MetaMax securities fraud warning from Philippines
MetaMax has received a securities fraud warning from the Philippines.
As per the Philippine SEC’s June 25th warning, MetaMax
is enticing the public, through social media platform or through their own independent websites to invest in said entity.
The public is being made aware that an “investment contract” exists when there is an investment or placement of money in a common enterprise with a reasonable expectation of profits to be derived from the efforts of others which is prominent in the
scheme of METAMAX.As such, the Securities Regulation Code (SRC) requires that said offer and sale of securities must be duly registered with the Commission and that the concerned entity and/or its agents should have the appropriate registration and/or license to sell such
securities to the public.The records of the Commission show that METAMAX ASIAN INC. is registered with the Commission. On the other hand, METAMAX is NOT REGISTERED with the Commission as a Corporation or a Partnership.
However, METAMAX ASIAN INC. and METAMAX are NOT AUTHORIZED to solicit investments from the public since it has
not secured prior registration and/or license from the Commission as prescribed under Section 8 and 28 of the Securities Regulation Code (SRC).
Failure to register securities means MetaMax is offering unregistered securities in the Philippines. Offering unregistered securities in country’s with regulated financial markets constitutes securities fraud.
Pursuant to MetaMax committing securities fraud, the Philippine SEC states MetaMax has the characteristics of a “Ponzi Scheme”.
This aligns with BehindMLM’s May 28th published MetaMax review. Based on MetaMax’s business model, we concluded it was a task-based MLM crypto Ponzi.
The Philippine SEC warns promoters of MetaMax in the Philippines face fines of up to 5 million PHP (~$85,297 USD) and/or twenty-one years in prison.
The SEC’s MetaMax fraud warning is significant. As of May 2024, SimilarWeb tracked top sources of traffic to MetaMax’s .VIP domain as the Philippines (29%), Canada (28%), Afghanistan (11%) and the US (6%).
MetaMax is believed to be run by anonymous scammers with ties to Brazil. Since BehindMLM published its review, MetaMax has already abandoned one of its website domains (“metamax.top”).
MetaMax’s remaining website domain (“metamax.vip”), remains online at time of publication.
Update 3rd July 2024 – MetaMax has collapsed.
This is a no 1 scamers I lost 480Usdt don’t believe metamax.
metamax.top is not abandoned yet.
Domain isn’t loading here, it’s been disabled at the DNS level. So yeah, it has been abandoned.
DNS Record not found. That’s a nope.

why it close the metamax in the Philippines and to much have scam of them ,how can we get again our invest from it.
why they should to like this, they should return back our money.
the metmax it will come back again the system or no?
Not a great experience.
Is there any way that we recover what we have lost?
Ah, I see MetaMax’s .VIP domain was also pulled within 24 hours of this article going live.
I’ll be starting late today but MetaMax’s collapse is on the list.
General reminder to MetaMax victims:
You invested into an obvious Ponzi scheme you clearly did no due-diligence into. Your money is gone. Nobody here can get your money back so don’t bother asking.
Anyone promising you recovery is a recovery scammer and trying to double-scam you. There are no exceptions to these rules.
Sorry for your loss.
There is another global premiere attached again in the Philippines. Another scam. Same platform as MetaMax. If you want to be scammed again, join them. Peace.
Global Premiers? BehindMLM has already covered that.

Note that when these task scams take off in a country they always pump out reboot scams to entice late-to-join victims.
Just got back. Having a short nap then I’ll get stuck into the news.
edit: Apparently the MetaMax reboot scam is Meta Quest-Plus. Copy and paste website template with the same AI avatar videos.
Punish the scammer and make them.
Punish who? Who did you give your money to?
Go on, I’ll wait…
Philippines social media is on fire with this one rugpulling.
Guys lets complain to INTERPOL they group of people for the ASIA are all can be seen in below video.

Interpol don’t deal with the public. You have to report to your local authorities.
“Hello sirs, I’m a fucking idiot who gave anonymous scammers money over a dodgy mobile app. If I click a button in the app I get infinity money. OMFG HELP PLZ!”
Let us know how that goes.
Morons will be morons as always. There is one born every 5 seconds for the the Ruzzian, N. Korean and others Scam farms of course to fleece.
Stop putting your hard earnt bucks and in many cases even borrowed cash to scammers. There are no Digital short cuts to wealth and escape from poverty. If you have spare money, use it for education.

Of course it’s math. All Ponzi schemes are math.
No new investment to steal = Ponzi go boom
No exceptions and you don’t need to come up with paragraphs of waffle to explain.
Also what’s with referring to a Ponzi scammer as an “exceptional person”? They’re thieves, all of them.
Good for you Sir if you are not a victim of metamax as we are considered old people with no knowledge of Ponzi Scheme and too late to know we are being manipulated…
the knowledge shared by someone in telegram give me an insight that for them METAMAX is a GAME… Metamax used the regulatory of SEC Phils for early scams, initiated in Phils and globally with fully Shutdown of the domain.
They renewed their domain but the intention is to deceived us that the business will continues.
MetaMax was a Ponzi scheme created to steal your money. It was never anything else.
MetaMax created bullshit marketing about the Philippine SEC, which you evidently fell for. At no time was MetaMax registered with the Philippine SEC. It operated illegally from day one.
Someone shared with me on Telegram… someone in Telegram gave me insight…
Get off Telegram and start using your own brain. Sorry for your loss.
If you are not a Filipino I will understand you but if you are one of those traditional networker who intentionally raise this to Philippine Government you are considered one of the Manipulators/ Scammers contributed to the people who loss their money.
If you are a moderator here good for you I have nothing to say, but Thank you I have shared here in your forum.
The SEC didn’t steal your money. Anyone who reported MetaMax to the SEC didn’t steal your money.
The only scammers are the people who created MetaMax to steal your money, and anyone who promoted it. And you don’t need to be Filipino to understand financial fraud.
You sound like you have many more financial loss lessons to learn. Stick around on Telegram, plenty more scams to fall for. Make sure you fall for a few recovery scams too!
This is some impressive Victim blaming. I mean do you get this defensive with rape victims reporting their assailants to Police too? Wow
Not even victim blaming. She’s blaming people who reported MetaMax as fraud before it collapsed.
Random Filipino with a brain: This is an obvious Ponzi scheme, better do the responsible thing and report it to the authorities.
Dumbass MetaMax investors: yOu’Re ThE sCaM! sToP sTeAlInG oUr MoNeY!
Fair, 3rd party reporting a mugging/rape then. HOW DARE YOU haha.
There are always a few in every scam who won’t see the light and blame everybody else for stealing their dreams. Seen it in Zeek, seen it in TVI Express, etc etc etc.
