In Croatia, let's say one attempt a month. I'm calling it an attempt since I let Android block them automatically.

A spam call getting through the filter happens maybe once a year.

But they never call again after I have my fun with them :D Delisting your number in the public phonebook helps.

How do you block them automatically?

Look for something like "caller ID and spam" in the settings of your phone dialer app. I'm not sure if it's only available in newer Android versions, or only for Pixel phones.

I'm on a relatively new Xiaomi phone.

Go to your android phone app, hit settings, and their should be something in there for blocking spam calls
