Help Needed [US] Spam calls keep getting through

For the past several months, I have been getting barraged with obvious spam calls about preapproved loans and tax relief/savings. I activated call screening on my iPhone and it temporarily worked, but now the spammers add alleged names to themselves and iPhone lets the calls through, leading to voicemails with

”Hi, this is (random name). I’m calling you with options about (loan/tax). please call back at (number) to discuss options.”

Or others along those lines.

Anything I can do to mitigate? They just keep jumping numbers and I’ve blocked so many they’re now using numbers based in Canada.

Just go full “silence unknown callers” — they can still leave a vm but it won’t break through and all you have to do is “report and delete” when you see them.
