Wow, that is scary! Can you imagine how many times someone lets a stranger into their computer and take over their files? Embed files?
What are you going to do? I have a free system called iObit Uninstaller and will go through your computer and deep root clean anything you don't want in there and includes toolbars you don't even know you have, apps, the whole thing. malware Bytes is also good, and I would run both programs to clean your computer before it happens again.

I use Avast anti-virus, and when I click on a page I get a "bonk" warning 3 times that it captured and quarantined the bug on the page as a threat. It's very good.

Your scam variation and where to report it:

Good luck! I'd be nervous!
