iPhone rings out loud on silent. Spam callers NOT even in my contact list

My iPhone with updated iOS will ring out loud when silenced. These calls are unsolicited and NOT ANYWHERE in my contacts.

Also- I am not given the option to block the number or even refuse or send the call to voicemail while it is ringing.

(the latter has been going on for awhile- but the calls overriding silenced is new)

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 15
