Canadian Couple Loses $280K in Mexico Condo Scam | Winnipeg News

A Canadian couple lost $280,000 in retirement savings after falling for a condo-flip scam in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. After filing a criminal complaint that stalled until Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum intervened, the case is now being led by the state prosecutor in Quintana Roo. The couple met British co-conspirator Harry Robinson and Mexican co-owner Jacqueline Herrera Herrera, who promised big returns but delivered nothing—no keys, no condos, and vanished funds. Robinson later pushed for a bigger investment, which also collapsed, and now blames Herrera. Both Robinson and the couple are pursuing legal action against Herrera, exposing a growing crisis of real estate fraud in Mexico as authorities scramble to protect investors.
