Maybe put Apple Inc in quotes.

Your (or any) phone system does not know who the number belongs to. It just displays the number and the name that is supplied vey the caller. It is very easy to spoof numbers and names for incoming calls. There are legitimate reasons for that.

Anyway, after the first call, can't your phone block future calls or are they using a direct call from number each time.

We just let them go to VM, then put them on a block list. Understand your frustration but there is not anything in place today to effectively prevent spam calls.
