It sounds like a scam. Microsoft would give you more information than that if they called, and they would not call you to tell you someone hacked your computer. It looked like the same number called someone else with the same scam here.

If you want to verify with Microsoft that it wasn't them, you can reach Microsoft customer support at 800-642-7676.
