I got a call from that number today and I have Call Control turned on. First time it was dead air. Second time there was someone who said they were marketing security systems or something. I was driving at the time and I answered it on my watch so I couldn't really hear what he was saying. I told him I wasn't interested.
I read somewhere that certain TELUS numbers bypass Call Control. I'm not sure how Call Control works exactly but if someone spoofs the TELUS number I think it would also bypass Call Control. If so that's a big problem.

I receive numerous scam calls spoofing 1-888-811-2323, but I could not block that number on Call Control because you need to enter a valid name and there's no name associated with that number on the call log. How did you do it?

You don't manually enter it. Go look at the call log and then look for the Block button below the caller you want to block.
