See the following from Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support


Report scam phone calls to the Federal Trade Commission (U.S. only) at reportfraud.ftc.gov or to your local law enforcement agency.


However be aware that scam calls typically spoof the number and that the number displayed is frequently not the number actually making the call.


One option to consider is Settings > Phone > Silence Unknown Callers. See: Detect and block spam phone calls - Apple Support
