Question

Phone call scam.... fraud error code

I just received a phone call from a man who said he was from QuickBooks and he gave me error codes.   I was very suspicious.  He asked me if i knew how to find and fix the error codes.  He said if i didnt know how to fix the error codes  that he could guide me through it and asked me to open QB.    He gave me a phone number of [phone number removed].  I told him i thought he was a scammer and hung up.

Does this sound legitmate?

Thanks
