We do have calls like these quite often. Virus ones my answer don't own a computer. PPI - I work for a bank but the next step would be i work for the FSA. Government grants ( a minute ago ) - not interested.
But what really winds me up it that some bloke uses our number when applying for lending, hence the frequent calls from "financial" company looking for him. Sometimes it's up to 3 times a day. It's driving me up the wall. Had his calls since last year.
We are registered with TPS - not working as well as we hope
At least it's good to know that the phone is still in working order.0 -

Get a home phone that blocks these calls. I have and don't get such nuisance calls.0
