Thank you for your help. I called Apple Support...a very nice assistant told me what to do. I did exactly what he said. It seems that it worked. Yes, I knew it was a scam and didn't call the number that was suggested! God bless you all!
You are quite welcome, and thank you for the feedback.
Stay alert.
I have an Apple Platform Security message on my MacBook Pro.
