No not all off-shore merchant accounts are bad or scams. There are domestic accounts that can be even worse. Some merchants, here or abroad, just don’t care you have a business and/or a family. They will lie to you to set up your account and than take and hold your money and give you more lies! This has happened to me 3 seperate times and NO I didn’t have high chargebacks, I had NO chargebacks. They all claimed high volume and they approved me for it. I finally found a merchant that has given me no issues (knock on wood), they are offshore and let me process whatever. Stay away from upfront fees, I paid a fee, but they broke it up for me in 4 payments. Ask questions and choose wisely!

While some merchant account providers may just be nothing more than online crooks seeking to pull a fast one, not all of them are, some are actually pretty legit, like adult merchant pay.
