It is probably not the actual number they are calling from. That is call spoofing, and the spammers are using that more lately and are switching all the time. You do have the option to turn on Silence Unknown Callers, however that will also block anyone that is not in your Contacts.

Blocking This Out:

Use a Third-Party app called Malwarebytes Mobile Security. It is developed by long time users of these forums, making it fully-trustworthy for Apple devices.
