BBB warns of smart TV scam targeting consumers.

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has warned of a scam targeting smart TV users through pop-ups on their devices. Scammers pose as customer service representatives and ask for an activation fee or remote control of the smart TV to rectify the supposed issue. They can also install malware on the device and collect sensitive personal information. The BBB advises users to double-check any fees, avoid fake websites, check before calling, and never let anyone control their device remotely. Victims are urged to report the scam using the BBB Scam Tracker.
