I think it might be similar to the Microsoft scam because the guy tried to tell me that spyware on my computer/despite Norton had corrupted my Gmail account. He wanted to put something on my computer and charge me for it.  He also wanted access to my computer. All I wanted was for him, if he was working for Google as support, to help me reset my password and fix the problem on the Gmail end.
