Be aware of Scams by Street Prostitutes 1 year ago Save Hey guys, I just had my Bachelor Party in Cancun at the Riu Palace, it was a great resort and we had an awesome time and everyone in Cancun was friendly for the most part.
Having said that, me and my buddy did encounter a very bad experience in the streets of Cancun. We left the nightclub district, more specifically the Coco Bongo at AM and got split into small groups and decided to walk home since the Riu Palace is only a 10 min walk from Coco Bongo. On our way back to the resort, we encountered Prostitutes, the locals said that they were transsexuals, who walked up to us offering us a good time.
We declined and kept walking until a group of 5 prostitutes came at us all at ONCE and swamped us. One of them grabbed our private part really hard while the others put their hands in our pockets we did not realize this part right away. But both of our phones went missing. We did not realize this until we walked meters past this group of prostitutes and when we did and turned around, we saw them getting into a getaway car and driving away.
A police car literally stopped by 30 seconds after this happened and when we told them what happened, they were very unhelpful and told us that there are a lot of transsexual prostitutes doing this and it would be too hard for them to find them. The next day, I spoke to some of the hotel staff and they mentioned that this is a known scam and that even they were victims of this before.
They even said that the Police are in on this scam as well and that is why they would not help us 30 seconds after the car drove off. I have read a lot of reviews before going to Cancun and this is something I did not see, so I am just warning you guys to be careful.
