AFAIK you can't block calls from abroad, and there are few instances where Caller ID is transported with international calls - so I would think that that the person who said you can't block these calls is correct.

The other thing is that even if you change your number you will still be likely to get those type of calls, as they operate on a random dialling method rather than using lists of names and/or numbers.
