Most of my spam calls USED TO come from specific OUTSIDE area codes and

obviously blocking my own area code won't fly. And blocking individual
numbers as they come in is pretty useless since they continuously change
numbers.

I've found that most of the spam callers are spoofing their phone number
to be not only from the same area code but the same exchange as ours.
So if we get a call from the local exchange and it's a number that we do
not otherwise recognize we just let the answering machine pick it up.
(Unless I have time to have a little fun with the scammers.)
