ROTTERDAM, 19 December 2022 – Claners.com, the leading online gaming retailer in Mexico, has chosen Alphacomm’s Protectmaxx anti-fraud solution to secure its online payments against fraudsters.
Digital goods sales is risky business in Mexico
Mexico has long been dangerous ground for e-commerce activity. In the up-and-coming Latin American country, fraud is the second most prevalent form of crime. In 2019, Mexico topped the list for the number of reported online scams among Latin American countries, and in 2020, $386 million was lost as a result of online scams. When it comes to digital goods sales, the video game industry in Mexico is particularly vulnerable to attacks.
Empowering the unbanked
For Claners.com, a platform offering access to over 4000 digital products, online payment fraud has been a long been a recurring issue with at times severe financial consequences. Through its massive online platform, Claners.com empowers unbanked gamers in Mexico by enabling them to take part in the digital gaming ecosystem. The company does so by providing over 50,000 points of sale throughout the country, as well as a vast and expanding range of online payment methods. However, as a pioneer in the Latin American gaming industry, Claners.com’s high visibility in the space has also made it a target for fraudsters.
