Honestly, i hate when some ICO or airdop event required KYC things.
Recently, POLYMATH NETWORK also forced their member to do KYC before join the airdrop.

It is not good from bounty managers to ask for KYC because we are in crypto due to anonymous and if we share our documents where is anonymity. we are only promoting them and not put any money then why KYC required.
- file a report with your local police department
It is not necessary to call the police if you've been a victim of this kind of fraud. Most problems will be easily resolved without the police. For example if someone has been using your card you can just contact your bank and you will get your money back (they will either make a chargeback or will have to pay you from their own money). Everything aboun checking your real identity is a problem of a service provider and you should never take any expences on it. Ofcourse you should check the background of the bounties you are working on but do not take it too serious.Why not? I mean you don't loose money, it's free. I would feel way more secure if the police knows that somebody could have commit a crime in my name.

The fact that some people are even entertaining this is ridiculous. Oh well if you're dumb enough to give out your private info to people on bitcointalk then so be it 
This is scare problem, our identity will can be committed on a crime.
There are many people give here the identity information like an airdrop and exchange site.
This is a serious topic, be careful to give our personal information.

Thanks for sharing this information. In my opinion this is a very important topic and I dont believe that people started giving out there ID information to participate on AirDrops. I mean seriously why would you ever do that? Guys dont be that stupid and give your sensible information to completely strangers. Take care of your personal information!!

This is very useful thanks.
I was hoping one day to make it to 'Member' to be able to participate in bounties but this news may just knock that in the head.
It should be mandatory for every ico / bounty to tell you in advance if KYC is needed.
And what if scam campaigns are requiring the KYC? Do you think people will be safe for that if KYC will be strictly be done by all of the campaign, KYC is been discouraged to be use in bounty not unless if the coin project show some transparency and make sure 100% that the collected identity will be safe or burn after they finish to audit the people who participate nor invested on their project.

If before KYC was only ICO then now everywhere they try to give it to fill. Personally, I dont like this situation and do not want to send my data to different people. It's one thing when it is known in advance that this is to be done, But here everything becomes known only at the end
This is how the problem is now very urgent, since people who thus steal your data will not bear any responsibility, so first think or throw your data online.
Great post and the timing is perfect for this information to be spread, I have seen a few and a few ICOs asking for information to conduct a KYC, people need to be extremely careful when handing this information over especially to bounty campaigns and ICOs for the reasons that are outlined.
The exchanges such as Coinbase etc are a bit more credible when providing your information, just be careful.

I've already given up on the many projects reward that I promoted on social networks as a bounty hunter when they asked me to go through the KYC registration, I think it's very dangerous and I try not to participate in such projects anymore.
I think there is need to strike a balance in this regard, It was said that some bounties are not allowing some citizens of some countries to participate in their campaigns just because of regulations, I still don't know the solution to this but giving out ones personal data need to be at minimal
This development is indeed a problem for bounty hunters. Bounty managers do not inform the participants before they start the campaign. KYC becomes mandatory at the end of the campaign, when you are waiting for your reward.
Nowadays, internet environment is well wrapped by the fraudulent. Everyone should be very careful about this matter. Thank you for the info.
If that's hows it going to be I will quit doing bounties. What is the reason behind it?
As we all know many bounties/ICO's are not created by the most trustworthy person's and I'm sure there are people who would sell your info in a blink of an eye for the right amount.
I think that the developer will have said that about to avoid fraudulent activity in the ico. But this is totally wrong at all. Look at some project that has been turned into the fuckin scam project.

Uahpay was a scam project that had applied kyc verification to the investors and then the project turns into the scam project and developers are selling investors data to the web.
This is also the point that the various projects that KYC is requesting may not be right, so no one guarantees the participants in the KYC procedure that their data will not be sold to various commercial companies. It's quite a serious operation and procedures.
Giving your real identity is a really serious thing, we have our wallet address and as far as i know that is enough way to give our token to the bounty we join, we don't need to give our identity because this can use in a bad way. We need to be careful in our real identity .
