    Spammers use different often genuine numbers each time they call so it’s very difficult to block them. When the current POTS system becomes all digital it will be easy for providers to block these numbers.

    It is pointless trying to block these numbers. Most are either fake or worse cloned from genuine users who are nothing to do with the scam. The only people that would suffer are the number’s genuine users.
