According to Baltic News Service, Riga Police chief claims there is no such thing as scam in most of notorious Riga nightclubs anymore.
Riga Criminal Police chief Ints Kuzis told that not a single complaint about nightclub fraud or robbery had been received so far during 2008.
Last year media were flooded with stories of tourists being scammed by nightclub staff. As an example - a tourist was forced to pay a bill of 1100 lats (15,625 euro) under the threat of violence.

Kuzis said police had attempted to resolve the problem by cooperating with the nightclub owners.
“They are sensible people who understand the problem. They are mostly unaware about the fraud cases. The fraud is being organized among lower staff levels, guards, barmen and other staff,” Kuzis said.
“We have won a very important victory. Actually, we have not received a single application stating that someone was swindled using this service. Of course there will always be frustrated people, who think they have drunk less than they are charged, but there are no crimes of such kind.”

Well, too many doubts
