Troubleshooting Rejecting Unknown Callers:
A. View Contacts Search Bar:
Go into the Contacts app and type the number in the top. If it pops up, then it is assigned as a contact. So, black the contact.
B. Use Malwarebytes Mobile Security:
The free version blocks popups. The paid version blocks out known spam numbers, and lets you add number to the block list. So, consider using it.
