Unwanted spoof calls how to stop?

Before I take this to OFCOM, can Smarty stop cold callers from calling my number please?

Pretty sure I have the same people spoofing their outbound numbers because I'm getting 5 to 10 calls per day with the same prefix 07974. I've had enough.

    Have you registered with the Telephone Preference Service?

    https://www.tpsonline.org.uk this may work for straightforward unsolicited cold calls from bona fide firms.

    If they are not simply genuine companies calling, but are scammers, I'm not really sure how they can do that because these people have software that makes their calls appear to come from different numbers.

    You can block a number if it is a cold call, but then they may use a different one.
