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.
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.
