Same situation as you all have explained. Foreign sounding gentleman kept urging me to access something on my computer mentioning security threats and viruses to scare me. Spoke very quickly and asked me to type something in my web browser. He hung up as soon as I requested more information. He was using information from a legit network security company, so I immediately contacted the company and they let me know this was a complete scam.
Received a call from this number stating I had "numerous" malware programs placing my personal data at risk. Caller had vet strong accent. He couldn't tell me what version of windows I was running, nor my IP address. Couldn't ID the malware/specific viruses. He became angry when I called him out for trying to run a scam. I told him to lose my number and then hung up.
