Okay and what happened after.

Customer Replay

I forced quit all applications, used Clean My Mac, removed all browsing history and restarted the computer.

Good, what do you see now on it?

Customer Replay

There was an bubble stating to call mac Support with a number. Right now the flash nitification hasn'treturned.

It looks like a scam. I hope you didn't call.

Customer Replay

I didn't call...that was what I was thinking, too.
