Scam

Has anyone else seen a scam at haymarket of a drunk(in this case Irish) girl looking for some help having lost bag etc? No taxi would take her, and she was walking in the road. Got quite confused when I pointed out she had an iWatch and the calls she suggested we make were refused. When I suggest I call a number on my phone, and my sister suggested it was a scam she then made a run for it into the nearby corner shop.
