FreeWallet.org SCAMS MILLIONS [MUST READ] - Αdvertisement - Jun 12, 2017
TELL EVERY PERSON YOU KNOW WHO IS INVOLVED WITH CRYPTO. OVER 15 MILLION AND COUNTING HAS BEEN STOLEN BECAUSE OF THIS APP/"WALLET"
https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/6gtrmd/freewalletorg_scam_millions_stolen/
Posted 3 hours ago - I didn't see anything about it on HF so I'm posting it now.
If you use FreeWallet from the Appstore it is changing every outgoing Tx Address to this address: https://etherscan.io/address/0x11b85b4e2fadaebe04a251377aa35b9be3c785f0
EDIT: The address above I believe stopped receiving and now it has gone to this address: -CHECK BOTTOM OF POST-
8 million balance (just sent out 6k Ether) and growing every second.
If you have used Freewallet, you've been FUCKED. Sorry.
"freewallet = bytecoin = minergate = changelly = hitBTC"
EDIT: I'm referring to the FreeWallet app on the Apple store - not sure if it's on android/happening on android or what.
I know majority of you don't use FreeWallet, but I'm assuming some of you do as it's #1 wallet when you search Ethereum.
EDIT2: IF YOU USE FREEWALLET.ORG: DO NOT, I REPEAT: D-O N-O-T try and send out any Ethereum at the moment. Something is hacked, and you will lose Ether. Your best bet is to try and restore your wallet with your phrase, remove the app completely, and send the Ether to a new wallet. Everything is new, we don't know what is going on, what exactly is being hacked, and who is doing the scamming.
EDIT 3: First address has stopped, it has switched to these:
https://etherscan.io/address/0x7ed1e469fcb3ee19c0366d829e291451be638e59 - receiving the payments
https://etherscan.io/address/0x56ada7f872d2ff4e7965300f3ddd9bc4c8811fba - Involved
https://etherscan.io/address/0xcc14d25fae961ced09709be04bf13c28db3ff81b - Involved
Obvious lie about "Ethereum being DDoSed"

Something has been hacked. So far that account has 10mil and is growing every minute.
Pretty good payday for the people doing this.

It's so big, it'll cause a ETH dump I figure. If it goes public that is. Such a scandal will hit the entire crypto market quite hard tbh.

By looking that they made close to 10,000,000 already so am I pretty damn sure that ETH will take a HUGE hit in price.

Even if the app is hacked so is the owners probably in a huge risk already (Not saying that the owners didn't plan this)

Alert them and tell them NOT to send their coins because the app changes the adress

This is why you use official or opensource wallets guys.
