I can't believe your brother would trust a stranger over the internet with such confidential information! I'm not sure if a regular Joe could do anything with the account number however I'm sure there are people out there with bad intentions and the ability to make your brother's financial situation a bad one!

has your brother never heard of identity fraud ? anyone knowing your bank account details could use it for fraud and your brother could find himself in a lot of financial difficulties
