Windows Defender Scam Email - Fake Charge and Invoice

I have received several of these scam emails over the past few months and I just delete them. But today, I decided to call their number to see what their scan was. The tech (foreign) answered. I asked why they were auto-renewing something I don't have, don't want, and will not pay for. He said "no problem" and would work with me to cancel the charge. All I had to do was allow them to hook up my computer to their server to remove the software and cancel the service...RIGHT!

I told him I would never allow them to connect to my computer...pause...he hung up!
