Possible Scam at MK Station?

This happened not even a minute ago, I was walking to the gym group by the station when I was stopped by a woman in one of those electric disability scooter things.

She asked if I can help her with a taxi home and that she needed £20 for it home and no one else including family could help her.She was crying and I felt bad and started to call for a taxi for her.

But when I tried to call her a taxi she kept asking if the money could be transferred to her bank instead? The whole conversation was about 10mins back and forth trying to say I’m not transferring it I’ll just pay for it. Eventually she refused to take the taxi if I didn’t transfer the money.

I know it’s an obvious scam now (might be wrong tbh but very confident) just wondering if anyone else has seen this because I’ve been in Milton Keynes for years and never seen this.

Just wanted to know if anyone is in the same situation as me or have any suggestions.

I currently daily a Jelly Star and it’s been perfect as a dumb phone and does everything I need, except for the camera.

I was wondering if there is anyone else who uses a dumb phone and keeps a compact digital camera on them which takes similar or even better photos than something like an iPhone.

For some context my own personal preference would be something similar to a Sony cyber shot in terms of how compact it is but definitely open to suggestions.
