That's why I don't believe KYC procedure. I have seen many spammers in a few days to submit a fake profile. Most of spammets stole people's identity, and they submit it for KYC. I think project owners should be more strict or they should use Icosid KYC system. Ivosid is a very good option to prevent fake KYC.
Topic: Sending in fake ID for KYC - page 44. (Read 89379 times)
The thing about the kyc is that a lot of people are worried that their personal information will end up in the hands of people who might use it for illegal activities and I really cannot blame them. if bounties keep pushing the idea of kyc for bounty hunters then they will have to deal with a lot of people sending in fake ids for the process because they do not want to give theirs out
How can you stop faking their submission they knew, they are at risk if they are going to send them their true credentials, they know that it will be sold in the black market, so its not worth for a small sum in exchange for sending their true credentials, these KYC thing should be stopped for bounty hunters.
I did not know that some people are actually doing it. I already tought about it but sending other's documents is forging so I prefer not to do it. Any other activity that includes fake identification could be fine for you as long as you would not involve anyone. But still, I personally won't recommend sending fake id.
The main problem here is centralized KYC process and poor security. We send our docs, those companies got hacked = our data is leaked. I completely understand when people are trying to get around it and send a fake info. However, we need a proper fix to this.
I think that is very inappropriate that you deceived other people just to have get what you need. sending fake IDs gives them a impression that you are a bad people and doing illegal things.
Sending KYC with the fake ID is very not fair. however, I don't know what make them do this. I guess that they may have some accounts or live on the forbidden countries to invest in the ICO. that is why they prefer to send the fake ID. But I also believe that the team or developer has their best system to avoid this.
I firmly consider that Know Your Customer isn´t an acceptable process for most of the tokens. Those don´t bear the righs of shares and shall not have need of that system.
It is not good to send anything confidential in fake id as. it is because fake id means Baker's are behind it. who will steal every information.
a serious discussion of such a pressing problem in the forum.Who is afraid to send documents-do not send.who sends fake documents to a crook and a thief.Here because of such people the others also are afraid to send documents for KYC check
Yes, I also know many people who did this. It is easy to send other people's documents and they will be accepted.
Sending Fake ID can be use in KYC as they are not really seeing the real person behind investment nor bounty.
though it must be supported with a verification address like billing statement ( which is also an easy thing to have)
POOR KYC i think.

The practice of sending fake IDs to do verification is fraudulent and should be discouraged,At least we are all fighting scam ICOS so let us also practice the good stuffs.You either send authentic documents or you do not send at all
The fact is that ICO teams are not only almost half fraudsters. They are still trying to deceive bounty hunters. First, they do not have the right to demand a KYC review from the ICO generosity campaigners, because we are not investors in their project. Secondly, double deceit is the requirement to pass such a check after the end of the ICO campaign, before they pay the tokens they earned. These members of the campaign are deprived of their right to choose. Therefore, I think it will be quite normal if such companies, in response to their deception, send them the identification data of others. Nothing wrong with this I do not see. 
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.
I believe that sending personal data contradicts the whole idea of creating a crypto currency so many people want to get anonymity with fake documents.
Ma boi, "not fair" is when the project enters the market of cryptocurrency which is like economic freedom and new motion in peer to peer transactions requires your full personal data to send you some tokens for the job you have done to promote it. This is not fair 
I think it is easy to fake KYC documents when they require only documents, But if they are required to snap and hold the passport, how are they going to do that?
yes it is, it is so easy to fake kyc, you just have to google the document or the identity. then you can easily passed the kyc, some people are editing it to make it more realistic.

When I attempted to do it I got to the final page where it asks you to sign and the button/link didn't work. Im glad I've seen this thread 
I dont like idea of kyc , but sending fake kyc i think is not legal, may be there will be some bans for fake docs in icos, and people will not receive tokens.
