Blocking a spoofed number

If the caller is using a spoofed number, and you block it, do you block the spoofed ID or the real calling number?

Silence only spoofed numbers I'm getting up to 3 spoofed scam calls a day. No apps work on spoofed numbers, and the 'silence unknown numbers' function blocks stuff like delivery calls. Is there a way/app that only blocks spoofed numbers? Or at least, is there a setting/app that silence unknown numbers, but don't silence if the same number called again within say 2 minutes?

How to block all numbers with the same first 6 digits "neighborhood scam" How to block all numbers with the same first 6 digits out of the 10 digits of a phone. I receive over 25 calls a day from spoof numbers with my area code and first 3 digits. When I pick up there is nothing said. Just static and a short beep then it hangs up. How can I stop this.

Blocking a number I have blocked a specific number. However I still get calls… but they are from a different number, with different area codes each time. Can you please assist me with what I can do? I really don’t want to get a new number. I have had this number for several years. I’m so confused. This is clearly harassment. But how can I prove it’s truly the same person.

You block the real number, I've even received a call from myself.

Yes, and I'm a terrible salesman because I couldn't sell myself anything.
