No one got killed.
And the message was a lie anyway, we never got anything like WW1 or WW2 from any banking institution.

You're talking about 2 different things. A cellphone, you actually call
someone specific. A CB set, you are transmitting into the unknown, hoping
someone will answer and be of help. That would usually mean that
A) someone would have to be listening, B) one of them would be willing to
help and C) they'd actually call a company to come and tow you. If tow
truck companies ever listened to CB in hopes of getting customers, it
would have been a fairly random thing and not likely everywhere. CB is
pretty invisible now, the big hype of the old days is gone, it's no longer
a common social thing and of course whatever value it might once have
offered (which was even less than the illusion) is long gone since people
have moved elsewhere. A lot more people use personal radios than ever
before in history, but they use them in a form that they don't even
recognize as radio, they use cellphones. Even a lot of things that
once used radio, such as our local Fringe Festival, in a lot of cases
cellphones work better and of course have advantages. So there is a lot
less chance than decades ago that someone would be listening, and that
someone would be willing to help.
If you still want CB, it should be a lot less expensive. Fifty dollars
is more likely, assuming you can find one. Or buy used, since likely
there are lots of people who had them and no longer use them.
