legitimate phone number for Apple Support?

I am getting messages that I have a virus, Apple Support called me back and told me I have a virus and then directed me to a web site but I am not comfortable this was legitimate. How do I know?

Thank you. I contacted Apple Support, they called me on my Phone and the gentleman at "Apple Support" then directed me to a website to 'disable the virus' but it was a 'free for first time' offer. This did not sound valid, but then I went through Apple Support so I am concerned!
