I have found that blocking phone numbers is totally ineffective. Scammers use millions of different numbers when they call. I tried several call blocking apps, but none of them worked very well. The only thing that has worked for me is to leave my phone on "do not disturb" all the time with the exception of numbers that are stored in my contacts list. I still get calls from scammers, but I don't hear them, and they can leave a voice mail if they want to.
