This one is an online wallet. They operate simmillar to an exchange, they don't give you your private keys. If you don't have your private keys you don't control your coins. You are rather trusting a 3rd party with you coins, in this case you trust freewallet.org, that's why it is advised to keep your coins on some clients or even hardware and paper wallets as you have the private key so that you can prove an ownership with your coins. Just inform yourself what are wallets and which ones to use. |

Any evidence to support those claims? Early today I saw some guy complaining about Freewallet and how his friend was unable to access his wallet with "substantial amount of money", so maybe this isn't just a coincidence? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1963748 |

Are you claiming that the wallet is a scam and what makes you think that and why do you think that the wallet address provided is from a scammer,it is holding a huge number of coins but miners who are mining for the past one plus years might have these sort of balance if they are holding it,where is the scam you are talking about,link me the source of this accusation. EDiT: really sad ,people should never store their coins in a third part wallet. |

That's why i didn't use online wallets because you don't have the coins although i have an online wallet, but it is intended for cashouts only. For those who scammed by this online wallet service, i'm sorry for your losses and this will be a lesson for you that you shouldn't trust any online wallet services. Every year we see things like this when will people learn maybe this will be in the papers tomorrow or something $7 million stole....so many lives ruined Indeed. Oh well another scam service revealed again will this ever end. |

Early today I saw some guy complaining about Freewallet and how his friend was unable to access his wallet with "substantial amount of money", so maybe this isn't just a coincidence? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1963748All the multi-coin wallets are going to shit recently. This one, BIT.AC, possibly Jaxx (though they're not a web wallet so it's not the same)... Just goes to show that a lot of people we'd previously thought trustworthy will get worse and worse as more money is involved. This holds true for all the exchanges which are arguably no longer safe as well. Solution: take your coins into a safer wallet like a TREZOR, or ideally cold storage. HODLing through this crypto craziness is the safest way to do it. Maybe future regulations on cryptocurrency exchanges and wallet providers will make scams harder. |

WTH, are you sure about this? I have 2 of their freewallet apps literally on my phone right now but thank god they don't hold any funds. I'm going to uninstall them right away just to be on the safe side. Thank you for alerting, appreciate it. Edit: There is a discussion on reddit about the incident and it seems that their support has replied about the on going accusation. They say that its all fake news spread by their competitors. I don't believe that statement one bit to be honest, because what does a competitior gain from destroying the image of a free wallet service? Link to the thread : https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/6gtrmd/freewalletorg_scam_millions_stolen/diteu7n/

Thank you for the alarm, it will help others not fall prey to their greed.
As most others pointed out, it is not an wallet but an exchange. In fact, the online wallets who are not providing access to the private key, are not to be trusted to keep large sums of money with.

There are some theories that Minergate is connected to Freewallet, which in turn is connected with Changelly. Changelly is connected with HitBTC, so if that is true, it would make neither of these exchanges/wallets safe to deal with. Freewallet are saying that it is just an "ordinary planned procedure". I don't know whether to believe them, or not. But their support is certainly active on reddit and actively solving problems as they pop up, and as of now i don't think anyone has actually lost anything to them. All user assets are completely safe. Freewallet operates for more than 1 year on a market and puts safety of users assets as a high priority. Our security team operates top level cryptocurrency multilayer security systems. Since the beginning of operations not a cent of user money was lost. Freewallet stores funds in a multi-signature cold storage with a bank level security grade. From time to time there are rebalancing procedures between different cold storages and hot wallets. There’s no need to worry, this is an ordinary and planned procedure for cryptocurrency systems. All user assets are completely safe. We offer more than 14 wallets and all of them are operating fine. Please, reach Freewallet support via in-app chat or info@freewallet.org if you need any assistance. |

Why would people use those unknown or unpopular wallets ? Since there are lots of choices on make use of online wallet even those reputable ones aren't too trusted because chances of getting scammed is still there. Sorry for those users who lost up money on using that wallet that would really be painful but this is just really a consequence of being careless. |

Every year we see things like this when will people learn maybe this will be in the papers tomorrow or something $7 million stole....so many lives ruined I do not feel pity or anyone who lost money in this scam. I am sorry to say that, but these people are morons. It is exactly as someone from Reddit said: "freewallet = bytecoin = minergate = changelly = hitBTC. people were warned for over a year that they are scammers but nobody listens. no pity you fools" Some people only learn when they experience a loss themselves. There is no other way to cure idiocy. |

Omg such a big money scammed. But i couldn't imagine if someone can scam that large amount.. or maybe the owner of this https://etherscan.io/address/0x11b85b4e2fadaebe04a251377aa35b9be3c785f0 transaction is only a group or one person who invested a lot in ethereum.. Since the freewallet.org never heard that site . that is why don't trust other wallet and much better to use well know wallet to be safe.. |
Make crypto as your bank.

I am aware that as a new user I have not much trust to expect.
But I made the stupid misstake and went as well Appstore , installed Etherum wallet by freewallet and did sent a not small amount to that wallet.
Well few days passed and I did not mind, until I wanted to move them out when realized I have no control over Privatekeys. So I sent and the transaction stucked in sending. I checked google and found this thread some on reddit and big warnings. So i was certain I am scammed and could literally punch myself.
After desperately sending support messages, even to the owner via Facebook and reddit and email, I recieved today an mail, to not worry my transaction will soon be canceled and the funds are back in my wallet.
Sure I was like WTF, and than??? Coins are back in a wallet where i cant get them out. Bravo.
Well after the trascation got cancelled, I withdraw again and the coins went through just fine.
I could not really believe when i saw them on the blockchain. That feeling was just to nice.
So all I can say, I got my coins, and I cant imagine a Scam to do me any favor.
If someone needs proof to confirm just hit me up
