That scam must be coming around again.4 or 5 years ago it was pretty heavy,then seemed to lay down for a while.I have fun with those guys.Usually the call isn't from somebody claiming to be the kid,but from somebody claiming to be in law enforcement.One said the grandson was arrested for molesting little girls,I told them that couldn't be right,he only liked to molest little boys.Another one I told was to collect the money from him,after all he is a millionaire.Another time I spent a half hour negotiating the price from $10,000 down to $3500.Then told the guy I'd changed my mind,the kid wasn't worth 35 cents.
