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 TV to fix a supposed issue with the streaming service. They can also install malware and collect personal information. The BBB advises users to double-check fees, watch for fake websites, compare customer service numbers, and avoid giving remote access to their devices. Victims are urged to report scams using the BBB Scam Tracker.
