I was using Google Chrome and a separate tab opened itself informing me that my computer's security had been compromised and to call this # immediately.
Natalie answered, asking to verify if I was on a laptop/desktop, using Windows 7/8, etc. Finally directed me to a website where she asked I type in my first name and then a code she was going to give me, saying that this would prompt a download to give her access to my computer to find out what was wrong with it.
It's a SCAM. They intend to encrypt and hijack your entire computer and it is not fixable without their encryption code... which they will give you after you pay them.
