Anyone can confirm he's legit?

I tried to do the 1000$ money order with him and he canceled my order because I wouldn't FE... even though he said if I had good stats it wouldn't matter.

I'm a vendor BTW too and here's my stats...


Total transactions: 56
Total spent: $21305.47
Refund rate: 3.12%
Auto-finalize rate: 0%
Member for: 11 months

You can look at my long history of positive feedback and see I'm reputable.

I thought you were asking for cash in the mail, my mistake there, would've done a MO (don't require great stats for that).
Anyways, 3% + refund rate is pretty high and doesn't qualify as good buying stats imho.

**** I lowered the moneypak fees for people who want quick BTC for their MP codes, see "sell your Moneypak" listing

Just a warning to those thinking of using freemoney for large orders and FE'ing be careful!
My refund rate is now at 2.7% with over 24k spent on SR and he still refuses to do any deals without FE.
Seems to me like a scam waiting to happen sooner or later just keeps coming up with reason after reason as to why a customer should FE, oh wait he didn't even have a reason the second time...

We've provided cash conversion services to around 100 customers and have proven ourselves reliable and consistent when you need coin quickly.

"Imports" comments resulted because of 1) our refusal to send them $1000 cash in mail and 2) Refusal to do business with them at all due to the forum trolling.
It's like someone leaving bad feedback and then coming back and wanting to do more business with us, bad idea.

Although we don't need to provide reasons for refusing to do business with people, in this case we have plenty of reason to deny this person access to our cash conversion services.

We're now offering fast, anonymous, convenient  btc at a 15% rate for moneypaks $400 or more, Search freemoney or "sell your moneypak" on SR.

My comments are not a 'result' of you not wanting to do business with me.
My comments are simply a warning to users who attempt to exchange high amounts of BTC with you :)

this all started due to myself asking someone specifically to use MP as I knew they can be transferred into a PayPal account, what I was not aware was that they could only be transfer into US paypal accounts.

rather than ask the sender to reverse the transaction I decided to use freemoney's btc purchase scheme
i arranged with him to transfer to his paypal and transfer into mine/send btc to my mtgox (minus 20%)

after we arranged the deal, and we agreed 20%, and I would be sending a card with $800 he asked me to send them, sending 3 messages in 10 minutes.
Now that he's emptied my card he's telling me i have to pay a 50% commission. telling me the transaction amount is "too suspicious" for him, telling me they must have been obtained through fraud.

he was aware of every element of the situation before he took my $800, now suddenly he wants half my money?

this level of blackmail disgusts me.

watch out, i lost a lot of money here today...

this all started due to myself asking someone specifically to use MP . . .
We never completed the deal, apparently someone else with access to the # and cashed it before I got to it.
It seems Ninjew gained the MP number from someone who then got it refunded before I could process.
My MP service is for original purchasers of MP's only, no second hand codes allowed.

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY -
I'm offering 4% return on BTC investments of 70 or more yielding loads onto your debit card.
Here is a list of qualifying cards: https://www.moneypak.com/WhoAccepts.aspx
Often they will give you a virtual card I could load if you recently ordered the card and it hasn't arrived yet.
I need $965 in BTC to give you $1000 in Debit loads. Only need card # and zip code, so not enough info to scam/use the card anyways.

Here is the relevant listing, it's more with SR feesthough: http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/item/2cd0b9235d

I don't follow the forums much, so pm on SR for response, or better, send the BTC, then pm with card info.

You want people to send you $965 in BTC first, and then you'll give them "card info"? 
No, as you can see in the link, the listing allows for escrow of the money, but SR fees will cut into the 4%.
Yes, to get full 4% profit, the customer needs to send BTC first (I won't send $1000 in loads before receiving BTC).
Investor needs to provide the card # and zip code in order to receive the loads.

Anyone with new experiences? His vendor feedback looks great, but I don't see a single positive thing here.

wondering the same.  the majority of experienced SR/forum members warn against these types of transactions, but seeing the impeccable feedback on a few of these money exchanging vendors makes it tempting to go this route for BTC

Did business with free money the other day. Had my load within 12 hours prob less but thats a safe guess. pulled money out no problem. I'll do business with him again for sure spoke with him on TC and just like any of us he is juggling a business and dealing with some of the sketchy people that surround us. Wouldn't it be nice if every just took what they earned and no one tried to get a free ride on someone elses  $$$ Thanks freemoney, ill be back again.
