Consider enabling screening in GV settings https://voice.google.com/u/0/settings .
I use GV and call-screening. Much less spam. Callers hate it, but it's kinda like a verbal captcha.
Oh and my cell phone area code is different than the local area code - so I ignore all calls from my (xxx) - xxx range regardless.
My family/friends have my direct#.
BTW, you can go into 'Legacy GV' interface and into Groups to whitelist contact groups (e.g. 'All Contacts') who will get straight to you without this screening.
Thanks - this is excellent.

I NEVER use my GV number... I just don't know how they get my number to begin with....
But the numbers that are super spam are all the ones with ~4 second VM.
I keep hearing from this weird New Jersey Jewish Accent where he tells me "I am under attack for someone who is causing my pain and attempting to steal money from me and if I pray and send him money he will take care of this attack against me"
This spam call is really good at avoiding number blocking - and I get ~2 calls per month from this recording... (The accent is like if Mel Blanc attempted to do an over-the-top Jewish accent... its really over the top. I recommend everyone listen to it and picture "The Producers" with Mel Blanc singing it...
I actually listen to it every few months or so because how comical the message is.
