Even if I lived there, I wouldn’t keep my money in a Mexican bank. I’d have a local account with just enough to cover three months’ worth of living expenses, and wire more into it from abroad as required.
These people were foolish.

Why wasn’t this BOMBSHELL/EXPLOSIVE/BREAKING? Move to mexico they said. You’ll love it they said. No more shoveling snow they said. The people are honest and hard working they said.

They had to have given her signature authority over their accounts. There aren’t many people I know that I would trust with that responsibility.
Its not that far from San Miguel to Queretaro. They should have just made the trek once a month themselves. Good grief.

But the advice at the end is right. Don’t put your eggs all in one basket. Only use the well-known banks, and keep your main bundle in a US or Canadian bank.

Mexico is a foreign country, and their ethics do not necessarily parallel those in this country. Seeking redress may be a hopeless task, as “money managers” there are subject to a whole different range of regulations and pressures, not all of which are merely financial.
Swindling rich naive Yanquis is considered an art form.

Kidnapping is a real issue there. If you have a large amount of money in a local bank, beyond a few thousand, the wrong people are going to know it. If for some reason you can’t keep your main bundle in the US, at least keep it outside Mexico, or whatever third-world country you are residing in. Don’t be a target. Your private finances may not be as private as you think.
