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 a supposed issue with the streaming device or subscription. The BBB advises users to double-check fees, watch for fake websites, compare customer service phone numbers, and avoid giving remote control of their device. Users who believe they have fallen victim to a scam are urged to report it using the BBB Scam Tracker.
