Sending in fake ID for KYC

[awilliams]

I always wondered if we would come to that, do we have any idea how we will be able to avoid that in the future?

I probably never stop to repeat - KYC  is a collection of base, especially in the dubious projects ..

What do you mean? The ICOs collect our documents for selling it on the dark web?

This is just one of the possibility, that's why don't trust them with your real information as they can do that especially if they are just doing the ICO to scam people. They will surely exit and when they do that, they will not only take your money, but also your information submitted.

I don't understand how they could distinguish the fake documents you sent or not if you took the other person's documents. No one will conduct a thorough audit of your data in order to simply send you tokens. But these people acted means smarter because there is no guarantee that your documents will not fall into the hands of scammers.

Lot of people don't want to expose their personal information so they might buying the IDs from someone or even steal from someone to complete the process but the team who is asking for KYC need to make it much strict or just remove KYC.

It seems to me that there should be no problems with the passage of KYC, I calmly go through each company and I am glad that they introduced KYC. Many fraudsters and youngsters will not be able to cheat projects and managers with their multi-accounts.

I heard that many people do this. But it seems to me that it is very dangerous. Falsification of documents is prosecuted.

Of course, if it concerns investors, the consequences can be very bad, since investments in a formal project are legally binding. But if the provision of personal data with forged documents concerns participants of the Bounty company, then no one will hold anyone accountable, since the activities in the Bounty company are not governed by any legal rules.

You yourself answered your question if people forged and handed over fake documents to the quality of KYC and at the same time the project did not have any question to them. The KYC procedure itself does not solve the security problem as the projects claim, this procedure is a means of collecting information.

Or maybe the project itself is a fraud? And they don't care if they are receiving authentic or not. Bad news for all those who submitted their true identities. You won't know where it will end up to.

Don't be easy to believe in other people. It's better to check the project first. Our personal data certainly does not fall into the hands of irresponsible people. Because many online loans now use personal identity data. It is better to look for projects that do not use KYC.

[cryptpedia]

Oh my bad. I always send my real ID and passport. But to credible exchanges. I started to doubt the process with shapeshift. they couldnt validate my doc although i was sending legit ones. Seriously!
how  can you send a fake id, when they request you to send a selfie holding a piece of paper with handwritten note?

[bellaayu]

Try to think wiser. Projects that use KYC for Bounty participants are indeed a problem. In addition, the use of KYC is not a contributing factor that the ICO can succeed. You must be more careful in doing KYC if you check and are unsure. It's better not to do KYC.

Indeed, that's the big risk in terms of submitting their personal documents. And course those project who asked and getting the KYC of others were in the end they will use it for illegal purposes. This is the bad side effect of crypto business industry, so as much as possible we better be careful as always.

you can do everything with Photoshop. In my area, they have a service provided docs to make fake ID according your ask to verify your account without any problems.

[Bes19]

Well it's up to you if you're going to fake it or not but as an investor i always use my identity coz im afraid that they might freeze my account if they find out that im using a fake id. But if it is for bounty KYC then i guess you can fake it. Never done it before though.

[harrypotpot]

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.

So why would you join in ther project in the first place? If you know they are going to conduct KYC then, better to avoid the project in the beginning. Do not entrust your identity to such entity that you are not sure about.

[microbb8]

Who leads a lot of bundles bounty have a bunch of fake documents. It is not difficult to get documents for KYC if you really want.

   I agree with you Microbb8, it`s easy this days to get documents for any KYC. Here on forum people do it cause they have multiple
accounts and when they participate in bounties with more than one account they need a way to bypass KYC rule.
   It`s probably very easy to find a fake ID this days. Or you can use someones ID. There are different ways to bypass certain rules and
people will always do it, nobody can`t stop that.

Yes, many participants doing these kind of cheating method, sending fake kyc to get the reward while struggle to passed and others didn't passed. These should be stop and need to address in the team hold the project. They are capable to do the review so it matter who handle the project so if the security not tight then goodluck to these cheaters eventually continue to manipulate the project.

Why do you want to send KYC fake. If you are a bounty hunter, I think you are a participant with lots of accounts, so maybe you will be arrested and lose all your rewards. And if you want to join the ICO, I recommend that you send your KYC to be safe
