Fake Refund Call Asked for Banking Information

They said I was owed a refund, but then I noted they put their name as the receiver, and I also noticed it said I would be billed. When I questioned this, he said we were almost through as soon as I gave them my banking information. I hung up at that point. Then I received an email from Western Union stating I owed the amount they were telling me I was owed as a refund.
Unfortunately, a few months back I bought a program that they said I needed to keep my new computer protected. I paid with my debit card, but I never felt right about that transaction. I felt more unsure with this one, so I hung up when they asked for my banking information.
