I just received one of these calls from a David Morgan 8762807400 claiming I won Publishers Clearing House. I called the REAL PCH scam hotline to report it. They, in turn, report it to the FTC.
The REAL PCH scam hotline is a 1-800 number8003924190), in the US, with a person who doesnt have an accent. They want to know about these scams.

Hi Everyone!
Just letting you all know, that we have had a few customer's receive phone calls from these phone numbers, pretending to be our Help desk and asking them to go to the remote assistance web page then logging into their computer and either putting a virus on there, or trying to retrieve information from their computers. Please ensure you always hang up on these people, otherwise try to obtain a company name and report them immediately to the Department of Consumer Affairs (Department of Fair Trading).

I had dile up so they gave me a number to call back and i researched the number so i will not be calling them back. i was suprised that the number was Australian because they did not sound Australian but the warning bells were going of... the guy told me his name was Dominic

I have received numerous calls from the PC Doctors. Last night, "Jonathon" gave me this number and I rang it while he was talking to me and I got a recorded message. He told me there was a virus that had infected 27,000 computers in my area. I responded with "that's BS". He was offended. In the end I told him I had a new Mac and he said I didn't have a problem then. On Saturday, a lady rang me and told me that "our" government was looking into these viruses etc. She admitted she was calling from India.
