Topic: Sending in fake ID for KYC - page 49. (Read 89364 times)
I do not think people are going to editing an ID card/Passport just to fill a KYC because the person who checking it would be easy to know which one is original and the fake anyway in the KYC filling we required the selfie by holding an ID card/Passport. But if it happens then it's not fair.
It is a gamble to send fake data and find your account frozen at a later point of distribution. For sure not an easy task checking IDs from dozens of countries.
Fake data or not as long as we accept in in Kyc requirements I think theres no problem about that.
Just want to point out that you never know who will go back and look at your information to verify especially for United States citizens. Even if something is not illegal now, it could be in the future. I would be very careful about doing fake or deceptive KYC. Your freedom is not worth investing in an ICO.
So I also told about it, and it really is easy to do, as far as I know in this case, the main thing is that the numbers of the passport coincide with the strangers and there were those in the world then everything would work, because the projects do not have access to such state information!
This is totally unfair. But I think it is not good to imitate. To a certain extent, this illegal scheme or crooked operations could escape the eyes of the companies involved but there will come a point when all these cheaters will be caught. I know, those that are asking for that kind of information are doing it out of laziness they could have created their icos in a jurisdiction in which they did not needed to ask for that information but they choose not to do that
I probably never stop to repeat - KYC is a collection of base, especially in the dubious projects ..
I do not think it out of place to have companies request for KYC. It is in order for me as it helps to know the kind of people they are dealing with. Criminal elements will always want to have their way and that is a challenge. The system is improving , and we hope we come to the point where this menace will be checked.
It is usually happens that some ICO investors and bounty hunters are sending fake IDs for KYC verification. I think it is simple because, they are living in the restricted countries which the ICOs are not requiring to join with their projects or there is the possibility that the bounty hunter/s or the ICO investor/s is under 18 years old that they cannot applied for government/national IDs.

As well as sending real ones, but I can see your point here. It is difficult to risk your money just like that. You choose your own ending: you might lose your money after they discover that you are using a fake identity or your personal data may be used against you. It's really a 50-50. Its just how tough are you at risking.
You can send documents only to exchanges, or similar platforms that you really need. And how is it related to your finances. To the rest of the new ico for example, there is no trust, your data can be found by anyone. Although no one is insured, if someone already sent a passport photo, that file is no longer insured.
I've not done it myself but I expect it's fairly easy to do, photoshop would probably do the job.
this is really a lot of pros and cons, because I think KYC is really needed to avoid the multi account, but it is also often misused for fraud etc., therefore I hope for the future there is a solution to solve this problem
A lot of people here are sending out other people's documents.
You can send in strangers too if you're worried .
Who is smart does not send their documents. If you do not know how to do it use the Internet!!!

If there are people who can easily make fake id for KYC in Photoshop. These people are doing the right thing. It's a pity that I do not know how to use it. I think it's not right to demand pass KYC from bounty hunters.
I believe that sending out your real documents is very unsafe. I try not to participate in the bounty that require the passage of the KYC!
Would not recommend. The benefits of getting into an ICO do not outweigh the cost of getting caught. That said, it's common for people to connect with friends that are foreign nationals.
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.
Sure it is not fair sending fake IDs to ICOs, many people cannot to get into good projects,like it was very bir problem to get into Fantom, i didnt
Like it or not, in the future will have more and more requests to identify ourselves, and it will be more and more difficult to keep our anonymity.
Actually, it will be possible, but probably it will become illegal, and it will be very difficult to make any movement.

It's a bad idea to cheat because it can be severely punished and you get nothing, I already had this
The fake Kyc information is unavoidable. Many people are unwilling to reveal their true identity on the Internet to a stranger. Many people seek absolute privacy. However, I think that using fake Kyc is wrong. If a project requires KYC and you don't want to provide it, you shouldn’t be involved in this project.
