What were his instructions after that? It's just a place where you can run programs without having to navigate through the interface.

They were probably going to have you launch the event viewer (which invariably has a long list of warnings and errors), and try to scare you into believing that your computer has major problems. Then they would get you to allow them to remotely access your computer and "fix" it for a fee.

Did he ask you to type something after Windows+R? Sounds like he was trying to get you to install something.

windows r is a shortcut to open the run dialog box. from there, if you know the name of an exe file, you can run that file from that window.
So say you want to get to command prompt. instead of clicking start, and looking in accessories for the cmd prompt, you just hit windows r, type cmd and press enter. it's just a shortcut, and useful if your mouse dies.
There's a whole list of keyboard shortcuts
windows r - run box
windows e - windows explorer opens
windows L - locks your computer
windows d - takes you to your desktop
windows break/pause - opens up windows properties
windows tab - kinda does what alt tab does, but gives you tiles instead of icons.
