How would Sky differentiate between a scammer and a genuine call? They offer the Sky Talk Shield, as @Highlinder posted, which is a free tool which can intercept them.

Scammers will use cloned numbers no Telecoms just allows it, they will always get through, Sky have provided Talk Shield that you can use to block numbers.
I'm not sure how any Telecoms could possibvle block scammers unless all calls are stopped.

Using STIR/SHAKEN would be a start, but that would have to be globally adopted by the telecoms industry.
