Been conned? Tell me how.

I'll go first. It was my first week in the big city. I had gone to visit my aunt and had spent a week at her house. When I was heading back home, she got a cousin of mine to meet me in the city so that I could board a bus home. Got into a bus to head to the bus station from her house safely. When I alighted, I must have looked out of place. Some lady approached me askign for directions. Me, in my infinite stupidity also told her I was new here. She suggested we ask some unassuming guy next to us. He looked irritated but agreed to take us to our respective locations. Mind you this lady suggested the building she was headed to was also near the bus station.
Off we walk, in town following the guy's lead. Then this lady claims she is Jehovah Witness. She has prayed for people to chase demons away! I grow suspicious but I don't say anything. She tells the guy she thinks he is struggling with some issues and would love to pray for him. He agrees. The condition for the prayer was he walks ahead of us, praying and leaves us with all his possessions. Everything. He does. She prays for him and returns his things.
Then ladies and gentlemen, my turn arrives! My turn to leave all the things I am carrying with them and walk forward praying! Despite the panic, I do it. Every nerve in my body was on edge but I still did it.
You can guess what happened. After a few steps, I turn back and of course, there was no one there. It was just me, in a big city, with no phone, no money and no idea where the hell I was. I found my way to the police station and have never told anyone what actually happened. Lied they snatched my bag and run.
That was the most stupid I have ever felt my whole life.
