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.

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.

An anonymous payment gateway for high-risk merchants runs under the domain Gate.Savannah.tech. In addition to an extensive API, it also offers plugins for various platforms such as WooCommerce, Magento, or OpenCart. The payment gateway is quite well-frequented, with almost 30,000 accesses per month. It is closely linked to other payment processors and gateways like GummBallPay, PraxisPay, or PaynetEasy. We have discovered Savannah.tech in some scams and would like to know more about the operators and users.

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!

Over the last couple of months, we issued several warnings against the broker scam soltechX, operated by the offshore entity Maxx LLC, registered in St. Vincent & The Grenadines. This entity has also operated other scams. As payment facilitators, we found the notorious BridgerPay, PayPound, and PayStudio. The boiler rooms behind soltechX and related scams are in Ukraine and Serbia. Max LLC is related to Cubic Services Ltd, another offshore scam operator with boiler rooms in Ukraine and Serbia. Stay far away and protect your financial health.

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.

In Nov 2020, a UK court ordered iPayTotal Ltd to go into insolvency and liquidation. Many millions disappeared in the collapse of the British-Indian high-risk payment scheme. The beneficial owners were Ruchi Rathor, Anirudh Pratap Singh Rathor, and Anurag Pratap Singh. They operate several successor schemes through legal entities in India and Europe. Ruchi Rathors future son-in-law, Yuvraj Singh, is the mastermind behind OpenUp, Kryptova, and BitMatix. Merchants should avoid these payment schemes.

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.

In April 2022, we warned against the broker scam soltechX, operated by the offshore entity Maxx LLC, registered in St. Vincent & The Grenadines. This entity has also operated other scams. As payment facilitators, we found the notorious BridgerPay, PayPound, and PayStudio. The boiler rooms behind soltechX and related scams are in Ukraine and Serbia. Max LLC is related to Cubic Services Ltd, another offshore scam operator with boiler rooms in Ukraine and Serbia.
