⚠️ Freewallet: the scam project that threatens thousands of customers

[ineedhelpplease]

Now get this. Three and a half years later the FreeWallet team RESPONDS to the post in an attempt to make their support look good.

As we see, this strategy works. Newbies think that Freewallet is safe because their support is always active.

We need to stop these crooks as much as we can honestly. Such an evil app. If they didn't respond properly to Elon their whole app and reputation would've been toasted completely.

Replies to celebrities are one thing. Here, of course, Freewallet can try to convince you of an accidental error, return the money, etc. But what about ordinary people who have lost money?

We,ve got A new request for help.
Another yser got scammed by Freewallet. Administration stole almost 70000 USDT!
We publish a translation of the sent text in English:

Good afternoon, my name is Elena, unfortunately I have joined the ranks of Freewallet fraud victims. On December 13th, I set up a wallet for a USDT transaction of 68,800 USDT. The transaction was frozen due to suspicious wallet activity. I provided my passport, a photo of myself with a passport in my hands and a piece of paper with an inscription. But this did not help, as I understood this was a standard action on their part.

The same style of deceiving customers, only more victims are starting to band together to push for an investigation into Freewallet!

As far as I know, Freewallet support still ignores any tickets from the victim. So, her coins were stolen(

Right. Free wallet support never helps their customers, contacting them is just harassment with no solution. There are a lot of complaints against Free wallet and new ones are being added, but they are not changing their operations yet because they are constantly looking for victims. So the possibility of this user getting the funds back is very low, because so far I have not seen anyone's complaint being resolved.

I hope that the media promotion of the victims’ stories will force the scammers to return the money. Although, of course, this is not a panacea: I am sure that they will immediately find new clients. On the contrary, solving one user’s problem gives the support a reason to show: “look, we had problems, but we solved them.” So the main goal is to block the project and hold the organizers accountable!

Scammers never return victims' funds until the scammers are caught in some sort of legal trouble. So every time such scammers scam crypto users and run away with funds. This wallet is still scamming crypto users because Freewallet comes up in the first result of google search. So when new crypto users search for bitcoin wallets on google they find this scam wallet and send their funds to this wallet, and after sending funds they get scammed. There are already complaints from many victims in this forum, whose funds have been withheld by freewallet on various pretexts.

As long as Freewallet is online they will keep scamming crypto users. And so to stop this activity of Freewallet we should raise awareness among crypto users.

I hope they will be caught in 2024. There are already to many victims. Don't think this may last forever.

Fake Freewallet reviews: the way to attract new victims and hide negative comments

I’m not sure, but I think that this forum is visited by representatives of portals and review sites dedicated to cryptocurrencies. I've noticed that many of these sites have positive reviews of Freewallet at the top of the list. Moreover, with clearly customized text (a huge list of all the advantages of the wallet, outright advertising). At the same time, it is difficult to find comments from real customers complaining about account blocking in the list, although they are usually the majority.

Here is one example.

If representatives of portals and review sites are reading this text, please do not help scammers place their advertisements and attract new victims!

Is there anything else that can be done to stop FreeWallet besides reporting their app?

Firstly, I'd ask you to sign a petition and to share it with others.

If you coins were stolen by Freewallet the only way for you is to prepare and send official crime report. Even If Freewallet org will disappear, without official authoririties reaction, you won't get your coins back.

I must say that I am happy that I wasn't a victim of Freewallet, Remitano and Binance saved me to say the least. Although all of them are custodial arrangements, yet the two are better as they will hardly "scam" you, and if you have issues, they can still settle it as long as you have all the evidence needed. But for Freewallet, it is a pure scam with what I read, and I am happy that I know of this before it was too late. Before I knew it, I have used Freewallet for over 4 years, though it was not the transaction that is more than $200 in most cases, so they could not be greedy enough to hold my money and block my account.

Since I was using the wallet on the recommendation a quack friend that also used it..lol, I decided to research after many years. Lo and hold, I was shocked about the allegation against them and the many injustice metered to their customers who were dealing with big money. It is so sad that people are not well informed about cryptocurrency and this custodial/self-custody arrangement, that could only explain why many would still be working with a custodial approach. Freeallet is a nightmare but I am glad that they never scammed me as naive as I was. The only issue I had with them was the high fees of transactions which helped me to leave them faster than planned after the ugly discovery. Can you imagine charging me over $2+ to transfer LTC? Those guys are crooks.

I often encounter situations like this. As long as users store and send small amounts, their wallet works without interruption. As soon as you receive a large transaction, the administration immediately blocks access to the coins. However, some have their assets frozen immediately; it is difficult to determine the pattern. It's better just not to risk it

Did any of customers send official claims to the court or cyberpolice departments? I am wondering about some lawsuits...

[Doan9269]

This is unthinkable! I sent the company a photo of my ID and a selfie with a piece of paper with my name written on it. But even this did not help to unlock access to the wallet

They wouldn't, the best thing is never to have their kind with our asset, there's no amount of what you have provided that can make them accept to give you access to your asset, we have to always take good observations on choosing a platform or wallet to use before we becauses their victim, alot of people have already fallen to this kind and couldn't recover from their first experience with them, this could be so annoying and disappointing.

Maybe you know cases of successful return of stolen coins through the court or the police?

[stafstor]

Are there any users from Australia who were scammed?
If yes, then I advice to make a report here https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/report-a-scam
Good thing is that you have an oprion to allow the government to share your report with other authorities and private structures that work on stopping fraud.

For example here we prepared some materials for Russian speaking community.
Texts in other languages will also appear in several days.

For everyone who has suffered from Freewallet's actions!
We managed to contact British law enforcement. They are prepared to launch a formal investigation, but only if the victim reports the crime to the UK or local police authority.
I kindly ask everyone who has lost money to write in private messages or email freewallet-report@tutanota.com
We will help you draw up a competent application; all you need to do is send it!
