My grandmother got hit with one of these and lost $800. She claimed the person sounded exactly like me. My grandpa then got hit by the same scammer trying to double dip, but he was savvy enough to record the call. My grandma recognized the voice saying "Oh, listen! It sounds just like you!"

And it was a gruff, scratchy voice that had a Southeast Asian accent (I do not sound like that)
