Do You Know this Scam?

We are walking along the left bank of the Seine (heading for the Tour Eiffel), west of the Pont des Invalides, and a young girl wanders up to us with a ring in her hand. She has supposedly just found it on the ground in front of us. We are heading for the Pont d'Alma (read - dead Diana).
She says she found it on the ground, and it turns out it might fit me. We chatter away a bit. We decide to keep walking away. But we wonder, what were the next steps had we stopped and listened? Has anyone been through this? The ring story could have become a Princess Di one, or just a goofy one. Does anyone know?
