Here, for some amount, you can block 10 #'s; for another higher amount, up to 25, and so on.

- Allow their real number to be transmitted
- Say their name, allowing you to either accept or decline
- Go straight to voicemail
- Decline and get your very own KMA message played to them.

The KMA would be lovely. Truly.

Personally, I always prefer option #4. but the point is, they don't get in unless you let them in. And they quickly get tired of it.
If they choose to display their number, you can then block them.
(FWIW, we almost never answer the phone here unless it's a person we know. Everyone else gets voice mail and we'll call them back if they're real. )
ETA: Doesn't that Panasonic of yours have the ability to set a 'quiet time'? Mine does. We have the ringer turned off from 9PM to 9AM. It helps.

Are you guys NOT getting the spoofers? We aren't getting nasty spam calls from Blocked numbers; we are getting spoofed numbers. I honestly don't know if we can block them. (Because they just spoof another 1,000 numbers the following day).
Something must have occurred, someplace, because we are suddenly deluged with spoofy spam calls and spammy emails. All of a SUDDEN. (Looks around, giving everyone side-eye....)
