Is there a way to block all the phone numbers from a provider? Avoiding Scammers - Iristel

It is messed up that number spoofing is legal in Canada for ridiculous reasons - clearly the telecom cartel here lobbied to make this legal and extract more money from Canadians. I had some friends (yeah, plural) who received threats because someone spoofed their numbers to rob old folks, and they had to ask help from the police. With me, the spoofing was not so severe, someone missed the scammers call and called me asking why I was calling them, soon we realized what happened, and I asked them to report the case (I also did it).

I noticed that when a number is not spoofed, it is provided by the same company: Iristel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iristel After getting a bunch of spams/scams today, I decided to use one of those services to reverse search. All, not spoofed, scams calls/sms I got this year came from that same company, while none of the legit calls came from them.

I hope there is a way to block this company numbers from reaching me. If not, at least I raise awareness.
