Plaintiffs jointly operated the domain name &#8220;www.razorpay.com&#8221;, which was registered in the name of Plaintiff 2.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">In January 2024, plaintiffs received multiple complaints against a financial scam being operated by Defendant 1 on the pretext of providing the consumers a job with plaintiffs. As per the account of one of the aggrieved persons, the modus operandi of Defendant 1 was that an unsuspecting consumer was first approached on WhatsApp platform by Defendant 1, falsely representing themselves as a recruiter of &#8220;Razor Company Ltd.&#8221; and offering a part-time job with the said company for extra income. As per the information available on the website of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, no such company existed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">During the investigation, plaintiffs received information regarding operation of the website &#8220;https:\/\/www.razorrq.vip\/&#8221; that incorporated &#8216;RAZOR&#8217; in the domain name and displayed the trade marks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/10_Financial-Scam-unauthorized-use-of-mark-\u2018RAZORPAY-7.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/10_Financial-Scam-unauthorized-use-of-mark-\u2018RAZORPAY-7.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"84\" height=\"35\"\/><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/10_Financial-Scam-unauthorized-use-of-mark-\u2018RAZORPAY-8.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/10_Financial-Scam-unauthorized-use-of-mark-\u2018RAZORPAY-8.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"65\" height=\"40\"\/><\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/10_Financial-Scam-unauthorized-use-of-mark-\u2018RAZORPAY-9.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/10_Financial-Scam-unauthorized-use-of-mark-\u2018RAZORPAY-9.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"35\"\/><\/a> on the webpage, which were identical\/deceptively similar to plaintiffs&#8217; &#8216;Razor&#8217; marks.
