Beware of fake tourist visa renewals

Beware of fake tourist visa renewals, you can only get a new tourist visa at an immigration office after turning in paperwork (and waiting 2-4 hours). Many report "friends" getting them for a fee of thousands of pesos, don't risk it with fake documents. Current program ended today for re-issuance of tourist visas but we hope to see it return shortly. Here is a redacted image of the real deal we got for a client today.

How "many" report being as stupid as that?

Actually many. Probably same people that nationalize their cars when it seems too good to be true then find out they have fake papers. Many attorneys were giving out fake FMM papers which they may have obtained from someone at immigration but filling out a form and stamping it isnt all, it needs to be registered in their system and down this far south you fly in so there must be a record of payment by the airline and you should show up on the flight manifest besides being in their system.
