Wow.
This is the famous "refund" scam. When you say you don't want to renew, they offer you a refund. Then connect to your PC, have you log in to your bank account, and make it look like they accidentally sent you way too much money. Of course you have to send it back via gift cards or even taking cash out of your bank and mailing it to them. They usually transfer money between your bank accounts and edit the page to change the numbers.
This one is dangerous because people have been taken for thousands of dollars. Never let anyone connect to your PC and especially not your bank account!!!
