Fake freewallet mails, Beware

[Balladtony77]

Scammers are going around copying peoples email from
1. bounty spreadsheets
2. Fake airdrops bots

just to fool the real email users to get into their freewallet account and steal funds, I here to reveal their new moves, I personally use a different email to claim airdrops and bounties but I am surprised that all these mails of mine got the same message from fake freewallet team that some is trying to log into my account from unknown location that I should click a link to change password, the fact is I never like freewallet and I've never used any of my mails to registered for freewallet account. Be careful especially crypto newbies

After two weeks a friend of mine called from afar and asked me the same thing, this is no doubt a new move from scammers, here is the image of the mails

Hi Balladtony77,

Following the breach of data of 1.4 millions GITHUB users, many service providers chose to warn their customers of any suspicious logins to their accounts.

These notifications are solely to inform you about login attempts whereas no actual login to your account takes place.

We recommend you to change passwords to your email box immediately.

One of the reasons why I don't open much of my e-mails now.
First is because of HitBTC. After seeing a lot of e-mail from them that I had logged in from another country or something like that I had been lazy opening e-mails.
I haven't even freaking opened my HitBTC account.

Then a lot more from ICO's or new projects which I haven't signed up with.
That is already a sign that someone is copying e-mail addresses. Also shows there is no privacy in their end.
Somehow it will still be leaked thanks to the spreadsheets.

Bounties spreadsheets is what's giving scammers access to send fake mails to people's email address, I am not surprised, its same thing with HITBTC and Cryptopia exchange too, welcome to the scammers new tactics

We only need to be careful on whatever links we would click or open we should also be more cautious to some spam mails that we would receive.
And if you really wants to join or try it out you should first do your own research if the project is real or if they really have some airdrop or free wallet just like what you received.
There are already so many free wallet on the web so you should just search for the best that suit your needs.

SO, recently, those who don't consider technology  as an innovation that will move the globe forward, rather a means of extorting money from innocent and well meaning technocrats have started looking towards the fraudulent part of the technological space. I will advice everyone to always confirm the sender of the emails before clicking any link in the email, that is if there is need to do so

[OasisDre]

Take my merits, I nearly fall for this trick days back because I have a freewallet account with few bitcoin in it but since the Bitcoin is not much I just ignored the mail and after a while I heard same thing from a friend nearby who doesn't even use freewallet at all, that was what raised my eye brow lol, good post

[tabas]

This doesn't only happen for this wallet but it's almost everywhere whenever your email has been posted or filled up to any form, expect that there will be a wave of emails from unknown sources.
They are spreading it or others are copying it and do data mining for the sake of their bad plans to the people that they will take the emails. Never click a link that's very suspicious.

This is a common problem in crypto space today, every time you submitted your email address for airdrops or bounties be expecting such from scammers and spammers, most new projects aren't what they claimed to be, there is always more that meet the eye

There are different forms of strategies and attempts by scammers, most especially when it comes to anything that deals with mails. One of the safety precautions I deploy is that I have told myself that I will never click on any link directly from my email, let alone providing details to them. So, if you can abide by this, you can be sure to be safe. Then, as a bounty hunter, make sure you separate your main email address(s) from the ones you use for anything bounty or cryptocurrency-related.

Freewallet is a well know scam and it's their attempt to raise their userbase as active users are being aware of their deeds. Whenever a person finds such mail, the first thing they do is to reset the password and in this case to create a new account on a scam wallet. It's spamming for users. One of the worst kind of advertising.

I have personal issues with freewallet teams themselves, they can't be trusted because their wallet are all online/web based wallets, this means your funds aren't safe since you aren't given any private keys or recovery seed, something tells me that this email issue is from the real Freewallet teams, they are too shady for my liking

[Kvalentine]

I got mails from other websites as well not just only freewallet, most especially exchanges, claiming someone signed in from unknown IP address or location, even exchanges that I've activated their 2FA, always knew they are scam

Hi Stanlo,

Would you tell us more about your issues with our service? Is there any support ticket number or user ID, that we can check?

Thanks.

I have been receiving several login attempts to some of my exchange accounts but because I have 2FA installed, this has not been possible. I hate when BM will always insist we carry out a full KYC and even submit our emails.

You're right, i have hitbtc exchange account and this old account i did not use it from long time. Sometimes i getting login attempts monthly 1 or 2 times. I am asking hitbtc support team their respond those spam message. But they suggest to make strong security such as two factor authentication, than i did not receive again.

Good for you this is a must protocol in order to save yourself from scam bounties. Also those free airdrops like what OP mentioned is usually professionals when it comes to spamming one's email with am invitation to join certain giveaway or confirmation to receive rewards once you clicked it. You already been compromised.

Freewallet is a well know scam and it's their attempt to raise their userbase as active users are being aware of their deeds.

Ive been hearing some cases already about freewallet or maybe they are just using the platform's name and imitate those signature or their social to message you via email there are lots of scammers like this and to be honest the message seems legit but its a fake one. So extra careful when dealing with some free giveaway. Much better avoid joining and using your email frequently for this.

Just ordinary emails are target to carry out these evil strategies, I wonder what they are doing with our KYC details, I heard some buy KYC details, for what? Nothing good ever coming out of that (KYC) too

[jessyj48]

Its nothing new, bad people buy emails from people this days to carry out this kind of operations, if you fall for it your funds is a gonna, I don't click on links through emails unless the one I am expecting to enter my email address, be careful people, this is 2020 and many scammers will be on hunt

I prefer wallets that dont know my email or any other information. OWNR wallet, Exodus, etc
