Type of a scam Tech Support

Got a call from this service, with an individual with an Indian accent. Tried to con me out of money for computer support, which I did not need. he got hold of my computer online, to "get rid of virus and optimize it, and claimed it was loaded with virus or problems. (I doubted it, and told him so.) He then tells me that there was a substantial amount of money accidentally transferred to my account, ($8000). I checked my accounts on my iPhone and all were normal, No money transferred. He insisted that there was a money transfer, It just didn’t go through yet. He then tells me I have to go to an Apple Store, and buy $5000 worth of Itune Cards at the Apple Store to transfer to his companies account. (He would take care of it after I bought the cards and gave him the code #s). I laughed at him, told him he was a terrible scammer, and hung up. Before I could do anything with my computer, (he still had hold of it), He closed it down and put a lock on it. Now its at the Geek Squad being repaired (hopefully). I don’t know the name of this illegitimate company, but they are obviously out to scam people Hopefully the above phone #s will help.
