Deleting Blocked Contacts:

A. All is Lost After Deletion:

If deleted, then will no longer be blocked. So, let it be, if you have many.

B. Keep a Recode, if your Want to Delete:

If you want to delete the list, then, prior to doing so, take a screenshot of your iPhone, as you scroll down, to keep a record of what is in there.

Once you delete the block list then all contents of that list are obivously deleted. This means that the iPhone has no active list of blocked contacts to refer to when receiving a call. Those previously unwanted calls, therefore, will no longer be blocked.

"Thank you, both of you! Will just let it be but the list is getting longer and longer due to scam calls that I do not accept, but rather block!"

You are welcome.

Troubleshooting Scammers:

Along with my previous reply...

Blocking Out Spammers:

A. Use Malwarebytes Mobile Security.

The free version of Malwarebytes Mobile Security blocks popups. The paid version blocks out known spam numbers. So, consider using it. Read the following post to see how to use this software: Blocked numbers - Apple Community

B. Notes and Reference Sites on Phishing:

• Phishing & Other Suspicious Emails
• Avoid Phishing eMails, Fake 'virus' Alerts, Phony Support Calls, and Other Scams
• Identify Legitimate eMails from the App Store or iTunes Store

You are welcome.
