The caller was persuasive, persistent and friendly, but I did decline the offer, suggesting one should never allow access to their computer to a caller. He called a second time and left a voice message claiming: "Security alert, security alert your Yahoo email has been used on other devices.Please call 1-888-991-3969." Technical Support does not call you, you call them. And, never give a stranger who randomly contacts you remote access to your computer. Be careful and do not be fooled by the technical support scammers. Check the comment section below for answers or additional information.

The instructions were to call 1 888 991 3969. I did call it, please let me know if I need to take anymore precautions besides changing my yahoo email password -done). Anyway, the call was answered pretty quickly by an man with an accent (India, Afgan, Pakistan, sounding) and a distracting muted buzz sound. I realized a company like yahoo would not have someone answer so quickly with such a strange background noise. I hung up. I then received another call almost immediately, which I answered. The caller said he was from Yahoo and our call was disconnected. I said, "no it wasn't, I hung up" and I hung up again."
