Topic: Sending in fake ID for KYC - page 22. (Read 89364 times)
If they are collecting the data from the KYC, then they are scamming you because the purpose of the KYC is to determine whether the users is a real one or a fake one.
Unfortunately some people make fake identities and send them to pass KYC. I have never used fake identities for KYC because I have never trusted shit icos or new exchanges. Always be careful about your personal informations.
The best solution to avoid information theft is to participate in good and reputable ICO projects. If we don't trust a project, we should not participate because its rewards will be very small
i actually never new about this or it never occur to me that one can actually send fake ID for verification 
all the while i normally send in my correct info for verification but after reading through this topic i kinda felt stupid for doing that, really what exactly do they do with our info after kyc? i think am done with project requesting kyc, i wont be given my personal information out to unknown project owners.

I just was brought up to speed on groups of people sending in fake/Photoshopped ID's by scanning public records to defeat the KYC process and it seemingly is very easy to do. It appears that many people sent in fake documentation to the Bob's and Polymath KYC and had no hassles. How do these companies verify people if all they have to go on is public information? Did they even really check the ID's or were they simply collected the data? How rampant do you think this is? How many of us are complete fools for turning in our documents when others simply faked it. Now they have our data and the people who faked it are still secure.
NOT FAIR.
NOT FAIR.
In many countries, the forgery of documents or the provision of other people's documents is prosecuted. I do not want to have problems with the law, so I give my documents, what others do is their business.
Sending fake data you are committed not only the wrong deed but also a crime. And also you are setting up a stranger to you, in whose place you can easily find yourself.
I am strongly against such things, because as you mentioned it is simply not fair against other participants. People are working hard and scammers with multi accounts and some docs are getting thee most possible rewards multiple times.
Kyc has been running for a long time and it runs safely without any constraints to the owner of Kyc, Kyc for an ICO / Crypto market project is held with the aim of avoiding money laundering
this is the truth

I have been thinking about this matter for a long time but I never dared ask. I've been rejected twice or twice I think from sending documents for KYC and been wondering if they really check and verify every documents we submit since there are thousands of participants submitting their documents for KYC, then will just tell you you cannot get your tokens because you failed in KYC. How stupid. Maybe those who fake theirs are more secure and safe than those who sincerely given their true identity. NOT FAIR.

In my own opinion, maybe people use to send fake ID or information for KYC they do not want to reveal their identities and to steal their identities. But i think it is really unfair that we are submitting correct and exact information for as to complete successful in our requirements, then they only use fake ID. NOT FAIR.
You or they can't fake every KYC in an ICO team.
There are some who are asking for the ID that you must be holding with a writing for the date.
Some should take a pic with same gesture of the hands on the picture.
Though if they are requesting just documents and ID it can be easily be cheated.
I think this is one of the solution found by the projects/companies to verify all application so users who will send fake information needs to think twice. I do not disagree with KYC verification but also not a fan of it.There are some who are asking for the ID that you must be holding with a writing for the date.

Now there is no trust to anyone on the cryptocurrency market, so no one wants to share their documents on the Internet. Some use photoshop to change personal data, while others simply buy ready-made selfies photos and id documents on black market. Unfortunately, sometimes kyc requirements are made in such a way that it becomes impossible to buy fake documents for them. 
Many bounty hunters pass fake i.d into projects with kyc because of the frequent reasons they have no i.d or because they have multiple accounts. so usually the bounty with kyc does not have enough members to work or promote their project. and the real reason why there is kyc to avoid the scam but the kyc may be able still access by scammers.

It is really unfair because many people are sending true information and Identities of them, so they could passed their requirements and for them to recieve their rewards. I think people have been sending fake ID for KYC because they want to stay anonymous and to protect identities but it is still unfair for us. NOT FAIR.

If indeed they don't check it, maybe I will do the same. However, there are some KYC required to write the name of the ICO in the white paper and a photo of yourself. It's hard to fool when checking KYC. Maybe they checked it when someone else uploaded their KYC.
As how i see it, KYC only hinders the investors and bounty hunters to use their tokens thoroughly. Well its easy to copy information about people so it can be passed to the KYC. So its pretty dull to me
Its actually very risky on the part of the sender. If they found out that its fake, you will not be verified and you might not get anything from them. Also its unfair if they don't detect it. The issue here is how secure if you send your personal info to them.

NOT FAIR.
nothing needs to be regretted, it's all the rules from the start , It all depends on us, as if we don't want to accept the prize, it's better to just skip , so in my opinion don't worry about this problem NOT FAIR.
