Don’t block numbers. That does nothing to stop the scourge that is scammers and unsolicited phone calls. Similar to spam e-mails, ignoring or blocking scammers doesn’t cost the caller anything, so they have no incentive to stop.

Sign up for Jolly Roger Telephone if you’re annoyed at scammers calling you. They have robots that will get a real person on the line and waste their time. There’s a TED talk from the guy that started Jolly Roger Telephone. For $6/year, they handle the voicemail on my cell phone and waste the time of any scammer that attempts to call me. With this service, it’s fun to receive scammer calls, not a drag.

This junk is why the only app on my iPhone that doesn't have either "While Using" or "Never" set as the Location Services privacy option is Apple's own weather app, which really doesn't need that permission either, so I should probably change that as well. I typically purge apps from my phone if the only options are Always or Never. I've contacted a couple vendors who have replied, "We promise to only collect data while you're running the app", to which I reply, "then provide the -While Using- option for Location Services. This will possibly come to a head when I start using ForeFlight Mobile again, which is the defacto standard for in-flight navigation maps and only gives you the Always/Never choices. Never defeats the 99% of the benefit of that particular app.
