Los Cabos authorities are warning travelers about fraudulent websites and social media accounts targeting people booking trips to the popular Mexican destination. More than 20 reports of scams have been filed this year, involving fake passports, travel bookings, electronic equipment, and hotel reservations.

While formal complaints are relatively low, officials receive anonymous tips and complaints leading to the suspension or closure of fraudulent accounts. However, taking legal action requires filing a formal complaint, which many visitors are reluctant to do, especially if their stay is short.

If you encounter a scam or have a complaint, you should report it to the authorities to issue an alert and help others avoid the same mistakes. To prevent falling victim to scams, officials advise conducting thorough research, checking online reviews and reputations, reviewing privacy policies and terms, comparing prices, and leaving reviews to warn others.

Although Los Cabos is considered one of Mexico’s safest destinations, ongoing scams continue to pose a problem. Online fraud involving fake vacation rentals and tour operators has been prevalent. Visitors are encouraged to use official booking sites and channels and consider using credit cards for added protection.
