KYC scams

[Cris John Pham]

Thank you for the warning. But I often choose prestigious projects to participate so that KYC is not afraid, with KYC only id photos they do not harm themselves.

Prestigious projects

Wich projects are non prestigious then?
And wich are the prestigious?, ico are just ico !!
There is no way to know wich ico is so called prestigious.
Its gambling.

Be very careful with the submission of documents for approval ! Personally, I trust only ICO project in which I invest ! Never trust KYC is used to verify airdrop !

Simple don't provide your KYC to any website you feel is less than trustworthy, typically if the team themselves are public facing and can hence be held accountable for their actions, then they will be less included to take advantage of your KYC information. That being said, it is completely possible that a rogue agent within any organization can siphon off KYC data and begin selling it on the dark web for example, but this can be said with literally any company, the odds just decrease with the size of the company.

Crypto currency is the whole sphere of gambling. It will not be accepted by many people because of their life principles and attitudes

KYC is important of-of all country people. KYC is people personal information. So don't share your personal information. If you trust the people then share. So don't share any other person. KYC know your customer. So careful to use the KYC. Some person uses your KYC illegal. Before share, the KYC check then shares. KYC is your personal and secret information. So careful to use it. KYC is connecting all country people.

And how do we feel that some websites is more safe to show our kyc ??

Be careful from scam ICO! don't submit your identity in random project and i know that KYC is very sensitive issue because we need to secured our personal identity. But legitimate project always asking KYC in ico investment or bounty campaign. I believe KYC is positive symptom to growing our community.

I have seen evidence of some scams being run under the guise of KYC in order to gain your passport and government issued id's.  Be careful out there and remember that a lot of these coins end up being scams.  Do you really want them having your passport/photo identification?  This is how people fall victim of identity fraud so please think before sending your information in. 

im hesitant too to submit kyc in bounties and referral campaigns , so before i join any of them i ask if they will require kyc for participants. youre right we should be careful to whom we send our personal ids.

Therefore, I never join the ICO signature campaign if it indicates the possibility of conducting a KYC check. If such a check occurs during the ICO or at the end of the ICO, I send them other people's data or just fictitious. They can not verify them vseravno, only analyze logically.
In general, the requirement to pass a KYC test from participants in the ICO generosity campaign is absolutely illegal. We are not investors in ICO projects and therefore should not come to such an audit.

Hearing the story you said, I feel that many projects are not reliable. Do they use KYC to steal user information?

[castiloros]

This is cause for concern when should provide KYC in the bounty or a project. It would be very dangerous when the data we have to fall into the wrong person because of course it could be used for acts that are not supposed to. indication and analysis may be necessary also to this especially in ICO or bounty to make sure it is good and KYC also sure is safe. When many anomalies then leave it out.

[akishang]

I would never use my passport for KYC. I have tried KYC's and on my experience, they don't have a specific ID needed to be approved. I always use my driver's license or tax identification I.D. and I never have problems with it and I never think that they could use it for identity theft.  If in case that they really require a passport, I will make sure that its worth it and I will earn a lot of money before doing KYC. If its just for a few dollars, I won't do it.

[Sissebrahima]

Uvenen is that KYC is used in crypto only for some vague fraud. Even the use of KYC leads to a decrease in the money of investors, especially large investors, which is reflected in the results of the implementation of ICO projects. I do not pass KYC.

[Olimpikflame]

I'm not a supporter of KYC, but to get payments from the bounty, I decided to pass it a couple of times. Everything was successful, but I have not seen my payments to this day ( except for the project as a Shivom). Therefore, yes, the companies that ask for the KYC are basically SCAMs.

[ivanleon]

be careful with the use of KYC because it can later be misused by irresponsible people. I hope you have to be more careful about the use of this kyc ... and keep in mind that now is the biggest scam season where many projects are not responsible

It is not safe to transfer KYC personal data, especially passport. Do not you find that a driver's license or other document with a photo is still safer, as in identity theft still need a passport.

[babsjoe]

KYC is not a prerequisite for success or image of good ICO. I have noticed that good ICO seem to take life by itself and become succesful because of sme factor that contribute to it's success. If an IICO project is needed and there is clear plan for  growth and development, such ICO will do well regardless!

[Snaic]

This have been discussed to many times, but for those who are reading this for the first time- DO NOT DO KYC FOR BOUNTY.

Red flag is that they are attempting to collect kyc data on their own website ,this is just absurd, dont go for that.
If their are legit, they will use respecting KYC company to do this work who will protect the data.

Mate, there's purposes why other bounty campaigns required KYC for bounty participants to get the bounty rewards. First is we know that there are many member are cheaters by using multiple account.  If you don't want to do KYC it is up to you, find the project that don't need KYC.

The KYC check is not done in order to remove persons using multiple accounts. In principle, for the ICO teams themselves it does not matter, it is important for them that there be quality messages and their ICO project be advertised. The KYC check is carried out to prevent the possibility of laundering dirty money. Members of the generosity campaign ICO are not investors, can not launder dirty money, and therefore should not pass a KYC test.
