I know it would be a little bit off topic, but would you care to share what exchange it was? And also how much money you had stored on your Freebitcoin account before all this fiasco happened?
I have personally learned from reading stories like yours to never allow exchanges to have the bulk of my money, because it undermines the whole point of being one's own bank.
I hope I will never have to suffer something as a seizure of my funds, not matter how small those funds are on exchanges or casinos, for real...
I used MEXC exchange, which was my go-to exchange at the time because their no KYC policy for smaller amounts at the time. Unfortunately they changed the pllicy in the meantime soI don't use that exchange anymore. The amount was around 300 USD worth if I remember correctly.
Ouch... Sorry for that lost.
It may not sound as a lot of money for many people around here, who have a substantial amount of money in Bitcoin and other hard assets, but three hundred dollars are several months worth of labor in some of the countries where people on this forum are from...
Hopefully with this new lesson we have learnt, we will be able to avoid future situations, in which our money would be in danger of being seized or frozen.
I just can hope, those who have lost a little of their money because of this scam going on with Freebitcoin can also learn the same lesson we have taken, and not to trust their money to centralized entities, not matter their history or their past performance.
