Yes.. and that is an incredibly common scam. NEVER allow them to download software or remote session into your computer: your computer WILL be infected with Identity Theft software if you do. You also would likely be billed several hundred dollars for the honor of having their malware installed as well.
No legit company works this way. Very good thing you disconnected and did not download the software.
