iPayTotal cooperates with FCA-regulated Global Payments to facilitate scams

In our research on the Financial Resident broker scam, we identified iPayTotal as one of the payment facilitators. However, when processing deposits via iPayTotal, visitors are redirected to Global Payments (www.globalpay.com), a payment processor licensed by the UK FCA. iPayTotal is one of the most notorious high-payment processors in the scammer scene. Many scammers complain that they were ripped off by iPayTotal and that funds were not transferred to them anymore. In this respect, the cooperation with a regulated FCA entity is somewhat surprising.
