I received a call from 347-754-4545 a NY, USA number, the phone rang twice and hung up.

My daughter received a call from this number today.  Stated that her brother had a car accident and wrecked a new BMW.  (Her brother is 13 yo).  They gave my brother's name. (Phone is listed in my name.)  She hung up.
What scam is this?

he called and said that he had kidnapped my brother and that if I sent him 2000.00 dollars, he would release him. Domestic terrorism. The strange thing about it was that I called back later that night and he answered not knowing who I was. I keep telling people, "Leave that crack alone."
