Metamax Review — Is Metamax a Scam?

Forensics Source Group is not affiliated to this broker. We do not hold this account, we cannot close a balance, and we do not phone you as this firm.

Yes. Metamax is a task-based crypto Ponzi the Philippine SEC called out by name — and a name one syllable from MetaMask, which this page disambiguates prominently The notices are written once, in the block below. If you paid metamax.vip, the date and how you paid are the part this review cannot see.

The record

What the notices say

  • Philippine SEC securities-fraud warning (2 Jul 2024): MetaMax “has characteristics of a Ponzi scheme”, with fines up to 5M PHP and 21 years' imprisonment for promoters.
  • BehindMLM (28 May 2024): a task-based MLM crypto Ponzi (“watch videos, earn commissions”) that collapsed on 3 Jul 2024; operators linked to Brazil.
  • Victim report (Reddit r/Scams, Jun 2024): $3,000 lost, unable to withdraw, with a follow-up in Aug 2025.
  • CSA investor alert (19 Aug 2025) and an OSC warning (30 Mar 2026) against MetaMax — the 2026 entry may be a reboot; stated as “same name, presumed linked”, not proven.
  • Disambiguation, stated prominently: this has nothing to do with MetaMask, the crypto wallet. The near-identical name is a search-trap for wallet users.
Loss or this pattern

A trading loss and this pattern are not the same

  • total loss at collapse, then reboots under the same name
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you close my Metamax account, or have the person who phoned me call again?

Forensics Source Group is not affiliated to this broker. We do not hold an account at metamax.vip. We cannot confirm a balance, close an account, or phone you as Metamax.

Metamax says I must pay a tax or fee before withdrawing — should I?

No. A real broker deducts a fee from the balance. A new payment to release your own money is a second charge. Keep the message that asked for it.

What do you do with what I send?

We place it next to the record above. Where the same payment shows up from other people, those files can sit together as a class action. The first look is free.
