These TV shows are very educational about this, especially the Real Hustle, which was a documentary demonstrating how to avoid scams in real life situations. I'm sure you can find them on some streaming service as repeats.

Sounds like the plot of the "Ties That Bind Us" episode of the BBC show Hustle from 2006
There was a UK TV show (The Real Hustle) which demonstrated Passport skimming at in one episode. They had a scanner in the bag and just hung around and airport bumping into people till they got lucky.
Scary stuff.
