The Shadow Empire of High-Risk Payments: How Merchants Are Being Robbed in Plain Sight
In the glittering world of online commerce, high-risk merchants — those operating in industries like online gambling, adult entertainment, nutraceuticals, crypto, or CBD — are told they are entering a land of opportunity. "Fast bucks," the promises say. "Global reach. Easy approvals."
The reality is a sophisticated machine designed to extract every possible cent from merchants who have already fought tooth and nail to acquire customers. What follows is not just bad service. It is, in many cases, daylight robbery dressed up in corporate suits, offshore licenses, and glossy websites.
The Setup: A Industry Built on Smoke and Mirrors
The high-risk payment sector has a handful of established, relatively compliant players who operate within legal boundaries. Surrounding them is an army of thousands of smaller processors, aggregators, and "solution providers" who treat regulations as suggestions rather than rules.
These companies register in jurisdictions where enforcement is weak or nonexistent — places where "licensed" often means little more than a piece of paper and an annual fee. Malta, certain Eastern European countries, Southeast Asian hubs, and various island nations have become favorite playgrounds. Some licenses come from regulators that exist mostly in name only.
Merchants, desperate for payment solutions after being rejected by mainstream banks, sign contracts without fully understanding the small print. They are sold on low MDR (Merchant Discount Rate), fast settlements, and "robust" compliance. What they get is something entirely different.
The Art of the Slow Bleed (and Sudden Death)
The scam rarely starts with outright theft. It begins with "innovative" fee structures that the industry itself invented:
Failed transaction fees — sometimes higher than successful ones. In the age of AI and smart retry logic, merchants are charged for declines as if an army of agents is manually retrying each one. This is the modern version of the three-card monte scam — you cannot win.
Rolling reserves that mysteriously grow.
Miscoding to bypass card scheme rules.
Arbitrary chargeback penalties, currency conversion gouges, and "compliance monitoring" fees.
Sudden account freezes right when payouts are due, followed by endless "reviews."
Many merchants report the same pattern: They spend heavily on affiliates, SEO, and advertising to drive traffic. Once the money starts flowing, the payment provider begins extracting it through creative fees and delays. By the time the merchant realizes what's happening, thousands or hundreds of thousands are locked up.
When merchants complain, they are often told the funds are being held for "risk reasons" or "pending investigation." Appeals go nowhere. Some providers simply rebrand, change legal entities, or disappear — only to pop up under a new name months later.
The Usual Suspects: Current Investigations
Payment 365’s investigation team has been tracking multiple players that keep appearing in merchant complaints. Among those currently under scrutiny:
Glodipay
Gpay Singapore
Buzipay
Paytoro
Vasu Pay
UK DCP (Digital Coin Payment)
Soft2Pay (associated with Mr. Yousef)
Simple2Pay
Payhound (Malta operations)
These names surface repeatedly in stories of delayed or vanished funds, aggressive fee structures, and questionable licensing claims. Payment 365 actively collects merchant experiences and forwards documented cases to relevant authorities while attempting recovery where possible.
Why This Persists
The core problem is simple: Most victims cannot easily go to the police or cybercrime units. The contracts are written to favor the processor. The companies operate across borders. Many merchants themselves operate in gray-area industries and fear drawing regulatory attention. The result is near-perfect impunity for the worst actors.

Many merchants report the same pattern: heavy spending on affiliates, advertising, and traffic — only for the payment provider to start bleeding them dry through creative fees and delays. By the time you realize it, your hard-earned revenue is locked up or gone.

Why This Persists
Merchants in gray-area industries often feel they cannot go to authorities. Contracts favor the processors. Companies change names, create new storefronts, or simply disappear with the money.
Fighting Back: The Payment 365 Blackbook
We maintain:
Weekly lists of problematic providers
A regularly updated Blackbook of providers to avoid
Active investigations and merchant evidence collection for authorities

🚨 MAJOR EXPOSÉ ALERT – PAYMENTS365
This Friday we expose a network of Malta-based payment companies allegedly scamming merchants with smooth lies and disappearing acts.

Names we name:
Elton Dimech (Payhound)
Ramy Ben Fraj (Payhound & ex-DCP)
Yosef Kamel (CEO – Soft2Pay / Simple2Pay / DCP)
Luigi Spina (DCP)
Same tactics: Big promises → Take large deposits → Endless “settlement delays” → Ghosting merchants.
Multiple store fronts: Payhound �� Soft2Pay • Simple2Pay • Digital Crypto Pay • S2P Services Ltd
Merchants are losing hundreds of thousands while these operators hide behind EMI & MiCA licenses.
The victim list is growing fast.
If you’ve been scammed by any of these companies — DM us. We want to hear your story.
Full episode drops this Friday.
Warning to all merchants: Stay away.
