The original description was a bit fuzzy, but it seemed to fit what I found
online.

Someone calls claiming to be from (Microsoft) Tech Support, and says that
you are owed a refund for a support call. Their next step is to get you to
provide your CC info so they can credit you .... of course that's not
*quite* what they're going to do ;>

Don't provide personal information to anyone who calls you. Make sure when
you call them, you are using a number you have verified. Make sure they
represent who they claim ... those of us who don't have M$ products can be
pretty certain it's a scam from the start ;> . Folks with windows based
systems should keep track of your support calls and charges ... if you
never made a call, you aren't really going to get a refund (indeed, I'ver
never heard of M$ actually issuing a refund, so that's pretty dubious in
and of itself!)
