Maxim Rides and Food Delivery<\/strong> has issued a statement regarding allegations of fraud<\/strong> using their platform.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Maxim assured the public that they are taking immediate steps to address the security issues<\/strong> and prevent future scams.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

According to Daria Sato<\/strong>, Maxim's Public Relations Specialist, they have identified and blocked<\/strong> accounts related to fraudulent activities<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

They also introduced a new security feature<\/strong> that hides customers' contact numbers<\/strong>. It will only be visible to verified driver-partners<\/strong> who accept the order.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

This action was taken after reports spread on social media of how scammers<\/strong> were using Maxim's booking system to deceive customers.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

According to victims, scammers pretend to be delivery riders<\/strong>, collect customers' contact details<\/strong>, and encourage them to send advance payment<\/strong> to digital wallets like Maya<\/strong>. After this, the scammer will cancel the order and run away with the money.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Maxim's Reminders for Safety:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

  • Avoid communicating outside the app in case the rider cancels the order.<\/span><\/li>
  • Only use Maxim's official payment channels<\/strong>.<\/span><\/li>
  • If possible, select cash payment<\/strong> and make sure the order is correct before paying.<\/span><\/li>
  • Report<\/strong> any suspicious activity to their support team immediately.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Due to the escalating issue, city councilors<\/strong> called on the owner of Maxim to implement stricter security protocols<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    They also urged the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)<\/strong> and the National Privacy Commission (NPC)<\/strong> to review Maxim's data security to ensure that app users are safe.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
