Blocked Callers & Texters

I've blocked a scammer and the phone number that I've blocked is still able to text me. The phone number is listed as a blocked caller and is also listed in the text SMS/MMS section as a blocked number as well. Why hasn't this been fixed?

Said scammers are probably spoofing that number when they are actually using a different number to text you.
