they are back again

working

Today I was having trouble with my gmail account. I got a security alert email from google stating my account had been accessed ‘Near Dilshad Garden, Dehli India’. I followed advice and changed my pw. However my Gmail account, operating with Outlook 2010, persisted in asking for my password. I could not get the pop-up box to disappear. I eventually google searched ‘gmail help australia’ and called a number 1800958218. https://customer-help-number.com.au/gmail-support-australia.html. I told the guy ‘Mark’ my issues and he told me he could help, and asked to access my pc. I allowed this. Mark showed me a dos window apparently showing my IP address and beside this numerous overseas address which are accessing my address. Mark told me he could fix my problems by installing ‘Microsoft Office Professional 2016 plus’, and do a ‘clean up’ and uninstall unwanted software. In signing agreement to do this, the quote was for $589. The company was MacGeeks of Suite Morriset Square 35 Yambo Street Morriset 2264 ABN 91 619 160 119. The Office software appears to have installed correctly. I don’t know what clean-up was performed. Have I been scammed?
