The system supposed it "suspicious" and they don't wanna give me any cent back without proper "identification". They even draw up their TOS that they have right to suspend your account at any time (and this time comes after first withdrawal!).

This is their modus operandi and it has been going on for years, and in the end it all boils down to how persistent the client is to get their funds back. I don't know how much that $100 means to you, but if you can survive without it, don't risk your documents and probably several months of delays that you can expect from them.

I know of many cases where much larger amounts were involved and where everything ended up positive in the end, but as I already wrote, the question is how much someone actually values their privacy and the time that needs to be invested to convince them that you are not a suspicious person.

Hello all, just wanna warn you about Freewallet.org
[snip]
Well thank you for the warning but an old member here in the forum knows that this custodial wallet is a scam. [freewallet.org]
Never be fooled next time by the name [free wallet] because that is a scam.
Just research the name of the wallet here in this section and you will find out a lot of threads created against them --also their forum representative has a lot of negative tags and red flags as well. [ https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/freewallet-1177176 ]

Hello all, just wanna warn you about Freewallet.org
I have been a bit stupid to use it without looking through this forum beforehands  Sad
You don't have to be here, you just need to do some research before you deal with any project and with that, you can easily know if its safe or not.

That freewallet scammed many people already, I don't know why many still fall on that trap but something is really convincing with that site, so better to be more careful next time, do some research first and you can easily do this with google, you can see a lot of information there, this is a lesson for you.

This site has scammed also... Elon Musk! Find below a full description of the issue.
https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2021/02/10/elon-musk-bites-back-at-freewallet-after-dogecoin-tweet/
At the end he receive back his coins, but it's incredible how they tried to fool even one of the richest and most famous men on a planetary level! They received also a bad promotion in several social networks.

I believe that many "falls" into their trap also because there is an "open source" version (not managed by them) that allows you to directly manage the private/seed keys .... freewallet.io

If your wallet has this in its TOS this is a big warning, this is not a casino where they implement their own rules I agree that custodial is a high-risk wallet that you should only use when you have a big trust in who's running the custodial wallet, investors should first understand the wallet they are using and get familiar with all their features and history, Cryptocurrency is all about we being our own bank and not trusting our coins to those who can access it.

I dont understand why do people still use freewallet ?
Because they don't know what they are dealing. They have no idea what is the difference between a custodial and non-custodial wallet. Some of them even don't know how to store  their private key safe. I saw them to save their private key on Google drive. A small group of people are only aware about securing their cryptocurrency.

I dont understand why do people still use freewallet ? Hoping it's not because of the word free in their name. Anyway, they're known scammers. OP you should have done a simple google search before using it.

A custodial wallet is not recommendable. The company that provide the wallet has the keys, and the coins are not yours on blockchain. Which means they have control over your money and you have not full control, they have the full control over your own coins.

Freewallet is not a reputable wallet since many years ago till now.

Hello all, just wanna warn you about Freewallet.org
I have been a bit stupid to use it without looking through this forum beforehands  Sad The site sleeps your caution by professional design and Google play/Apple apps. What they do is just block your crypto after trying to withdraw any funds. When you deposit it all looks OK. I got account suspension after the very first transaction for withdrawing funds to ETH wallet (about $100 value). The system supposed it "suspicious" and they don't wanna give me any cent back without proper "identification". They even draw up their TOS that they have right to suspend your account at any time (and this time comes after first withdrawal!).
