Product: HP 17.3 Touch Core I3 Laptop
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Who do I contact to find out if the info I've been told is true. I got a call from a security co called SecurePC telling me my Microsoft security certificate has expired and I needed to pay them to purchase another from Microsoft. They made it seem so impairative that I went ahead and mde the $89 purchase. After thinking it over I wonder if  I had been bamboozled.
