    Windows Defender Scam?

    That was definitely not any official Microsoft support. That's a so called Tech Support Scam.

    Inform your bank, change passwords, remove remote access etc etc.

    > Protect yourself from tech support scams especially What to do if a tech support scammer already has your info

    > Getting help if you have been scammed

    Much more infos etc below.

    Some related and official Microsoft articles:

    Other non-Microsoft, but very good articles worth reading:
