Theres a scam like this in Russia

Someone will "drop" a wallet. They will then watch to see if a tourist picks it up. As soon as they do they walk up to person ask for the wallet back go through the wallet and then guess a number which the person has on them. Lets say 500 rubles. And they will charge the guy with stealing their money when in fact it nver had 500 rubles they get the cops, cops side with the crooks. Cops get a cut.
