Topic: Freewallet.org SCAM accusations - a compilation (Read 615 times)

Looks like some sort of a scam actually.
It's ok to verify reviews (for example ask for screenshots, proving that you are a customer). But its not ok to ask for users data. Escpecially if we talk about scam accusations.

Yes, that's right, I took a test. After you write your review on the first page and proceed to the next page, there are mandatory fields required to complete the review:
Name *
Email Address *
Phone No *
Country *



This doesn't look good to me.

I haven't submitted any review using the site yet, but If I understand well, I think they discourage people from including their personal detail in the review description area. Now, once someone proceeds by submitting the review, they will be asked to enter their phone number or email address to "curb" spam. Maybe that's what they meant based on stafstor's findings.

I checked again. You cant send a review without providing phone #
This field is required.

Yes it's a bit suspicious because they contradict themselves on the same page, at the top they say "Rest assured, your personal information will not be shared" and at the bottom they say "Do not include any personal information, such as your name, email address, and contact details" !!!

As you said, everyone understands “personal information” to mean information such as phone numbers, email addresses, or names!!!

Frankly, I don't know. Either they are lying or they do not know what they are saying because this is a clear contradiction.

So how exactly do they fight spam or fake reviews?

It's a little confusing because somewhere else they say that

In this case which personal information are they referring to if not the phone number, email addresses or names?

Sorry I probably entered the website in other way so I ve seen that phone number is required.
I ll check again

There is no need for your phone number. The review does not require you to provide any personal information. On the contrary, they ask you not to include any personal information. See quote and photo:

Hi! Please, allow customers to make reviews without providing their phone number. We know many users who lost coins but they won't trust their personal data to any website.

I also agree with your post. Many people are afraid to provide their phone numbers. There should be other way to verify real customers.

Requiring phone number for registration is next to KYC and stacking numbers for marketing ads. Looks like SheldonCobb is the owner or a similar like manager of this site, i suggest you to remove that phone requirements, phone number as optional requirement is enough.

Thanks, never met this website before. Why do they require phone number and alternative phone number?

Elon Musk fell prey to the FreeWallet scam. Unbelievable he didn't take a moment to research prior to using it.

But they fixed it within an hour. If any of us plebs would have had this issue, they'd be waiting forever.

Hi javaloami,

The transfer was sent to the non-Freewallet address of the Segwit format.

Please note that Freewallet has not changed any details on its side. All changes took place on the side of the user interface which could be affected by malicious extensions of browser. We continue to investigate the incident.

Someone should bump this thread in the B&H section every day.

Hello,
Responding to these accusations, I'd like to indicate the status of resolution for each one of them:

01. FreeWallet.org Scam - Millions stolen

No funds were stolen.  The reason our users got worried is because they checked their wallet balances on the blockchain explorer and found out the funds aren't there. However, the address displayed in the app is a so-called "hot wallet" used for receiving transactions. Therefore, this movement of funds was rebalancing between different cold storages.

02. FREEWallet.org SCAM ( Don't use any of their iOS or Android APP)

This post is reiteration of the previous item about 'stolen' millions. So, read the explanation above.

03. FREEWallet.org BIG SCAM, THIEF'S ( Don't use any of their iOS or Android APP )

These transactions were in progress in conditions of a heavy congestion on the network. After a while, they were completed.

04. Freewallet.org is a SCAM

Although there is no account of resolution, I believe that the XEM and STEEM transactions were refunded as in such cases (no payment ID being put) we complete them manually. LSK transactions were completed as it is indicated in the post.

05. Freewallet is SCAM

A complaint to crediting Ignis airdop. Unfortunately, I am not able to track the data of this user in our system now. However, Ignis coins were automatically credited to all NXT holders who had maintained a balance by the time the fork took place.
