Freewallet scammers use another method to steal money!
Freewallet org is known for using KYC fraud to deceive clients. We have talked a lot about this type of fraud. But as one of the victims recently wrote, the wallet administration has other ways to steal users’ money. So it's time to once again warn readers about another common trick!
Inactivity fees
Previously, we focused on the fact that Freewallet scammers use KYC as an excuse to steal tokens and coins.
Briefly, the scheme looks like this:
1. The victim downloads Freewallet and receives a transfer to his address.
2. The administration blocks the withdrawal under the pretext that suspicious activity has been noticed on the account.
3. The victim is required to provide personal information and documents.
4. The victims send all this, but the administration only expands the list of demands.
As it turns out, KYC fraud is not the only method of deception by Freewallet scammers.
Here is a screenshot of a message sent to us by one of the victims. The administration of the wallet began to write off coins without warning, allegedly because the client had not used the application for a long time. This situation in itself seems absurd: no blockchain charges fees for inactive addresses. Moreover, many normal applications have built-in staking plans that allow users to earn money while they are not using their coins and tokens.
But in case of Freewallet it’s just another method of scamming users!
