Once you call them they know they have you and can start getting information from you.
My daughters mother in law had actually just purchased Norton anti virus for her computer.

About a week later she gets this same thing (think it was a pop-up) Only difference was that it said she had 'overpaid', and they wanted to issue a partial refund. So she gave all the bank info, and they cleaned them out. Business accounts, savings and so on.

Best to toss in trash, or if on line, mark sender as SPAM and move on.
