So I wonder. Is Latvia Offshore?

I am in receipt of a fun piece of spam:

      Dear Customer,

      tool? Concerned about preserving your wealth in the heart of
      Europe without personal identity disclosure? We have a

So I wander over to NSI and discover where "the Heart of Europe" is
(OFFSHORE-CARDS.COM) and discover that it is Latvia.

Now it is certainly possible that heroic Latvians could be offering
fabulous anonymous bank accounts and credit and debit cards but how would
one know this in advance. Then there's the fact that the record was
created in May. A bit young. Give it a while to age.
