Hey rabbit_year
 I also have this same thing and Freewallet has taken 600$ from me and I am in iran ans this is alot of money, that I made through video editing with tears.

 Have used free walet sine 2020 and they say they added this inactive fee in 2022 and did not send me an email and they say they Don't have to because the changed text on website,  and they have unclear wording that may or may not allow it :

  We reserve the right to alter, amend or modify these Terms from time to time, in our sole discretion. We will provide you with notice of such changes by sending an e-mail, providing notice on the homepage of the Website and/or by posting the amended Terms via the applicable Freewallet websites and mobile applications and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of these Terms.

 And the only way to sue them is through Indonesian arbratation the Indonesian National Board of Arbitration ("BANI Arbitration Center") , the Arbitration would be under Indonesian law and not sure if under Indonesian law they can do this or not.

 Do you think it's worth it to file an arbratation case?

They are now located in Euro House, VC, Richmond Hill Rd, Kingstown VC0100, St. Vincent & Grenadines

This is as if today. They'll just keep moving around when the complaints start coming. I'll report them anyway, we might get our money back.

I signed up many years ago so the reviews that are coming out now didn't appear much back then 😭

I also thought I did my due diligence by depositing and withdrawing small amounts of coins before storing all my cryptocurrency in one wallet. It comes from everywhere including Binance, mining pools etc it's all there

More people need to report their rebranded FRWT app to the app stores

I think I saw people even complain to the law enforcement about their scam, but it didn't work. They are still operating their scam business, and unfortunately, people who do not check fall for their scams. It's because people mostly search with the keyword Free wallet and they appear on the first page. I assume you found their wallet same way.

The community cannot do much except be sorry for your loss. There are hundreds of complaints against these scammers. I wish all those victims would get together and fight against these scammers. It seems they are from Estonia.

Thanks for sympathizing, this post is to raise awareness, get suggestions and also so people researching Freewallet.org can find more info about their scam. It is very unfortunate that I didn't get any of this info years ago. I hope these scammers pay for their crimes. U

I am astonished this wallet is still running and continues to defraud people.

I just went to their play store page, and it seems like they have done some new trickery, now it's original release in 2024, and apparently it's 'non-custodial' now — but judging from reviews they can require kyc, can charge inactive fee, can suspend your account, can stop you from withdrawing — what kind of 'non-custodial' is this?

So obvious scam, yet continues to exist. It's absolute bollocks to me.

So many people have been decrying by freewallet's fraudulent tendencies. From 2018 sincerely you should have seen different kinds of complaints about the wallet from Reddit, blogs, different forums, review sites and app stores.

Secondly, why would you opt for a custodial wallet, yet we have some good open source noncustodial wallets. No custodial wallets give you the freedom to back up your wallets, and you can import them to any other software wallet that has a similar BIP standard.

I am not an active crypto trader, after I downloaded Freewallet, I just held my coins there believing they were a legit site. I just bought mostly the well known coins like Bitcoin as "investment ". Now, these were stolen from me .

I urge other victims to report their app called FRWT to Google Play and Apple store to take it down. And to contact Banxa which is their payment processor through Changelly, to get this scam operation banned.

Their app is now called FRWT. The last one probably receive ;Dd too many complaints. The usual action of scam artists like them is to keep repeating the same scheme under a different name.

I also found that the payment processor they use to handle orders is called Banxa. Let's report to Banxa, but they are not a merchant being a scam that they are, instead they are hiding under Changelly.

They go around in circles and hide behind fake fronts after fake fronts being the scam operation they are.

I'm another victim, I have created another thread with my story as well.

Freewallet_org suspended my account with $23k usd

I signed up to the Freewallet account back 2018. I initially deposited and withdrew small amounts of coins to make sure it was legit. All seems OK until a few months ago.

Freewallet started charging "inactivity fees" with no notice, and also suspended my account when I tried to withdraw.

To add salt to the woubd, the old app also is now redirecting people to a new app, and my old account cannot be accessed on the website because I signed up through Facebook back in 2018.

So I contacted support..

I got the runaround with the support team asking for more and more unreasonable information.

They are asking for screenshots from OTHER services where the coins came from complete with the hash.. few services retain these information!

In sum, my experience was:

- my account being suspended for unknown reasons with no notification
- inactivity fee that keeps getting charged, the account is inactive because it is suspended
- unable to login to the web version of the platform anymore through Facebook or Google
- app being "upgraded" and inability to access the old app in many instances
- the "upgraded" app is actually a different one where you need to create a new account
- support asking for information that is impossible to obtain for some people including myself
- basically making us jump through hoops to keep the funds in our account
- making people experience financial hardship when they were relying on  those funds.

I have submitted a report to New Zealand authorities regarding my funds being locked on the platform. 

I have also submitted a report to IC3. Other actions taken:
Report to Google Play and iOS
Go to the media with my story
Submit more complaints to law enforcement in relevant countries
Keep posting on Reddit and other platforms

If anyone has further suggestions on what we can do, I am keen to hear
