Spam Blocker - is this a thing?
We are getting incessant robo-calls from "Molly at Amazon" and it's coming through with all sorts of numbers. I was going on to check if others were and noticed that there were instructions for "Spam Blocker" on the Xfinity Voice website. It tells you to go to Voice, Settings and set your Spam blocker settings and shows a screen shot of what to do:
The problem: it doesn't seem to exist. Is this a feature that we're supposed to have?

Those phishing calls from someone claiming to be with Amazon and telling you to push a number to stop delivery on something costing hundreds is garbage.
Just hang up on them. Blocking the number will stop nothing. They will call again using a different number each time. The ID you see is fake.
The telephone companies have to stop this practice.

Changing to another company will not stop it. We are with Century Link.

"Spam Blockerⓘ
Identify and stop unwanted calls with our new spam blocker, so you only talk to the people that matter the most.
Coming soon!"
That's what Voice Settings says now.

I hope it works for you. It would need to identify the real phone number (not the faked number and ID).
Also; more than one person is using a robo-caller to deliver the same message. A different phone number.
