Common tourist traps

  1. Unlicensed taxis

    How it works: Unlicensed taxi drivers have robbed and assaulted passengers, including in Mexico City.

    How to avoid it: Use regulated 'sitio' taxis from authorised ranks or ask your hotel to order one. At airports, use only authorised pre-paid airport taxis.

  2. Express kidnapping at ATMs

    How it works: Short opportunistic kidnappings happen mainly in cities: victims are forced to withdraw cash from an ATM before they are released.

    How to avoid it: Stay alert, avoid higher-risk areas and don't travel at night in them.

  3. Virtual-kidnapping phone calls

    How it works: Callers claim a relative or colleague is being held and demand money.

    How to avoid it: Hang up, then check on the person directly.
