We hate to say it, but we have to keep it real—scammers are out there, and they’re targeting Maxim Cover Girl contestants.
If you’re in the running, stay vigilant. These fraudsters are sliding into DMs and emails, offering fake modeling gigs or shady ways to “buy” votes.
Let’s be clear:
✅ The ONLY official Maxim Instagram accounts are @maximmag & @maximmag_covergirl.
✅ If any other account claims to be with Maxim—BLOCK & REPORT.
Maxim has been a powerhouse in the modeling world for over 30 years, and we’re committed to supporting real talent—not scammers.
If anything feels off, trust your instincts. Email us at support@maxim.vote to verify any suspicious messages.
Stay smart. Stay safe. And keep grinding toward your dreams!
Here’s how these scammers operate:
They make big promises and use flashy lists & emojis to lure you in. They create a false sense of urgency to pressure you into acting fast. One scammer recently offered “daily votes & followers”—asking for 30% upfront and the rest “once you win.”
It’s a trap. Anyone claiming they can guarantee your success for a fee is lying. Modeling is a competitive and rewarding industry. Stay focused, trust your instincts, and surround yourself with real supporters. **Scammers will never define your journey—**you will.
Keep pushing. Stay smart. And go after that crown the right way.
