This has all the hallmarks of a scam, particularly given the invalid area code and prefix; I would advise against paying the $200, as it may lead to further identity theft and computer access.

Expert Opinion
Watch out for callers claiming to be Yahoo support asking for money. These calls usually come from overseas numbers and try to exploit a hacked email account by demanding a $200 payment for a quick fix. Never share personal info or payment details with unsolicited callers, and always verify the request through official Yahoo channels. Hang up, block the number, and report it to the FTC or your phone carrier. Consider enabling two‑factor authentication on your email and running a reputable antivirus scan. If you suspect your account was compromised, reset your password directly on Yahoo’s website, not over the phone.

It's appearent that this number is not the official Yahoo main office, as claimed by the 'tech' in India, and the offer to fix my wife's hacked e-mail for $200.00 is likely a scam.
