What I have done on my cellphone is block those callers. Once you know the phone number of the caller, add it to your contact list, as something like spammer 1, spammer 2, etc. Then go into the contact (edit) and block the caller. You will never get another call from them to ring through.

This method works on an iPhone...

Happy Blocking
That works unless the dialer is on a rotary system. I block one number and later on I get another call from the same company on a slightly different number.
