The spoofed number that shows up on your caller ID is not the real number that they are calling from. As a result, when you "block" a spoofed number, that same blocked number will reappear on your caller ID when they call you again. The only way to stop spoofers is for the U.S. Congress to pass some sort of law that will force phone carriers (AT&T, Verizon, etc.) to block spoofed callers, if the carrier cannot identify the real number that they are calling from. Until then, the problem is going to get worse.

These damned robocallers are royal P.I.T.A. Either they are from the IRS, Social Security Administration, Apple cloud, credit card company, extended warranties etc., etc. I love it when I get a call and the caller ID shows MY phone number!! I know I shouldn't do so but I answer these calls and play along long enough to either piss off the Indian on the other side of the line and they hang up or until s/he tries to get me to use my computer, at which time I advise them to do a sexual act with himself. My guess is that the VoIP is what prevents the phone carrier(s) fro m knowing where the turdball is actually calling from? I would love to be able to stop these A-holes from calling. When they threaten me with arrest I tell them to advise their officer that I am waiting with my 2nd amendment rights in my lap.
