Couple out $300 in fake ransom scheme

The phone call left them skeptical. The Louisiana couple was told that their grandson, who lives in Arlington, Texas with his family, was being held for ransom in another country over an unpaid debt. Pay up, the couple was told, or their grandson would be killed. But the kidnappers seemed to know a lot about their grandson. And when the couple couldn't reach him for hours, they wired the money. Later, they learned it was all a scam.

$300, is that all? Not worth much.
