Definitions help here, I think. STIR attestation will stop many (maybe most) scam calls (think, fake Microsoft support or fake Amazon sales), but it might not do much for spam (think, that annoying salesperson from that one company you gave your phone number to in order to get a free tesco sandwich voucher). Nevertheless, you seemed to have accomplished more than the carriers, so nice job.
One suggestion, simplify the settings. Maybe have 3-4 default presets to choose from, then an advanced custom option. As is, this is too complex for most users.
This isn't self promotion. I've been searching for an app to block these numbers for about a year... Some limited success. AI powered whatever. Subscription fees. Duck that... So I tried some various f-droid stuff and this one finally works almost exactly perfectly.
You seem to not be cognizant that legitimate companies actually have block lists and respect them because you can report them and they will be fined.
The scammers use virtual numbers that are virtually untraceable and there is no fine there is no penalty they are scammers they are exploiters they are criminals these are not legitimate businesses. They should be put to death. Amen.
