Description

I bought a brand new Roku TV. Brought it home and began began activating the subscriptions. A notice came up to call a number to activate the subscription. I called them and they identified themselves as Hulu. They said my account had been compromised and they had to accelerate my call to Hulu security. They had me download any desk to my phone and then had me check my bank account. They had me send an error code through Zelle but it wasn't an error and the money went through. They then were apologetic and said they were trying to get my money back to me. They claimed they were trying to get the money back to me through Venmo but they kept sucking more money out of me until I hung up.
