Tap the i next to the entry for one of their calls in the call log. Scroll down and tap block contact.
No problem. I have dozens, if not hundreds of numbers blocked. Of course, most of them are bogus, I'm sure as the telemarketing / scammer scum often use fraudulent numbers, but it's better than nothing.

If you’re an AT&T customer, you can also download and enable their Call Protect app. It will automatically flag and block some spam and fraud calls without you havjng to do anything.
Thanks for that. I've never had to block someone, so now I know how to advise others.
