I got minorly scammed at OXXO so just sharing so other folks can be more aware.
The evening of Friday Jan 19th I was walking back to my accomodation and passed by the OXXO at the Playa Tortugas ferry terminal. I got a bunch of things and my bill came to $490 pesos. I paid by card. The guy at the till was acting a little shifty because he was in a hurry to get me to tap my card (there was no one behind me), and when I asked for my receipt he hesitated and then shuffled a few bits of paper around and finally handed them to me. I popped the receipts in my bag and went on my way. Now, I get an alert for every charge, so when I got to my accomodation my phone connected to WiFi and the alert came through and I had been charged $690 pesos instead. So buddy skimmed his (my lol) $200 pesos. I checked my receipt and sure enough he’d given me the receipt of the previous customer so I wouldn’t catch on before I was too far away to do something about it.
Now, this is my fault as I should have looked closer at the machine before tapping, but I consider $200 pesos an acceptable price for the lesson I learnt. It’s only about $15 CAD. It could have been so much worse.
They must be making (fraudulent) bank at that location with the sheer volume of tourists who pass by there and have a lapse in attention.
So just another reminder to be careful. I consider myself lucky though that it was a nothing amount for me.
ETA - It was my last day and I didn’t wanna take any more cash out. Cash is king, yes.
