Google the number and you can probably find other complaints and possibly who it is. Not that it will matter, there's nothing you can do but block it.
My approach to call filtering is: Deny All Allow Some I have a whitelist of callers I always want to accept that may include businesses outside my local area code. If my dialplan doesn't recognize the incoming number I send them to a voicemail mail where they have to press "5" to leave a message. That knocks out the robo dialers. Then I google the number and if it's a spammer, I add them to a blacklist where the call is dropped immediately. Really no point in playing funny or cute messages to them or even telling them they are blacklisted because it's usually an auto-dialer and a real person doesn't hear it anyway.
