My late father-in-law's friend got a similar call. He went to Western Union/Wal-Mart to send the cash, if it weren't for the manager of the Wal-Mart store talking him out of it he would have sent the money. My father-in-law's friend argued with the manager "I know it's my grandson." The manger told him to call the grandson's mother, when he did he discovered his grandson was not in Canada under arrest as the scammer on the phone told him but he was at his part-time job at a pizza restaurant.
Yup, people do fall for this stuff.
