Got the below in an email...fwiw
"Warning - scam in Rocky Point.
Beware of a white taxi that has at least 10 dents on the passenger side of the cab. By the end of this story you will know why. I look my car to be washed and when I picked it up I stopped at OXXO to get an ice cream. I came out and there was no one behind my car - except the street ! As I started the car the fellow next to me waved and pointed to the street. A taxi had pulled up behind me and was blocking me. Yes I have Arizona plates. He jumped out of his taxi yelling that I had hit his car and blocked me so I could not get out. He wanted money. I said no but I will call the police. They came !!!! I was there for 2 hours. Since I had the car washed I had taken all the paperwork out of the glove box and it was at home. Two police showed up - the woman was very nice and kept telling me to be quiet
) Since I have a (low) tow package on my car it was not possible that my car had done any of the damage on his very badly dented car and the police lined the cars up to show him that it was not possible and also that he was illegally parked blocking me. Since my car had just been washed you could see that there was not a mark on it. I suspect that many people have fallen for this bandito and given him money but if this happens to you please call the police. They seemed very aware what this character was doing. He will be giving taxi drivers a bad name so watch for this taxi with many dents on the passenger side and do call the police if this happens to you. He looks for USA plates. Finally she told me to go home and I never had to sign anything. Police were great !!!"
