I've never been hit with one of those "it's me your kid I'm using a friend's phone give me money" scams.
Know that they're real though.
Dude, if they're real and there are lots of them, share an example.
Also, your analogy makes 0 sense. I'm not saying that they haven't popped up for me, I literally searched for them and found no videos or thumbnails that matched your description. If you google scams you'll find lots of examples.
