Virus SCAM

I also just received a virus warning and threat that I needed to call **** immediately or my lap top would be locked. My laptop was locked momentarily. I called and a male answered with an Indian accent and there was a lot of very loud background noise. I questioned him as to his location and he said he was in California and tried to transfer me to someone else. I hung up and re-started my lap top and it now works. Please investigate this and advise apple customers about this scam.

Thank You.
