No one can stop them for you. You can use your carriers block features/services (they usually offer a free basic version and a more premium one you have to pay for). You can also try any of the blocking apps available (most will require a fee for more advanced service). But no guarantee that it will stop all scammers from getting through. Unfortunately this is the world we are in
