There you are, joined the whole crypto thing. Even bought some hardware to mine. All good to go.
You generate a few bucks with your hardware and decide to use blockchain wallet. So far so good.
Then you read the bitcoin price may drop. And you read Ethereum is the new coin (Stupid hype influenced me)
Your search for a good second wallet. You choose the one wallet that seems to be nice (based on no research at all)
Freewallet.com turns out to be the biggest scam ever. I sent my hard mined coins to my Eth wallet, in the hope of gaining some Bitcoin when the price drop. Never thinking that I may actually lose all of it.
Then you ask them for help, You even include the transaction on your trusted Bitcoin wallet. Just to monitor the transaction that remains pending (unspent) for months on end. One fine morning suddenly the transaction is spent according to the transaction log. But your scammed by Freewallet.org wallet reflect nothing. Suspicion and anger overflow your mind. You want to find and shred the founder of this scam to pieces.
Here I am with probably a million others that DO NOT trust the current blockchain technology and players. It has just made it simpler for criminals to steal from people.
I am calling all others that were scammed by this Freewallet group to come forward. I want to get a group together so we may trace them and findthem.
Please comment here if you have been a victim of these crooks.
As much as I understand losing money sucks in every scenario, there are countless people here who are actively bringing advice to not use online wallets and to, in general, not trust online wallet providers.
