Guest guest Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I was illegally detained in Mexico after an accident in a rental Car that was supposedly insured... it was not. No charges were brought against the Car Rental Company, nor were they asked to pay any money. I was held for $6000.00 and not released until the Cash was sent. No ticket was issued to me and no charges were made against me. They threatened continually to throw me in a Mexican jail... Then, I was then asked not to give any bad publicity to Mexico or not to tell my fans not to go to Mexico ...I am telling you...Don't go to Mexico! I have a broken wrist and neck and back injuries. On their behalf I will say that I was treated very well, probably better than other tourists, I had 24 hour guards sent in from Merida, a Man and a woman and they always were good to me. A doctor was present, and I had the use of the phone always, Cafe Lattes, water and sodas, whenever I wanted, they begged me to eat, brought in food for me, but I refused. I was being still I was held for a ransom, and money was extorted from me. I was pressured by the mexican officials and the Us Consulate Jeff Adler just to pay them . The price kept going up and up. Even though my own insurance was sending adjusters to Mexico. The Irony is that they all asked me to come back, saying... " oh you probably won't come back will you? " ...I have at least 25-30 addresses and emails! Write to your Governments, to the US Consulate in Merida, Mexico, the US Government in Washington to put more pressure on Mexico to treat tourists better. Get the word out to put pressure on Mexico!
