Same as 2 posters above. Caller ID says "Doylestown PA". Unfortunately, 215 is a local area code so I can only block the number and not the whole area code. When I answered the "guy" on the other end kept saying "Bernice" then silence, then "Are you there?". No idea who Bernice is! It's the scammers that are calling now with a bot asking for someone, then saying either "Are you there?" or "Is the man or woman of the house available". This scam had recently been on the news here. They want you to say "yes". That way they have you recorded saying "yes" and agreeing to something. They will then try to take funds from your bank or cc accounts and they have you agreeing to it via recording. They are getting pretty good at this. Just block the number or area code if the area code is not local to you (or you don't know anyone there). They will keep trying. They are smart enough now to use local area codes since so many phones now allow you to block not just numbers but whole area codes. WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T SAY "YES"!
