Check your skills

I was going over the skills in the alexa app and found a skill that was added without permission.   It was called JHCP Prod and it is an ambient advertising app that shows ads on the homescreen. 

Might want to check your skill list to see if it's been added.

Thank you for that. It hadn;t crossed my mind that the ads were a Skill... This is why we have trust issues. I;ve been hunting the setting that was allowing the ads, this should take care of it. And now I have awareness that those Skills can be auto added somehow. I had no idea.

Again thanks.
