Blocking incoming calls using caller ID name

I have a persistent business spammer that always uses the same caller ID name when their call is incoming, but always uses a different phone number. As a result, it is impossible to block their calls. They literally use a different phone number each and every time.

My number is registered with National Do Not Call Registry

I have reported their calls dozens of times both at the NDNCR website and the FTC website

I report each call with T Life app (T Mobile is carrier)

None of that stops the calls. They persistently call at least 2-3 times a week and have done so for months. I have never done business with this company and never heard of them before this started.

All I would need is the capability of blocking incoming calls based on their caller ID name, but that is not possible so far as I am able to determine.

Does anyone know of a reputable app that might perform that function, or any other solution that might work to stop my phone from receiving their calls?

Thank you.

The nuclear option would be enabling DND with an exception for your saved contacts.  On a less drastic approach, I use Youmail instead of the phone or carrier voicemail. This app seems a bit more aggressive in sending potential spam calls to VM with customizable options for the outgoing messages they'll receive.

So I've reached out to T Mobile and it looks like they are going to be able to (or at least try to) block all incoming calls from this spammer based on caller ID name. I'll see if that is the fix but they are saying they can do that on their end.

 

Thanks to @meself and @ requa for your great advice.
