You get notifications of incoming calls from unknown numbers?

Get SpamBlocker on Android. I don't know of anything for iOS.

    On iOS toggle the “Silence Unknown Callers” option in the phone settings. You will still get the emblem showing that somebody is actively leaving a voicemail that you can tap on. So you can see what they are saying and can still answer the call while they are leaving the message.

    Pretty sure similar functionality is built-in to iOS. I turned it on for my elderly mother's phone, and it completely stopped the scammers that were constantly calling her. I think it's built-in because I don't remember installing anything.
