“Be Mindful of Extra Requests for Money”
Despite having paid on booking.com and there being no mention anywhere of a security deposit, we were contacted on WhatsApp by another person who told us that we had to pay $100US cash or $200,000MX security deposit before we could have access to the property which they said was refundable. All the warnings on the booking.com app told us not to pay any further amounts if requested or on another platform. The WhatsApp guy was sending pictures saying that it was in their policy but there was absolutely nothing mentioned on the booking.com app about it. We have requested a full refund and are waiting.
