The Distressed Woman with a Factory Reset iPhone

Felt like a setup the second things kicked off. I get out of an Uber in front of my motel on South Beach (alone on Ocean Drive, 2am, male). As I make my way back to Ocean Drive to go into the front of my motel, there is a woman walking toward me in the near distance (we’re the only two people on the street right now). As we close distance, she is emotionally distraught and messing with her phone. I think she's drunk or on drugs because she is crying and seems very agitated. She shows me her phone and it is an iPhone that has been factory reset and she says she can’t get back into it. Mind you, the first thing I did when this woman approached me was look around because I thought I was going to get robbed, but fortunately nobody jumped out. After about a minute of her inconsolable crying she asks to call an Uber. I ask if she can call someone and she gives me a number which we call from my phone, and no answer (big surprise). She then struggles with her phone more and just says call me an Uber and I’ll pay you back. I ask her where she’s going and why doesn’t she have somebody pick her up. Same excuses, but the address she gave is about a mile and she asks me if I would walk her. At this point there is a random white guy on a bike smoking a cigarette. She walks by him and asks for one and he gives her a cigarette and he looks at me and asks: is everything ok and I say No. She starts walking away and he rides his bike in the other direction. As she walks away I just say I’m not walking you to that address and she’s like “ok”. I saw the setup and all the warning signs, but what was the ask…? And if the lure was to get me to follow, why give up so easily. Honestly I thought she was a prostitute and she was going to seduce me and steal a kidney. I’m assuming the white guy was in on it, and my Uber driver was Eastern European or Russian so I’m guessing maybe he set me up, because the last thing he said when dropping me off was “have a good time” with a weird wink wink tone, like he thought I was going for a late night hookup. I think I was marked as a tourist, I was baited, but they didn’t close. Can’t figure out why they quit the pursuit, and what the scam was. I think maybe to get my phone paired with hers… because she couldn’t get hers setup?
