Windows 10: Scam or not?

Hi everybody,

this morning I was surfing when an alert message appeared onto my screen.

I called the number +39 055....., I thought it was the number of technical assistance.

I paid 199,50€ for a six-month assistance service.

They told me my PC was in a very bad condition and my personal information were at risk.

Now I'm seriously worried because I don't know if it's been a scam.

What can I do now? Please help me.

I can provide some details they gave me, as well as the invoice for the service provided.

:)
