Topic: 🔴 🔴 🔴 Attention: KYC for Bounties 🔴 🔴 🔴 - page 3. (Read 1114 times)
Thanks for the helpful information, but as you well know, almost all ICO projects require KYC to pass through when investing in it. What now, do not invest anywhere?
There are still bounty campaigns which require you to do a KYC. And if there are scams even in ICOs, there will also be scams in bounty campaigns. Even if the project looks promising, there should be a passage in the "general conditions/terms" that they are gonna remove your data after verification. But those bounty campaigns appear to be quite scarce.
KYC + Cryptocurrency = Government
Honestly KYC I personally think it's shit...
Like crypto is meant to be anonymous and have control.
ICO that need KYC may be due to regulations of government.
Always keep your identity safe. As you never know what can they do with it.
Sell it to data companies?
Sell it at darknet?
Always check the project you're giving your identity with and read their privacy policy before giving it out as mention above this is a very good informed post. Whatever it is people will try to make money this is one of the way. KYC is shit.

The first identity is a hundred percent true!
I still hope that anonymous currencies will progress day by day. Crypto is about lack of freedom, though money hunters of'course are))
To be honest I don't understand why do bounty campaigns require KYC for participants. I know that ICO projects may be asked by regulators to provide information about contributors, but not bounty members. Frankly I hate situations when a bounty campaign recuires to get through KYC after the work is already done.
For Airdrop, giving your valid identification details is scary. For bounty, if the project is legit and the developer are well known and respectable individual in other businesses, then I think it is safe.
Thanks for the +Merit.
More people need to know about this risk as many of them still are giving away their IDs for airdrops or Telegram bounties.
In my country it often happens that intruders on the basis of scanned copies of passports receive a loan. As a result, the owner of documents suffers, he either pays out a loan or conducts a lawsuit for his rightness. I believe that the provision of a driver's license for KYC is acceptable, it is dangerous to provide a passport. More people need to know about this risk as many of them still are giving away their IDs for airdrops or Telegram bounties.
This issue is given in many other countries. Even uploading your driver's license is dangerous as it is accepted as identity verification for many governmental and private institutions.
I don't think just diver license is that important, at least in my country. But when you send everyihng wit selfie that means something.
Even investors should be careful about it. I wouldn't do that for just some bounty.
Even if the reward is very tempting, I will not give my documents that easy. People should keep in their mind that their personal information is a precious as their life so don't ever let anyone have it especially in this cryptocurrency world.
Thanks for the +Merit.

Creating an awareness by putting things out there in black and white, has really brought home the risks involved in blindly joining campaigns and bounties, trusting them with all or any personal information. Identity theft cheats one on many levels, financial, psychological, personal and emotional. Awareness and caution can avoid unnecessary trauma, and i think most everyone reading thanks you for the same.

Yes, the question of personal data is very serious. If the project requires the passage of KYC to receive a reward for participating in the campaign bounty, then this can already cause alertness. Providing scans of documents in order to get their pennies is an unreasonable risk.
great info thanks for sharing this
More and more bounty campaigns want you to do a KYC and send them all your personal data (id card, driver's license, address, phone number...).
Guys, don't easily give your personal data away and risk an identity fraud or identity theft.

"Identity fraud is the use by one person of another person's personal information, without authorization, to commit a crime or to deceive or defraud that other person or a third person. Most identity fraud is committed in the context of financial advantage, such as accessing a victim's credit card, bank or loan accounts. False or forged identity documents have been used in criminal activity (such as to gain access to security areas) or in dealings with government agencies, such as immigration. Often today, the identities of real persons are used in the preparation of these false documents."
It simply means that someone can use your identity to commit crime in any possible way.https://i.imgur.com/JK2bpVd.png

second that. dont share kyc for bounties as you are not token buyer.
Although KYC can prevent multiple account user participants to a certain extent.
However, these reward managers and the ICO team cannot guarantee the safety of our KYC data, so it is dangerous for me to submit the information.

KYC is good but bounties should really specify if they need it not before hand.

For me, I think its much better that KYC should be for all investors only not for bounty hunters..
