Microsoft Security Essentials

G'day,

I turned on my computer and I received a warning which I thought was M S E saying I had a virus. I was asked to click on a chat site.  I talked vie typing to a Mike that informed me that I have a problem with my computer.  He asked me questions about the computer.  He told me to wait as my computer had been hacked and I had a serious problem.  He asked for my phone number and a person would phone me to restore my computer.  A James phoned me and asked if he could look through my computer files.  He looked through them and pointed out all the hackers, from all over the world.  He told me that they had hacked into M S E and also destroyed my Firewall.  He said he would help me to remove them and said he had.  I was then told he was going to install another security, firewall and a pop up blocker for that I had to pay $440.  I told him I was on a pension and could not afford that.  He then lowered the price to $220 he even suggested that I pay $110 now and $110 later.  I said no as I could not afford it.

I have looked into my history and it is empty. So I could not get the web site.

I have just completed a Full Scan with M S E and nothing is wrong.

I am writing this to warn others.  Has anybody else had this happen to them?
