Avoid being assaulted in Mexico City’s airport

Warning!
Because the economic crisis plus the failure of the justice in Mexico
We want to warn all tourists and business visitors to avoid exchanging dollars or Euros at the airport as much as possible.
Why? There are connections between the exchange booths and the Mexican mafia.
This is how it works: You arrive in Mexico City airport and of course you need some local currency. The moment you exchange it (for example a thousand dollars, equivalent to about 15,000 pesos), the cashier gets in touch with the thieves, giving them a description of you and how much money you exchanged (so they can get their commission) then the thieves know all this data to assault you. This just happened to a French tourist who was assaulted and murdered recently, after he exchanged some money.
Recommendations:

1: Never exchange more than 200 hundred dollars at the same booth
2: Avoid carrying cash with you
3: Pay with credit card Visa, MC, or American express
4: Use all inclusive hotels
5: Renting a car is safer than using a taxi cab

In case of assault:

“Dos”
Give all the money and belongings you have with you
Cooperate with the thieves
Agree to whatever they want
Close your eyes and raise your hands

“Don’ts”
Get violent
Try to fight back
Try to look at the eyes of the thieves
Try to yell for help
Follow them after the assault
Try to resist

After the assault:

1: Get in touch with your embassy
2: Call or go to the police station
3: Call your family or friends

Never expect:

To see your money back
To see the thieves behind the bars.

The actions of the Mexican President Calderon are just the beginning of a change that will take decades to change the corruption and the “bribe mentality” that exists in Mexico.

The United States has to cooperate with Mexico because America is the biggest consumer of drugs in the world and, because of the unemployment rate in Mexico, the easiest way to make money is to be a thief, kidnapper, or a drug dealer.
