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.
It isn't as simple as it sounds since they don't ask just id or identification they additionally request selfies holding those documents it is difficult to transform them legitimately by photoshop require proficient hands to do it else they can burst and into flames you from the ICO..

I am worried about the other direction - isn't KYS also a good excuse for scammers and data collectors to ask for your mobile phone, address etc? What do you think?

im not interested to join in ICO that needs KYC its risky to give your full information to an ICO that don't have SEC registration because they can be scammy and your information can be used in illegal activities. so for me no for KYC and one thing that the topic said ID's can be faked just some good editing and your name can be change.

I am actually very wary of giving away an image of my passport. Some Kyc allow you to give ID instead, but that doesn't prove citizenship. I think there are a lot of ways that people can sneak around the KYC process, if they want coins, they'll find a way to get them. Some people will go above and beyond what is legal to make money. For me, I have to really really trust a team and a business model and a coin to send in a photo of my passport. If they leak it or sell my info, i could be a victim of identity theft.

I'm one of those people who sent their real data because I value honesty the most! I participated and used my passport on about 3-4 times because it was needed on a bounty I participated but only ended up unable to participate because the registration was closed. It was really a bad experience so I promised not to use my passport on useless KYCs anymore.

Hope I really have that excellent editing skills to fake an ID as we will never know how they are going to use our identity for the sake of money.

I agree. When you enter a "photo of a passport" in Google, many photos appear. Some people send them. In dubious airdrops and ISO, I do not fill in the KYS, in those that interest me, I'll send my data. It also seems to me that the KYC procedure does not correspond to the concept of "decentralization".

Makes sense to send in your real info if you trust the ICO, but I've found that is really hard to come by nowadays. Also could be that I'm too paranoid. Grin

I try not to join the ICO campaigns, which, under the conditions of accession, do not exclude the conduct of the KYC verification in the future. However, if such campaigns put forward such a requirement after the completion of the ICO, then there is no way out. In this case, it would be foolish to send your personal data to people who can eventually turn out to be scammers. Moreover, these persons do not have the opportunity to conduct a full-fledged verification of the information we send. Therefore, I fully admit they are not sending data to the steps, given that the KYC audit should be conducted against investors, and not those who do not invest in ICO projects.

KYC is sucking your personal data, be careful to send the doc,.I

Remember its not illegal to hand your friend a fake ID.  The KYC process is absurd as there is no way in hell they know who is on the other side of the ethernet cable.

Only fools send in real docs. Only fools
For this problem we have to be more careful, sending of self data like KYC process makes us must be more thorough again. If not then it could be all the data we send can be misused.

I did spend a lot of time reading through this chat and so many people are afraid of sending they real id. So what exactly do you think will happen if someone wrong will get your id ?

Dont say he will use it as his for ICOs
It's obviously he will use it for ICOs or claim his bounty through fake ID. People are afraid to give their real ID because they are worried if their ID will be used or given to something criminal by other people.

I have 2 passports, both are real. I use one that is not formally valid, but always passes verification. What are they afraid of verification, we're just bounty hunters and came here to earn a couple of coins)
People are not afraid of verification what they are afraid of is for their identities to be stolen by some criminals can you imagine the damage a criminal can do to your life if they get their hands in the passport you are sending? They could easily ask for loans in your name get the money and leave you with a huge debt that it will be very difficult for you to pay.
The Russians have a proverb. "The wolves are afraid, do not go to the forest".And on the issue of a loan for my documents, I'll say something later.As far as I know, the loan is given only in the physical presence of the passport holder along with the passport

How sure are you that there are in fact people who sent fake identification documents? Do you have any basis in saying that there are indeed groups of people who are doing this? A reference may well support your serious allegations.

Anyway, if this is true then the KYC/AML are mechanisms that are futile and will not really serve the purpose to which they are designed for. I was also thinking of how effective this is. If all they need are IDs then everybody can easily secure one from anywhere else without really divulging their real identities.
Even if theres no back up reference on such claims but we can really tell that there are people who do really commit these sending fake id's for KYC. Reason? They don't like to expose themselves that's why they do make use for other identities.Its an advantage for their side but a reald disadvantage for those people who being used by other people.We do know on how important our identity to be secured.

sending a fake id for KYC will be detrimental for verification and it will be hard to identify the participants in detail. because now KYC is used to see whether participants or investors are a criminal or not.

Now projects make it harder and harder to verify, and it's not so easy to fake it, and to those who are lucky, believe them, they are still caught on this. But I generally believe that verification is absurd, it should not be.

When it is discovered that you have used a fake ID for KYC, you may be denied ICO projects or lost your investment. Choose a long term investment and use the right ID to register for KYC, which is more beneficial for you in long-term cooperation with the project.

Sending false data may seem like a good idea, but everything you do remains marked, so you have to hope that it's not a move that will create problems in the future.
Would you show a fake passport to a policeman who stops you on the way?

Sending a fake ID is certainly illegal, what if someone finds out that you did this? Is this a violation of the law? It seems to me that the one who does this can have problems.
