I received email that I purchased Windows Defender (555.68USD). I called number listed, 3 different times, informed each person I didn’t purchase Windows Defender and told each person my computer hasn’t worked in over a year. Each person kept saying I need to log onto my comp so they could see what is going on. I told each person, numerous times my computer doesn’t work. The first hung up on me. I called back (it sounded like the same person), told him what happened and I made the comment this sounds like a scam. He got mad and cursed at me and hung up. Third time it sounded like a different person. I explained everything again. When I said this sounds like a scam he hung up.
