Called two different times (same day) I answered the second time, an a recorded female voice said that I would be the only caller joining the conference. Weird! Then they hung up.

call about my computer - same voice as other scam calls

Just received the call, I didn't recognize the number but I googled it and saw the comment. I find it hard to believe that people are still gullible for that scam.
I don't know who these creeps are, but the last one scared me. He said he was already in my computer so I asked him what I was looking at. He said that he was looking at my banking information. Is that at all possible????

Under certain circumstances, yes.
However, they can only gain access if
* You let them, by following their instructions to "fix" your computer, or
* Your computer has a severe malware infection, picked up by visiting certain ... err ... risky sites.
Even if they got into your computer, if your banking data and passwords were encrypted, they could not readily see the info. If your passwords were "plain text", that IS a problem.
Do this NOW:
1. Disconnect your computer from the internet
2. Run FULL malware scans, and clean the computer
3. Let us know what happened
To be safe, I would add to what Slim said and change logins and passwords. I would also notify the bank that your computer may have been compromised so that they can look for unusual activity.
