Topic: ICO scammers, Sell your uploaded KYC ID documents, adress for a lot of money. - page 11. (Read 3585 times)

All i say is that i am very careful regarding to all of my informations before entering into some project that requires kyc,  most of it that i have observed is the https from search engine, without this https green i really don't trust website with less security that is made by some developers as a part of the project. Choose wisely. 

Unfortunately, I can say that the government such as America and China are also guilty of this, which means that you are constantly dealing with KYC / AML procces.
They impose rules that have not been thought about. Rules were introduced as a matter of urgency because they knew that they could miss out on a lot of tax money when bitcoin rose at an extremely fast pace. They have not even looked at new problems caused by these regulations.

They lay down rules such as KYC / AML to stop money laundering and tax evasion to keep criminals out. They know very well that there is no solution for this and there is never a solution to this. In reality, they just know that they can earn a lot of money from people who have a bit of altcoins or bitcoin.
Now that the American government finally earns their 30% tax from their citizens, they are happy and the rest of what happens does not matter much.
That these scam projects sell your data on the darkweb for even more bitcoin is very big because they know how it all works.

Because of all these senseless rules, your id data fall very easily into the hands of these criminal scammers, as a result of which it is precisely the decent citizens who fall victim to it. Probably you are not even helped by the government and you remain guilty and you have to pay for it. They know that you have crypto coins in your possession because you gave them honestly with the tax. Prove that the other 3 million dollar bitcoins are not yours and that someone has used your data to evade taxes

The government must solve this problem, I think. If they impose rules, they must immediately solve new problems arising from the regulations.


There is a big bug in the KYC / AML verification procces on exchanges or ico projects. This is the same on the largest exchanges. If you live in another country where the exchange is located, data can not be checked for authenticity at all. You get a fully approved verification even on the largest exchanges in the name of non-existent people. Name, surname, date of birth and citizen number on the front and back of your own ID card can be adjusted with photoshop to anything you want. Your own passport photo on the ID card simply leaves you original. You can get through this whole process without any problems.

They can better eliminate KYC / AML verification procces on exchanges and ico projects because it is a worthless system. They can not check personal data because they are legally not entitled to check personal data if you from a different country.

We should consider these actions. It will lead to bad results. Affects individual reputation. It is uncomfortable for bad guys to behave badly. And we should be alert and watch out for bad things to come.

Even if the exchange is reputable, like Kraken for example, you have to also have complete faith in their security. Given the number of hacks and leaks that occur daily, not just in crypto but across all online companies, the only safe course of action is to trust no one.

Who is crazy for sending his personal information to a new site/project that you just heard about some days ago and from which you don't know anyone working there. Better to sell your own ID yourself on the www at least you get some money. Privacy is costly nowadays

Yup, it is this reason why you are best to be very very very careful with your identity documents and information - don't just blindly give them out to a random stranger offering a few measly coins - it's not worth it and your life can be ruined by identity theft. It's just not worth it everyone - always be cautious with your identifying details.

Yup.  And these people who willingly give up pieces of their identity for projects whose origin and security is at best unknown are being stupid.  You just never know what they're going to do with that information--if the documents and photos end up on the dark web for sale, it isn't surprising in the least.

If signature campaigns ever start requiring KYC documents, that'll be the last time I participate in one.  I didn't even need this example to know that this could be the fate of my identity.  I was reluctant to provide Kraken with KYC info when they asked for it, and I ended up just not using their exchange because of it.  There is too much identity theft going on and if you don't know the people you're dealing with you're taking too much of a risk.  IMO no one should disclose their identity for a bounty.  Even if the project itself isn't selling info, they could easily get hacked.  Who knows what they do for security or with the information.

in particular, they can destroy families for their lives if you have to pay huge tax amounts because someone else has traded a lot on your name.

something needs to be done about this. This is a big serious problem.

I also think they steal your password and email addresses that you used to sign up for a scam ico account. which they try out for example your email address and trading accounts to steal money.

I'm a bounty hunter and sometimes the bounty management or the ICO teams requires me to do KYC but I only do the trustworthy ones like the ones managed by credible bounty managements like Amazix. Anyways, this kind of confirms what I thought was gonna happen when I did the KYC but I'm just hoping that I don't get arrested if I travel around the world or be dragged out of my country or get me shot out of nowhere and no reason I know.

It can take years to rebuild your life and credit after identity theft, yet people are willing to upload their documents to any random person that can make a website - be it an ICO, an exchange, whatever.

In an area where privacy is supposed to be one of the underlying principles, I will never understand why people are so willing to give up theirs.

This is the big risk when you just carelessly joining up bounty campaigns or ICO's which do ask KYC. You wont even know if they are legit or not or just pretending to launch to
get and collect users information or documentation. Checking on the price above each information do really cost good amount. This is a deepweeb url since its on .onion domain.
Im not surprised to see such thing into that place.

I am also concerned about the bounty hunting campaign that the bounty hunter has taken. I find that to be unreasonable, we are selling our information cheaply

I think that ICO scammers will not just take off with your invested money.

Probably also they selling your ID. proof of Identity + Selfie + proof of Residenz
Uploaded KYC ID documents + selfies and address data are sold with large quantities on the darkweb, which are probably collected via scam projects.

What do you think?.
