I have the exactly the same problem. They stole 30K over a 6 month period and it took me 3 months to get my balance which they delayed until the June 1 so they got their 5000. I am more than ready to join in on this claim.

I am in the same situation. Lost 30K USD in 5 months due to the banks delaying tactics. Finally closed the account on exactly JUNE 1 for another 5000 USD fee.
I have contacted FMFC and wait to hear from them, if at all.
Let me know what we can do.

There is no way the bank will allow anyone to speak to management. My personal manager left the bank & they never informed me or gave me a new one. I lost over 30K USD in 6 months.
I cannot find your website only a facebook page.
I lost 39K USD to this Rietumu fraud and want to join all groups that are trying to retrieve their funds. Please let me know how to contact you.
thanks,

Hi all,
OK lets get this Rietumu scam straight. From what I have read on this site there is no standard system to this bank. On Nov 2017 I was told all the same story as most of you. Frozen account etc. On Jan 2018 they initiated a 5000 USD fee and decided to change all USD to Euros at my cost. I lost 30K USD due to their delaying tactics while trying to open a new bank account. They would only send my funds to an account under the same name & registration number. What a bad joke.
So far I have received no︀ answers to my posts on this site?

I know several people who did eventually get their funds out of Rietumu over the last couple of months. You need an account in the same company name in an EU - OECD country, and you need to make sure your company is up to date with apostilled documents. I suggest not to sign any deals but just push them to close the account, keep reminding them that you are fully compliant and that you have complied with everything they asked for and do not accept their fees. Eventually it works. They will go for the easier targets, like people who tried to cut corners︀ with their offshore structures.
My IBC was fully always compliant and up to date. as of Feb 2014. I never signed any paperwork nor was I given any deals by them. Rietumu used the possible money laundering scam to freeze my account and had to give me no explanation as to why. They refused to discuss it in any way. I then had to find another bank account with the same registration number as my IBC. between the various countries I tried and Rietumu bank delaying tactics it took 6 months to complete. Many of the offshore countries refused to accept funds from Latvia and wanted too much time︀ to set up the account. I finally got one in Mauritius, Afasia Bank, and transferred︁ my money. During this time period Rietumu initiated a 5000 USD fee a month from︂ Jan 1 2018, fired my personnel manager and did not give me a new one,︃ changed my USD account to Euros and charged me for it and never notified me︄ of any of these new changes. ALL my telephone calls were only accepted by a︅ operator who knew nothing of the banks procedures and would not allow me to speak︆ to ANY management personnel at any time. They gave me every imaginable excuse to delay︇ me such as more useless paperwork, unreal processing time and just not giving me any︈ acceptable answers. My final transfer stared on May 18 2018 and they keep delaying it︉ until exactly June 1 2018 so they could charge me another 5000 UDS. total loss︊ 30K USD. I just can't stand by & let them get way with this criminal︋ activity. I am trying to get some satisfaction and my money back. I am in︌ touch with other members and would appreciate anything you may wish to offer to get︍ this settled. I am waiting on numerous replies from various agencies in Latvia as per︎ the sites suggestions.

Ha I had a Latvia lawyer & considering how bad his performance was I believe he may have been in partnership with the bank. Any ideas nohow to find a good honest one? I don't know howI can find one but I will try.
I have a smilar problem with an EMI. for this reason i hired an international lawyer office. It's expensive and dont know how much it's worth for you. But dont take a little local lawyer, it s my advice
I agree, however, on the other side I belive that most people don't want accept to complete the compliance process and for that reason call scam and fraud. However, let's see how this is going to end, hopefully with a lot of people that got their money.

First of all, my problem is not with Rietumu, i got a similar problem with an EMI.
We are 7 companies , so the global amount we fight for is around 350.000 euros , we payed 10.000 euros and 10% of the amount if it's a success. Concerning the name of the lawyer i'll ask the Admin if it s possible to ads it here.

I would also greatly appreciate the information on the lawyer firm you used. I am out over 35K USD with this scam,
Thanks, Steve
