Don't call those numbers. It's either Mackeeper, third-party optimization software that almost nobody needs, or a third-party security scam that promises to fix non-existent problems for a hefty fee, and usually wants you to download remote-access software that lets them access your Mac directly. And you might want to stay off whatever site was pushing those pop-ups at you, because they're not very choosy about whom they take their ad money from.
