My Peacock TV Experience Continued

Tweet

Yesterday I posted about my experience trying to cancel my subscription to PeacockTV. I saw that the sub-fee had gone through my bank today so I called them to lodge a dispute. The rep I spoke to gave me a number for Peacock customer care that she found. I called it and a man with what I think was an Indian accent answered. I told him I was canceling the service. He instructed me to go to the Play Store and download an app called Ad Desk. I found it and looked it over. I questioned this immediately, did not download it, and called my grandson to come up and see what he thought. The app even said very definitely to only use it with people you trusted. I told the rep I didn't feel comfortable and he started telling us this story about seeing where entities in New Jersey, California, and Mexico had access to my Peacock account and he needed to get a certain code from my phone that would then allow them to cancel my service. WHAT A BUNCH OF HOOEY! I wanted the bank to know about this number and have this scam center experience added to my dispute info. I hung up and called the bank back. After telling three different reps my story I got to the right one. She added this information. I also wanted the number noted as a scam center so other people wouldn't call it. It took her forever to find where the previous rep had found this number. She noted my experience in calling the number. Last night I Googled each one of my TV apps and found each one had a designated toll-free number for customer service. Geez Louise! We need to be so careful in any accounts or things we have access to nowadays.
