Messages app > Blocking & Filtering

My Mac and iPhone continue to receive Messages that are blocked. I know this because when I attempt to block one, it shows that it is already blocked. How do I fix this?

Also the Mac and iPhone continue to receive Messages from numbers that are not in my Contacts, even though I have had the option to filter them set from the start. How do I fix this?

The Phone is set to Silence incoming calls that are not in Contacts and that works great.
