Crazy that even came close to happening to you since you clearly have it figured out.Can assure you from personal experience and the experience of others they don't give two fucks if you speak Spanish or it's your native language. Just makes their job easier if you don't.
If you're a gringo who speaks good Spanish it's a great opening for a scammer - gives them opportunity to draw you in with flattery, asking where you learned it, etc while cooking something up. A cold or disinterested response goes a long way, it's the exact opposite of what they want - to use your natural instinct to see good in people and be nice - throws them off balance and they lose control of the situation.
If you think they're honest they're scamming you and you probably don't even realize it. Thieves are thieves - coldhearted and lacking any empathy. Always. And often with a smile.
It sucks to have to play it this way, but a lot of times you gotta do it when traveling in lands rife with scammers.
