Topic: ICO scammers, Sell your uploaded KYC ID documents, adress for a lot of money. - page 2. (Read 3569 times)

This is true lots of scam or fake ICOs implement KYC just to gather the information about you just to gain more info about you and use it for their purposes in the future. So you should beware where you upload your information. The KYC is usually requested if the project succeeded already then yes but before that it is pointless. For example my last search DexAge ICO for the decentralized p2p escrow trading exchange is considered to implement KYC too but not before they finish their project and go out on the market so that looks right as it should be.

That’s not a new thing, people has been doing that before this one. There are some sites you will give your information and they will be selling it online, trust me a lot of sites does that and you might be aware of it.

There are sometimes you start getting emails from unknown senders (including those mails in your spam section) that’s because your information was given out to them. You can’t tell me they did magic to get it, that’s because you have your info to the wrong site and they are now selling it. Never trust anyone these days.

This is really sad  and bad that is why many bounty hunter  dont like KYC bounties .. this is really  dangerous so we must be careful when its comes to those KYC project We must do diligent check  to make sure the project  is solid and from right source before we  can Submit KYC ..   

 have always been wary of such projects, and I try to avoid them, of course, I don’t trust people I don’t know, and I don’t understand how they will use my documents.

I just realized that these fake ICO projects are hitting two birds with one stone. First is if they managed to pull of the scam project with many investors and then collect all their personal data and sell it in a blackmarket like probably in deepweb.

They disadvtanges of having KYC like this they use the information of the people. I think this is the time to get equal rights between the investor and the ICO team or the project. Because for me I need to hide my information because it is confidential. Those scammer I hope will stop for selling KYC ID documents of the people who already uploaded they need to be fair.

So, how to anticipate that? while the average project asks for kyc at the end after the bounty is finished. with reasons distribution token

Honestly, I still don't understand why these ICOs make us hold up our documents in selfies like a mugshot as we are already criminals. I am beginning to avoid projects that ask for KYC, expect it is an already established project. Enough of these scumbags.

I agree with you that this is a serious case and is a dangerous crime.
there should be a policy to protect user data. increasingly convinced that KYC is the biggest mistake.

Yes, it was quite predictable. This topic was created in August last year, and now we have a massive sale on the Internet of our identification data, which cryptocurrency users provided on exchanges and in the ICO projects. For ten dollars you can buy hundreds of such data checks KYC, and if you buy in large quantities, it will be even cheaper.
What will those who welcome the KYC check for bounty hunters say now in order to avoid multi-accounts? Which of these problems is more serious? It seems to me that it is obvious that such a problem is KYC.

I have always treated KYC with fear and have never passed it, I participate in bounty companies and very often I meet those companies where necessary, and I just drop them, in our world who can not be trusted, and even more so to give my data.

Often this does not help anymore. They make all those platforms themselves. Then they buy 10,000 friends, subscribers, likes and views for $ 50 on the internet.
Many platforms such as ico rating websites are also owned by scammers. Where it seems that the project has a high rating.
Even with partnerships, it seems a legal ico. But often these partner websites are also fake to fake the ico. Or become partners of other scam projects that are also of their own.

This is how i check if it is a scam project or have doubts:
I almost only use the technical things that the internet also has. The hidden things that you do not see when you visit a website.

1 ... viewdns.info On this websites I use all the options what they offer. Within 2 minutes you already have a clear answer if you better avoid a crypto project. I already find answers 8 out of 10 times.
2 ... You are not completely sure yet. Then do a google reverse-analytics check. ist a code that looks like ua-15589237 or sometimes ua-15589237-1. This is a code that the webmaster can build in the website to analyze internet traffic. This code can be installed on any website by a webmaster. But it can also show many other secrets that dnsinfo did not show. Namely, all websites where the webmaster uses his code to keep track of information about the internet traffic can be viewed. https://dnslytics.com/reverse-analytics.
3... Of the team members open in all photos in a new window so that they get to see the original size. There I check the face extensively when there is also photoshopped with eyes, beards, glasses and hair. You see unnatural things right away.
4 ... I copy all the text from the whitepaper. A piece of text written exactly between project names and paste this into google and search by word for word.
5 ... This is actually prohibited. This is only useful if they deliver something that must be safe. With Scam projects, the security of apps or web applications is often poor and you know that it can not be much.
That is attacking / hacking the system. The application with basic commands and tools attacks to test the vulnerability. Report allways a security problem to an admin on telegram via PM. If they dont solve something simple or do not change anything or convince you that it is safe and do not take you seriously.
Then you have the full right to destroy that application with vulnerables.
Assume that it is a scam project with people who are lax with security.

ID theft is real, a lot of ppl have faen victims to scammer icos.
If your privacy is such a concern don't share your information with strangers.

I totally agree. Scammers will without a shadow of a doubt try to get every penny out of their schemes. So you have to be extremely careful when investing/ disclosing this type of information. Make sure that the ICO has a solid office and a solid team that you can track via multiple platforms like linkedIn, Facebook telegram etc, etc. Do thorough research. Although there are some elaborate scammers out there, you can normally tell when something is fishy as most don`t go to extreme lengths to legitimize their front of being a legit ICO. Interacting on media platforms like telegram, whatsapp and twitter is another good way to figure out if they are scammers or not. Again, talking about the majority here but If they are a scammer, they will stumble on the more technical/ difficult questions as there will be no product to begin with, so be persistent, ask the same questions with different wording and if the answers are not similar/coherent/the same/doesn`t match with the white paper info then i would think twice before I give out the super personal information. Just a thought.

Give info to people!!

The safest thing is simply not to buy ICOs and do KYC



Who knows this project www.seele.pro? This is also a scammer, he used to have an online webshop from china www.dzhorlogesale.com went scamming people by sending counterfeit watches instead of the real ones

I couldn't believe what i see in this post and as i reflect on the picture, it changes my point of view about KYC now. If that is so, it's better to submit or participate in KYC required ICO again.

It is dangerous, I would need to be more careful with projects that require KYC they are taking advantage of people's data illegally. Is there a way to punish these scammers?

I think this should be address in some sort of section here in forum. Well, there may be some who sold the identity of the individual, and it is really indeed a bad action of the person behind it. Well, to avoid those kind of situation it would be good to first scan, and do some kind of judging before giving up your identity. In addition, it is also good to deceive your own identity for your own good. Do not be honest at all time. Scammers are everywhere just ride with them as well.
