Description
I had just purchased a new Vizio TV and was trying to set it up to receive my local channels. I was having trouble with setup and do an internet search and found a website that claimed to be Vizio support. They said that in order to activate my new TV I could pay $49 for a 1-year set up or $89 for a 5-year set up. I didn't think that was right, so I hung up and called Better Business Bureau, which gave me a phone number for the actual Vizio support. I could have lost a lot had I not called BBB. Thank you!
