the stuff.

Neither the one calling you, nor whoever you previously paid the $125 to (likely the same group), have anything to do with Roku.  There is no charge to register a Roku, nor is there any sort of 5 year or lifetime plan.

Somehow you managed to contact scammers posing as Roku, likely when you first set up your account.  This often happens through a bogus website found via a web search or mistyping a valid Roku address.

this sounds like a scam to me. I’d be careful
