Freewallet has again been accused of stealing a huge amount from a user’s wallet. This time we are talking about an amount of about 70,000 USDT. But, although the high-profile story happened recently, it is worth noting that this is not the first or even the most egregious case of theft of assets from a wallet.

Freewallet is an application designed to steal assets.

A few years ago, the first victims spoke publicly about how the administration fraudulently took away their savings. As soon as a user receives a large transaction, Freewallet freezes the account. When asked about the reason, the client is usually told that it is all due to suspicious activity. To prove that the wallet really belongs to the owner, the user is asked to undergo verification.

In general, the main advantage of crypto wallets over bank accounts and payment systems is anonymity. But the very fact of the need for verification for Freewallet clients could still be explained by concern for their security.

It’s impossible to pass the Freewallet KYC procedure!

Support requires application clients to provide a photo or scan of documents (for example, ID). But as soon as the user sends the file, the administration suddenly changes the requirements. Clients are beginning to be required to take photographs and selfies against the background of documents, inscriptions on pieces of paper, bank account statements, and documents confirming residence at the specified address.

If the user also provides them, support begins to find fault with the quality of photographs and scans. If this does not stop the victim, the support begins to ignore the messages… or demands that they go through verification again.

Victims end up losing their assets!

Frewallet is still scamming users

Although the first accusations against this application appeared back in 2017, many people still use this wallet to store and send tokens and coins. Thus, new victims appear every day. The other day a client named Elena contacted us. She was supposed to receive 68,000 USDT. But immediately after the transaction was completed, Freewallet blocked the wallet. No documents provided helped to return the stolen money. It is obvious that the administration did not initially plan to unfreeze the assets.
