Type of a scam Phishing

While researching ways to get my aol emails to load onto my ipad, I came across this website that offered 24/7 AOL Support. When I called the phone number, a man named Sam answered (later I realized that he didn’t identify that they were with AOL Support) and he requested remote access to my home computer to help with my ipad issue. I realized that this seemed "fishy" and ended the call and the remote access, I am hopeful that he wasn’t able to access any info from me but I do not want others to fall prey to this scam.

I received a phone call from harry perks, aol tech, 1 800 935 0817 ext 114. Harry said my aol email account was sending fraudulent emails to others scamming them for money. He wanted access to my computer to fix the problem. I told him i would call him back. I then called aol customer service who confirmed it was not aol calling me & that they would never call me. I called harry back & advised him i knew he was lieing to me & advised to never contact me again. Harry disconnected the line.
