Has anyone had experience with this offshore banking company? by Query

First Security Bank Solutions Inc, offers an anonymous bank account, for offshore banking purposes. Has anyone any experience with them and their "No ID" accounts? It bothers me I've found no reviews from their patrons, so far.
