FinTelegram has already reported that the UK entities behind the high-risk payment processors, Kryptova, Bitmatix, and Paypound are in the process of being dissolved. The UK Companies House announced that the companies cease to exist via voluntary strike-off as of April 18, 2023. They belong to the network of notorious Indian payment veteran Ruchi Rathor. Merchants should take the best care of their money and avoid black-listed Kryptova, Bitmatix, and Paypound.

Now it's official! The two high-risk payment processor schemata Kryptova and Paypound from the environment of the notorious Indian payment veteran Ruchi Rathor are officially operated via the offshore company Next Ring LLC in Nevis. Until recently, the two UK-registered companies, Kryptova Biz Ltd and Self Pay IO Ltd, were the official operators. These are now in the process of voluntary strike-off. The new Nevis address is included in the Offshore Leaks Database.

Admittedly, we were a bit surprised when we received the invitation to Ruchi Rathor's new project, Pay Agency, today. Especially after the recent discussions on Twitter. Our FinTelegram team has been following the Indian payment veteran's projects and learned the brutal art of ripping off high-risk merchants had been practiced there. Now Rathor wants to launch a matchmaking platform with her Pay Agency where she brings merchants and PSPs together. Here is our first impression.

The high-risk payment processor BitMatix is part of Ruchi Rathor's network and is operated by her son-in-law Yuvraj Singh. Until recently, BitMatix IO Ltd in the UK was listed as the operator. On January 23, 2023, a voluntary strike-off request was filed by the company. As with the other UK companies in the network, Kryptova, and Paypound. The BitMatix website now states a BitMatix Inc. as the operator. We have not been able to find this company and advise merchants to be super-cautious.

Indian payment veteran Ruchi Rathor's high-risk payment processor scheme iPayTotal collapsed in late 2020. Initially, iPayTotal Ltd was to be quietly dissolved and disappear. But then creditors came forward, and the court opened bankruptcy on the company. The Joint Liquidators report claims in the millions. Senthooran Kuganathan, a/k/a Sen Kugan, was one of the executives of the scheme and cashed a lot of money. He bought himself an expensive house and a Porsche!

FinTelegram has received extensive documentation from a former OpenFinance executive stating that Ruchi Rathor is the beneficial owner of the Denmark-based high-risk payment processor. The official shareholder is the Portuguese-registered Chestnut Investments - Unipessoal LDA, where Portuguese-based Russian Svetlana Ivanova is registered as a director. The documents also show that Rathor's various high-risk processors work with fake people. Merchants should be highly alerted!

Reportedly, Indian payment entrepreneurs Ruchi Rathor, her son-in-law Yuvraj Singh and their family are allegedly residing in Dubai. There they enjoy the money they earn through the merchants of their numerous high-risk payment processors. Every week we receive complaints and warnings against various schemes like PayPound, Payomatix, or OpenUp. With Pay Agency, Rathor has launched the next project to address the high-risk payment segment. We recommend merchants and the highest caution.

High-risk processor Payomatix is one of the many payment ventures of the notorious British-Indian Ruchi Rathor, the mastermind behind the collapsed payment scheme iPayTotal scheme. Just recently, Rathor launched the RaiseMoney initiative, an online community assisting entrepreneurs and investors in their early-stage financing. The legal entity behind this new scheme is Payomatix Technologies Pvt Limited, a company black-rated on PayRate42. We advise merchants and investors to be super-cautious!

BizzBusters Ltd was a UK-registered company founded in 2012 by Indian Anurag Pratap Singh, the husband of British-Indian high-risk payment scammer Ruchi Rathor. The company was dissolved in 2016 via a compulsory strike-off and has disappeared. According to whistleblower information, BizzBusters is now to be revived via an Indian company. The mastermind behind the BizzBusters project would be Ruchi Rathor's son-in-law, Yuvraj Singh, and his brother Swaraj Singh.

We have recently found at soltechX broker scam PayStudio as a payment processor for credit and debit card deposits. The operator is Synopsis Success LDA in Portugal with an address where the high-risk payment processor CryptoMatix by Ruchi Rathor is located. Currently, Rathor and her British-Indian gang apparently run their payment processors through companies in Portugal. Chestnut Investments Lda, the parent company behind the Danish OpenUp is also based in Portugal.

Facilitating payment processors are a strategic FinTelegram focus. Without facilitating payment processors, most cybercrime activities and scams would not be possible in the first place. Many of these payment processors specialize in the dark side of online merchants and therefore operate anonymously or with fake IDs. As does NeoBanQ, which reportedly refers its merchants to Charge.Money about which nothing is known except a company in Hong Kong and a phone number in the UK. We want to learn more about Charge.Money.

iPaytotal was a notorious Indo-British high-risk payment processor that was primarily involved in scams and cybercrime activities. FinTelegram has exposed iPayTotal as a facilitator in dozens of scams. In Nov 2020, iPayTotal Ltd in the UK was ordered by the court to go into insolvency and liquidation. Many millions disappeared in the process. The beneficial owners were Ruchi Rathor, Anirudh Pratap Singh Rathor, and Anurag Pratap Singh. They are currently operating a number of successor schemes through their companies in India and the UK. BitMatix is just one of them.
