Was I Scammed?

Recently I was walking aroudn Sydney at somewhere between 10-1 AM I lost track of time, most likely 11PMish. I think I was in some place called kings cross which I read in a Lonely Planet is supposed to be a kind of shady place but it didn't seem like it.

Then a woman stopped me, almost passed me by and then amivalently at first but losing that ambivalence quickly stopped me and touched my arm a little bit. She was somewhere between 27-37 I'd say, with decent clothes and make up, okay looking. She kind of cried intermittenly and said people were being mean to her, and a cop was mean to her. She said her car broke down and she wasn't from around here and she needed $19 to get gas and said anything would help.

I decided to give her a few dollars for various vague reasons and then she said she'd pay me back, and so if she's going to pay me back I figued I better make it more than just a few dollars so I ended up giving her $9 or so and then she said, - Maybe another $10 or just $5 i really don't want to have to ask anyone else for money - I said no.

Then she asked for my email so she could pay me back. I just wanted to give her my address cause I didn't want to have to exchange emails and then meet up with her somewhere I just wanted her to drop the money off. At first she said my address is personal but I insisted (mistake?). Then she cried a bit and thanked me, and as she was walking away turned around to thank me a couple more times. Results to follow.
