Type of a scam Tech Support

The caller, claiming to be from Prime Technology LLC, told my mom that her computer was being hacked people in Nigeria. The caller said he would put a firewall up to protect her computer. At first, he said it would cost $699. My mom said she couldn’t afford that much so he lowered the cost to $499 and eventually $199.99 which she agreed to pay. The caller said they couldn’t take credit card but asked that she mail a check to Greenwood, South Carolina. She mailed a check.
