We all know for this kind of scam and we know that does exist.
But your post is very strange post, inconsistent to the point I doubt it.
Because, at first, you said: Says she's 17 and I assume it's just assume she's a bot and want to joke with it so I send a shirtless pic. Because, what's funnier than sending a scammer a shirtless pic?
After, you wrote: I was freaked out to the point where I was crying.
What is right?
Were you scared, or you were joking with them?
And then, second part of post is entirely repetition of first part?
Was just mistake or it has some meaning?
All in all, something's not right in your story.
Come back with more plausible story, or rewrite this one and explain better.
Claiming I was sexting a minor and trying to extort $300 via Green dot. Fairly common Sextortion scam. Followed all the steps. Random number claiming we meet. Sends me pictures. Says she's 17 and I assume it's just assume she's a bot and want to joke with it so I send a shirtless pic. Because, what's funnier than sending a scammer a shirtless pic? Her "Grandfather" calls saying he is the only one between me and jail. His "wife" (who I never heard from) says they should press charges. He hands phone to fake cop saying un a thretening voice that I'm going to jail and that this mans the only reason I'm not lock up. He hands the phone back to the "Grandfather", who eventually says he talked to his wife and they want an apology and $300 something dollars via Greendot card. I was freaked out to the point where I was crying. But realized something was off. His grammar was bad, his number was a SC number, there's was no proof of his "grandaughter", he didn't want me to tell my bank, and he got real angry when I started asking questions. He eventually said that he's going to take me to court and such... I'm fairly positive that the sextortion scam has gotten more evolved. They now try to use more presice increments of cash, a person acting as a cop (though, the saying they have a detective stayed the same as other stories) his number was a SC number, there's was no proof of his "grandaughter", he didn't want me to tell my bank, and he got real angry when I started asking questions.

You sound a lot like a Shill to me. Your story does not add up. If you suspected The Underage Girl Scam, which is what this is without a doubt, you were an idiot to send even a shirtless photo.
You claim to know this is a scam, then walk right into it. The second part of your post is both a debate with yourself and then a lecture about the SCAM you fell for. This does not make sense to me. If you are legit and sent a photo, looks like you have created a truckload of trouble for yourself and will have to do some 'splainin' to someone.
And as we know, if something don't make sense, it is apt to be:
- A lie.
- Made lies.
- Trolling and/or Shilling.
