Quintana Roo Warns of Fake Mujer es Poder Meeting Notice

Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo — The head of Quintana Roo’s Women’s Secretariat, Esther Burgos, has denied the validity of a notice circulating on social media and messaging apps that calls beneficiaries of the Mujer es Poder program to a meeting on Friday, August 28, at an address on Avenida Constituyentes in Playa del Carmen, allegedly to update their files.

Burgos said the state is not currently running any campaign to update or correct documents linked to the program, and that the appointment being shared has no official validity.

“There is no documentation update process at this time,” she said.

The message has been circulating mainly in private Facebook groups called “Mujeres Poder 2026” and “Mujeres Poder.” The secretariat said these groups are not administered by the state government and are not part of its official platforms.

Given the potential risk that the scheme could be used to obtain beneficiaries’ personal information, SEMUJERES advised women not to share identification cards, receipts, phone numbers, personal data, or any other documents with the people behind the notice.

Authorities have not officially confirmed that the notice amounts to fraud, but the secretariat said it is already trying to identify who spread the message to make clear that no meeting is scheduled for August 28.
