I was setting up my new ROKU account and had trouble getting the access code to work. I Googled ROKU and called the number referenced on the site. IT WAS NOT ROKU. I spoke to someone via phone and they directed me up the ladder to someone else. They said that my ROKU wasn't working and there was something that might be wrong with the drivers and wanted access to my computer to check it out. Like a dummy I did (I KNOW, MY BAD). Then they wanted $500.00 to clean out the trojan viruses. (Stupid is as stupid does.) I paid it. After it was all over my wife called my daughter who said I was scammed. I got a new credit card and have to go through all of that stuff. Now I have trouble trying to reset the data on ROKU and don't know if "they" are causing my problems with that. God bless us one and all!
Another scam
Good Morning,
