🇲🇽 Border + customs scams in Mexico
2 documented patterns
Mexico City Benito Juárez airport timeshare presentation
Officials-looking representatives offer 'free' upgrades / drinks for a 90-minute timeshare presentation. The presentation is high-pressure and 4-6 hours long. Decline politely and walk to the official taxi window.
Cancún beach 'free' jet-ski hand-out
Resort vendor offers 'free 15 min' jet-ski then claims damage (see Thailand pattern). Identical playbook to Phuket. Decline.
