I see that scammers refer quite frequently to “off sure accounts”
Mr. Rafik Hariri deposit 95,759,000 Million British Pounds in his off sure account with our bank here in London and I want to invest this money in a Real Estate Business in your country
He has plenty enough money to pay the ransom demands though he has no way of accessing his monies held in an off-sure account
It might be all the same person! There are other instances though:
Latest News. January 2009. Pulse anounces new off sure account
and i’m pulling money out of the company and putting it a off sure account
