I have seen evidence of some scams being run under the guise of KYC in order to gain your passport and government issued id's. Be careful out there and remember that a lot of these coins end up being scams. Do you really want them having your passport/photo identification? This is how people fall victim of identity fraud so please think before sending your information in.
im hesitant too to submit kyc in bounties and referral campaigns , so before i join any of them i ask if they will require kyc for participants. youre right we should be careful to whom we send our personal ids.

Beware from scam ICO! don't submit your identity in random project and i know that KYC is very sensitive issue because we need to secured our personal identity. But legitimate project always asking KYC in ico investment or bounty campaign. I believe KYC is positive symptom to growing our community.

Simple don't provide your KYC to any website you feel is less than trustworthy, typically if the team themselves are public facing and can hence be held accountable for their actions, then they will be less included to take advantage of your KYC information. That being said, it is completely possible that a rogue agent within any organization can siphon off KYC data and begin selling it on the dark web for example, but this can be said with literally any company, the odds just decrease with the size of the company.
And how do we feel that some websites is more safe to show our kyc ??

Thank you for the warning. But I often choose prestigious projects to participate so that KYC is not afraid, with KYC only id photos they do not harm themselves.
Prestigious projects

And wich are the prestigious?, ico are just ico !!
There is no way to know wich ico is so called prestigious.
Its gambling.

This have been discussed to many times, but for those who are reading this for the first time- DO NOT DO KYC FOR BOUNTY.
Red flag is that they are attempting to collect kyc data on their own website ,this is just absurd, dont go for that.
If their are legit, they will use respecting KYC company to do this work who will protect the data.

Mate, there's purposes why other bounty campaigns required KYC for bounty participants to get the bounty rewards. First is we know that there are many member are cheaters by using multiple account. If you don't want to do KYC it is up to you, find the project that don't need KYC.

be careful with the use of KYC because it can later be misused by irresponsible people. I hope you have to be more careful about the use of this kyc ... and keep in mind that now is the biggest scam season where many projects are not responsible
Well, there is a lot of new information starting now, because now the market really is full of projects that steal our data and then send it or sell it, I do not know for sure, but it seems to me, because there are places where there are a lot of things.
that's a number of reasons that make me discouraged from filling in kyc. because self-identity is a privacy that other people should not know. for me a bounty, just with wallet and also bitcointalk and telegram profiles.
The ones who asking you to provide kyc are the secret agents who work for the goverment 100% yes they pretending to be just innocent crypto enthusiast.. but no !!
What we must undestood is this if someone is using your kyc to do something bad or creating the fake identity document he must have the knowledge and support by law enforcement or secret services !!
World biggest fake document providers are the secret service agents their selfes !!
Yes they can pretend like they are some criminals and street wise... but they are not !!
They are very informed and skilled people.
Dont think the criminals do criminal activities nop... they are not some poor criminals who try to make some money, they are well informed and very organized people.
Offcourse we dont know who they are because they know how to look like average joe.
But in fact they are not !!
So people stop this foolish thinking like btc has made by some free thinkers .... the whole crypto currency is made by goverment and its fully supported by the goverment.
And identy scams happening only for one reasons... to make you proof your identy even more !!

I avoid the KYC. For bounty hunters with heads, some projects are rather vile. They announce the necessity for the KYC at the end of bounty. I see this as a sign of fraud, nothing more.
I dont trust ico teams anymore. even if they are very well known in social media or in this ecosystem, i don't risk my personal details. i dont give my private information to anybody. because i have seen that some people sold passport details of ico participants.
Certainly very dangerous if KYC is misused for fraud or other crimes. KYC is an important document about someone's personal data that should be for official and real purposes. Beware of anticipating every request or requirement using KYC!!
