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.

That is really a wrong act. In telegram channels, I have seen many people use photoshop software to edit and use it as KYC. It was really unfair to me.
In addition, sometimes the bot still cannot recognize that it is a corrected image and that is bad. I think we should set up a team of members to test these KYCs ourselves.

You can send fake documents, of course, but I don't think it can work every time in every bounty company. But on the other hand, the procedure of KYC is not clear to me, because I do not understand how they check people. Are they watching everyone or maybe just someone randomly selected and that's it?

Because of your topic many campaign and company will be alert and i guess they'll look for more security and stuff. Just to protect the reputation of the certain company.

I send my documents and I do not see anything dangerous in them, we show them and give copies in everyday life, until there were no problems.

At the moment, some exchanges have sold all personal data of users under the guise of hacking. Their passports, driver's licenses and everything else can be bought on the Internet at very cheap prices.

This is really a difficult action to accept. But because the project owner has requested KYC, the bounty hunters will find ways to get rid of that barrier.
I think the airdrop or bounty campaign is not recommended to KYC. KYC is only suitable for investors and it is useless for bounty hunters.

i dont think they check all of them
just collect and didnt care if fake or not as long they give information about urs (althouth it fake)

ICO with kyc is to risk too
u dont know them and u send them ur information
i prefer join ICO or bounty with no kyc requirement

I do think that we will eventually have full KYC for crypto and that it will all be checked properly. The situation at the moment, and how easy it is to fake it, does really demonstrate that even real legitimate ICOs who want KYC info often just do so as a box-ticking exercise in order to comply with the rules.

There is a rule that they have to comply.

Before submitting with the KYC requirement, we need to check if they are also registered, because if not, it's unfair to us that
they will request KYC when they alone are not registered.

It's a shady activity, you should doubt their legitimacy at the beginning and don't risk your money at all.

Many companies do not check your documents, so often even fake documents confirm, and some companies are very cautious about this and carefully check every yours document, so this is all at your own peril and risk.

Actually, these companies do not have any instruments to verify whether you provided a fake ID for KYC or not, so many people abused the system sending someone's documents.

That's quite a bad idea, but well, we can keep our personal Identity safe and secure at the sametime, can earn more when we use fake ID's but still I prefer to be real in my life.

Because of the increase in the number of platforms requesting documents, the number of falsifications and documents stolen and sold on the black market has increased ... this situation is impressive

and the core problem is because the project requesting for kyc without any prove that they are legit. People also could fall easily for this trick. Project that requires KYC should only be the one that apready being verified by the government.

BITCOIN IS THE CURRENCY OF THE GLOBE

Lots of investors are always skeptical about the safety of there document and the privacy of identity,Until there is a global regulations through government policy, members of the community might not build trust in KYC. Regulation is the way out.

Sending in your real documents, what were you thinking. You can't trust your document with the person on the other end. Take for instance, scam project that required KYC , I mean it is a scam , they didn't just only scam people of their hard earned money but also have access to their document (passport, drivers license). You can't really tell what they can do with it. Remember, they are scammers.

It is not difficult to find documents on the Internet and make them in Photoshop if there is a need, therefore, very often, fake documents are sent to pass through KYC, and this is wrong!

If project or bounty need KYC, i will consider it, if the result is much i will give it but if only few penny i skip it. And i give my real document until now is fine. Why i give my real document because the requirement need it. If i give fake ID so that's mean i lie not follow the rule and in my religion, that is fraud, sin

It is optional to send your documents or not. ICOs are trying to filter real vs fake investors with applying rules stated by known KYC&AML agencies.

This is an issue with KYC, apart from sending fake ID most people steal identity cards and pose them as being theirs and most times the projects hardly crosscheck the identity cards to be sure,i think it's best KYC should be scrapped out as it can lead to spreading of false information and fake identity

Those who gave their real documents should not be seen as fools, except that the person refuses to look into the project team he is giving his documents to.
I do not just give out my personal details, because i do not use fake ID. This is more reason i am very careful of involving myself in projects that require KYC.
