asked

I want to ensure my information is safe. I encountered a popup claiming my computer was hacked and to call a specific number. I called and allowed a person claiming to be from Microsoft Edge to access my computer remotely. They showed me a hack and offered a fix for $799.99, which I couldn't afford. They then quoted me the exact amount of money I had in my accounts. I told them to leave my computer, but they said my accounts would be cleaned out if I didn't proceed. What should I do to secure my information and prevent this from happening again?
