Please clarify

Received a call today claiming my data service is expiring and I need to renew. 

We have two users on the account and he claimed it would prevent us from using QB. When I clarified it's because of this he then said no it will affect just a single user too. I then said I have had QB for years & never paid a Data Service Fee. He said, Oh, it's because you are auto renewal & we are no longer doing auto it must be paid manually every 1/3/5 years whichever plan you have. I know my QB bills and they do not have this charge.  Is this a scam too?
