I second @RetiredGuy123 Individually blocking a spam/scam phone number seems good but won't stop you getting more of them - they just use another number. Don't click on the item at all; just do a "right click" and select delete. AND, do not let non-contact numbers come through. They will hit your number and be immediately sent to spam. Only caution is if you are expecting a call from someone who is not one of your contacts, you should temporarily turn off the non-contact rule. Their call won't make it to you unless you do that. Then either add them to your contacts list or at least resume the non-contact rule after you're done. It's a pain to do all this but the spam/scam people are relentless.
