      Never experienced these outrageous fees in Mexico. Sure they have a plethora of Mexican banks (BBVA, Santander, Banamex, Scotia, HSBC) all around where you can safely withdrawal money for a small ($2-4) fee. This guy is probably talking about a private stand alone ATM in the corner of a lobby. Who even uses those in the US? Why would you use one in Mexico?

    The Living God loves us all so very much that He sent His sinless Son Jesus, to earth, to be born of a virgin, to grow up & die on the Cross for our sins. After He died on the cross for our sins, Father God raised Him to life again, & he appeared to people and went back to heaven.We must receive Jesus into our life sincerely to be His child(John 1:12) & after we get saved by grace through faith, we need to obey Jesus if we really love Him(John 14:15). Jesus said in Mark 1:15 says "And saying, the time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of God is at hand, repent and believe the Gospel." John 14:15 Jesus said: "If ye love Me keep My commandments." Revelation 21:8 says: "But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, there part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone..." Please receive Holy Jesus-- sincerely and repent, before it's too late. :)
