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?

There is no way to tell if a number is spoofed, so it is thus not possible to block spoofed numbers.


Your carrier can tell if a number is being spoofed, and some carriers have a service that will block spoofed numbers.
