They're not buying up numbers, they're spoofing them. The call isn't actually from that number.
You're right about Telus Call Control, I'm with Koodo and it has the same thing. It's fantastic and can't recommend it enough. It's better than just blocking numbers because this way they can't leave a voicemail either. I'm surprised Bell doesn't have something similar, maybe they do. Haven't had a spam call all year and it's glorious, like you I was getting close to a dozen a day.
