A middle-aged Asian woman approached my dad very sneakily put a red bracelet on his wrist and asked for a donation. Was my dad conned?

She also gave him a shiny card that says 'Work Smoothly Lifetime Peace.' My dad gave her 5 dollars in petty cash that she put in her fanny pack. At first he thought she was blind because she wasn't giving any eye-contact, but then he could tell she saw the other coins in his wallet and put her hand out wanting more. He told her 'no more' and she walked away. I think this woman was a scam artist and should be reported to the police, but my dad doesn't care. This woman did not have a shaved head nor was she wearing an orange monk's robe. Have you ever been approached by someone like this.
