Just do a search for scamming in this forum, i.e.:
http://www.proz.com/forum/946
There are numerous posts, regularly showing up from time to time. In all those incidents freemail adresses (and hacked CVs...) are involved because, and here I repeat myself, their IP adresses from the sending hosts cannot be tracked (and I assume you know how easily you normally can make them visible in the mail headers).

The only specific risk - which you mention and, to my calculations, highly unlikely - is that someone can "borrow" a freemail account.
Yet, even in such a case, the only risk for the freelancer is a possible loss of an order.


A possible loss of an order? Or a possible loss of three clients, twenty friends ... or ...
I suspect you don't know what an identity theft is.
