I JUST RECEIVED THIS SAME PHONE CALL! I did the same thing, and didn't even let him get to the killing him part I hung up and he called back and I didn't answer bc I talked to my actual brother and he is FINE. What sickos.
Happened to my family today. Same phone number. Same accent. Same story. We didn't fall for it but it certainly catches you off guard. CT POST and Bridgeport news has released articles on these very scams.
Yep same call to me tonight. My brother was in a car accident can I give them his name to make sure I am the right person. I asked him where he was and he refused to tell me. Said he wouldn't tell me until he knew my "oldest" brother's name. I told him to tell me what state he was in so I can make sure it was my brother. He then told me fine he'll just leave him on the floor to die. I hung up ...
