Help us to remove Freewallet scam wallets from AppStore

[aioc]

 Therefore, it may be a good idea to leave a one-star rating and provide a brief warning about these applications. Suppose the administrators and the stores' teams do not respond to the reports of the removal of these apps from their stores. In that case, low ratings and negative reviews will serve as a preventive measure for many people unaware of the true nature of this scam wallet, which has caused many users to lose their funds.

YYes, that also might help. But I was checking ssome ratings today and found that they add many fake positivve reviews. those reviews even look unnatural like "Oh, it's such a great wallet' (I can't imagine someone wasting his time to write complimentary words just for usual crypto wallet). And those fake reviews help to improve rating.

They are well-funded and they are paying people to give fake positive reviews and those true negative reviews were buried, so for every negative review, they pay 5 people to give fake positive reviews.

I think presenting a legal and documented experience of people to the Appstore management will help them decide if they will remove Freewallet on AppStore, it's a big moral victory for the victims if they manage to take down Freewallet on that popular application store.

Thanks a lot for your active position! It's greatly important to make something, otherwise scammers will be able to find new victims, even if personally you know that some project is stealing assets, other people may not know about Bitcointalk or other places where they can find real reviews and opinions!

We prepared a short example of abuse.
It will take only couple minutes to send it to AppStore support:



Please remove Freewallet multi crypto wallet (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/freewallet-multi-crypto-wallet/id1274003898), Ethereum wallet by Freewallet (https://apps.apple.com/us) from the AppStore /app/ethereum-wallet-freewallet/id1126843840), Tether wallet by Freewallet (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tether-wallet-by-freewallet/id1394509043) and other applications of this developer.
Under the guise of crypto wallets, the administration of the Freewallet website came up with a fraudulent scheme that allows them to steal clients’ money. As soon as the user replenishes the balance, the wallet administration blocks the withdrawal and then ignores the victim’s requests and messages. Hundreds of people were deceived in this way. On large platforms and forums (Bitcointalk, Reddit) Freewallet has an extremely negative reputation. To protect users from being scammed, we ask you to delete application data.

And yeah, this wallet should be boycott, there are lots of scam accusation solve and unsolved against this wallet, people working there should be ashamed of what they are doing.

They will never be ashamed, that money they're earning will always be their priority next to their dignity. They are in no way going to starve themselves to keep that dignity plus most of the people working there don't even know a thing or two about their services or they didn't bother to learn, the point is that not all of them are complicit to the shit that Freewallet is doing maybe the the top level employees or the boss but not the low level ones. I did my due diligence of reporting them but it seems it's going to take a long time before this can be done. Did the same thing that @rohang did, shared it with some of my friends.

[stafstor]

They will never be ashamed, that money they're earning will always be their priority next to their dignity.

I agree with you. Some usual employees may even not know about the scam scheme. And "top managers" may get enough money to not think about their job.

[stafstor]

not all of them are complicit to the shit that Freewallet is doing maybe the the top level employees or the boss but not the low level ones.

We've found lots of evidence that Freewallet scams customers systematically. That's why actually I am not sure if their support (for example) don't know that they are commiting fraud.

[stafstor]

Seems like AppStore and some other services got interested in facts of Freewallet scam. If anyone has experienced this fraud and is ready to provide info to AppStore support, please contact us!

[stafstor]

Despite numerous requests, the AppStore support service has not yet even given a clear answer. But there is a question here: did any of the Freewallet scam victims support our initiative and send similar abuses?

[masha_fulle]

I don't understand what is the task in this thread. Is it some other Petition? Can't find a link to it.
I never used Apple Store, so probably if I write them, they won't understand what is my issue...

Here is a simple instruction:

It will take 5-10 minutes. But this gives us a chanse to remove scammers from AppStore, so that they won't be able to find new victims.
Thank you!

OK!!! I will try! but actually do not feel like that would help(

The app is not down yet, that means even after so many reports they are continuing their operations without any hassle. An app that has so many scam complaints against it is not being taken down which is really disappointing. However, everyone should keep reporting this app, if the appstore decides to take down this app it will be good news for the crypto community.

I still cannot comprehend why people are still using custodial wallets in 2024. Their rating in the App Store is really low. This will at least make  a lot of people hesitate before they decide to trust them with their money. A wallet locking people out of their account and asking for KYC is a massive red flag but they can use the excuse that they are doing it for compliance reasons and Apple or Google won't look into it much further. The best users can do is bring more awareness and leave bad reviews on their app store pages.

Post your complaints and stories about Freewallet scam on sitejabber.

The owners of Freewallet org spend a lot of money on advertising. In particular, they massively post custom reviews and laudatory comments. One such site is Sitejabber.com. If you look at all the reviews published there, you will notice many flattering comments in which the “client” praises the application.

And this is clearly not true. But there are also dozens of complaints from victims of the Freewallet scam on sitejabber. We contacted the resource administration with a request not to advertise the application. And our complaint was heard. Administrators have published a warning about the presence of custom reviews on Freewallet. We encourage you to leave your comments there too!

Please spend several minutes to add your complint on Sitejabber. It's actually one of the trusted sources for new customers. But it contains much of comments that advertise Freewallet.

A wallet is scamming so many crypto users but their app is still in the app store without any problem making it more dangerous for crypto users. There have already been many reports from the crypto community to take down this app but no effective effect has been seen yet, I highly doubt that any more reports will show the effect.

But the crypto community should keep reporting and take down this dangerous app for new crypto users. Now is the time for the crypto community to show solidarity, and remove from the crypto world anything that is harmful to the crypto community.

That's true. AppStore moderators aren't Freewallet clients. So that it may be hard for them to understand what KYC scam is. That's why we have to send them our reviews and materials about this sort of fraud.

It is also important to send abuses to other authorities, including:
* NameCheap.com (domain registrar of Freewallet org)
* CloudFlare (they help Freewallet to hide real IP's)
* ICANN
* NFIB and local police aithorities.

It's also important to post your complaints everywhere!
