Offshore setup for a risky software business (>$20k/month)

Correct.Its not all but %90 of them are fraud.They will not be able to open a solid and reputable bank account for you.
What they would offer is to have 1-2 EMI accounts and a bank account in a country or an island country which you can not even show on the world map.
The funny thing is that you will learn that after you pay them. :))))

If you want to test them,just ask which banks they do offer accounts in.Try to get the names.

1. if the activity is HIGH RISK as he said
2. if he wants a bank without CRS
3. if he doesnt want to pay more than 3K for the whole setup
4. if he is not willing to meet any bank, do everything remotely
and then a firm offers you a shitty option, is it THEIR fault? are they a fraud?

if you enter a car showroom with 10k USD, i dont think you will get a bentley/rolls royce, probably a toyota, kia or hyundai
