Christy and Paul Akeo, a Michigan couple, were arrested in Cancun following allegations of credit card fraud against the Palace Company. They were accused of disputing approximately $117,000 in legitimate charges related to their timeshare membership while publicly promoting similar actions to others. The couple claims their arrest is retaliation for challenging charges made on their American Express credit card. Mexican authorities maintain that the couple violated their contract and misled others on social media about their alleged fraudulent activities, leading to their ongoing detention without bond in a maximum-security prison in Mexico.
Paul and Christy Akeo fraudulently disputed legitimate credit card charges and publicly encouraged others to do the same, according to a Palace Company spokesperson.
Christy went against her contract with the resort and spread the word on Facebook about how they committed fraud against the hotel chain.
