EXTORTION & FRAUD: Freeward Support blackmails users to delete reviews for a $67 payout
I am writing this comprehensive, honest review to warn the entire online community about the fraudulent, predatory, and abusive practices of Freeward.net and their offerwall partner, Torox. --- PART 1: THE COMPLETED OFFER & SYSTEMATIC "LEAD SHAVING" --- On April 11, 2026, I started the "Rise of Kingdoms" offer on Freeward via the Torox offerwall (Torox ID: 586327). The terms of the offer allowed 25 days to complete the milestones. I invested my own real money ($20 - $30 USD) into the game to progress. During this process, every lower-tier milestone (including purchases and the 2 Million Power milestone) tracked and credited instantly. My last paid milestone was on April 21. On April 22 (just 11 days after installation, well within the 25-day limit), I successfully completed the final and highest-paying milestone: "Unlock any level IV (T4) troops" (worth 67,178 points / ~$67). Torox instantly marked this final, high-value milestone as "Expired" on their system. This is a classic, malicious ad-tech practice known as "lead shaving"—where the platform tracks and pays out cheap milestones to build trust, but pockets the advertiser's payout on the highest-paying tier. --- PART 2: UNDENIABLE PROOF IGNORED FOR 2 MONTHS --- For nearly two months, I have been pleading with Freeward and Torox support to manually credit my account. I provided them with bulletproof visual evidence: • Governor ID: 224535029 (Matching my registered session). • Academy Screen: Showing Level IV "Samuray" fully completed (1/1). • Barracks Screen: Showing 39,273 active Level IV Samurai troops (marked with gold Roman numeral "IV"). Despite this, both support teams engaged in finger-pointing. Freeward claimed they cannot do anything, while Torox hid behind automated advertiser rejection templates. --- PART 3: ILLEGAL EXTORTION (SHANTAJ) & INSULTS --- After two months of being ignored, I left an honest negative review on Trustpilot. The response from Freeward Support was shocking and a direct violation of Trustpilot's Merchant Terms of Service regarding user coercion and review gating. Freeward Support sent me an official email calling me "ungrateful" and explicitly blackmailing me to remove my review before they would offer any assistance: "Hi Kerme Çatlı, You are ungrateful... We won't follow up anymore until you remove the review..." Instead of acting as a reputable business, Freeward is holding my hard-earned $67 payout hostage and using illegal extortion to artificially manipulate their Trustpilot rating. --- HOW TO SEE THE PROOF --- Trustpilot does not allow external links in reviews. However, I have already submitted the complete email headers and screenshot proof of this extortion directly to Trustpilot's Content Integrity / Compliance Team. For public proof, simply search on Reddit (r/GetPaidToPlay) for my post titled: "WARNING: Freeward Support extorts users, calls me "ungrateful" and holds $67 payout hostage until I delete my Trustpilot review [PROOF INSIDE]". Stay far away from Freeward.net and Torox. They participate in fraud, and they will insult and blackmail you if you complain about your missing money. drive. google.com / file/d/16WSt9XCkRmRtRawjKmSLIn8xS-t85GeV/view?usp=sharing Just read this, I've been incredibly patient with them. At first, they said strange things like T4 units unlock at castle level 25, and that I'd already received my payment. I was kept waiting like crazy during this process, I got angry, and there's still no payment. There's concrete evidence that the payment hasn't been made. They openly admit that if the platform rejects it, they can't do anything. In short, they're complicit in the fraud. Edit 15.07.2026 Even though it was undeniable that I had completed the offer—and despite knowing that Torox was stalling me—they never made the payment and failed to stand by their users. Many professional platforms would issue a manual payment in such a situation; at one point they offered half the amount, but I refused. They host the Torox platform, which scams its users; you can present concrete proof that they acknowledge and even forward to Torox support, yet when you still don't get paid, they simply say, "If Torox doesn't pay, there's nothing we can do." When a user reports this on Trustpilot, they call them ungrateful and threaten not to pay unless the complaint is removed. Stay away from this platform, especially for high-paying offers. Look, I’ve been messaging these people almost every day since April 22nd, and lately, they haven't even been replying to my emails. If I had known, I would have completed this offer on a different platform—one that stands by its users and issues manual payments even if Torox fails to pay.
