Generally you should always contact people by phone for any such "Help Me!" online contact scam. Or at least contact their family to make sure they're actually out of town or in prison.
My parent's neighbors got a call that claimed to be one of their grandchildren in prison. I don't know why the call wasn't to their parents of course, but the money was almost sent. It wouldn't hurt to warn your grandparents to trust no one online and verify with other parties.
