There was a rash of this a while back, I want to say 2003 or so, and a lot of the players involved were Dominican; such as Deivi Cruz who at the time was believed to be 26 years, turned out to be closer to 30. This was also about the same time that little league team had a 16 year old playing for them.
On the other end of the spectrum Adrian Beltre lied about his age
(apparently he was only 16 when he signed, which is a year too young) negating his original contract with the Dodgers and effectively making him an unrestricted free agent early in his life. Beltre got a huge payday, and never had any consequences; I'm surprised more players didn't try this.
