Sending in fake ID for KYC

[the_thing]

if sending a fake ID to the bounty and airdrop it's not a problem because we don't lose anything but if I do KYC on the exchange in my opinion it's very important because if something happens we can verify it, I'm just talking about the top exchange not the new exchange

I agree with you here completely using fake ID on exchanges could be really troublesome especially if you are using that account to trade daily. If they found you used fake ID then they could freeze your funds. Also, identity fraud is a serious offence in some countries

How are the exchanges to proof this? What are the options?
I don't think that many exchanges check whether someone has uploaded a fake ID.
Besides, I don't think they report cases like this to the police. It's still unregulated. 
Certainly there are few, but you can certainly count them on one hand.

As a legendary member you should know that KYC verifications are different, no one, I repeat no one can use fake I.D you pass binance KYC verifications because they use video for verification instead of asking you to upload screenshots, there are few exchanges like this too

I don't think someone could use a fake ID for KYC, especially in exchanges, because they always check it if your personal information is correct or false. When my friend submitted his ID as a personal verification in Binance exchange, he got rejected two times because they only accept a passport or driver's license, and my friend only had his voters ID. So it is a proof that some exchanges like Binance will be difficult to submit a fake ID for verifications. If you the exchange, find out that you are submitting a fake ID, they will freeze your funds that you don't have a chance to retrieve.

It is not a problem at all to fake video verification. Anyway, there are many exchanges that still ask for upload a picture from your ID and a Proof of Resident

for some exchanges, there is no real problem with dual account ownership. we can do KYC with the same document but use a different email or verification number. why use fake documents if it is an exchange that has good credibility. except it is used to register campaign airdrop.

Hmmm, some people are really smart. KYC is very risky especially when you are not sure of the organization demanding for it. Don't be in a haste to send in your information just because you don't want to miss out. Do a background check before you do that. Using fake I.D, I really don't want to comment on that.

Then why you post here?

You say that people should not haste to send their info, but I would say it is better not to send personal info at all. Not your own, not someone else (in some countries this is even illegal and you can get a criminal record for that). Cryptocurrency was meant to be anonymous, so why reveal your identity. What for ? Like trading - plenty of options besides crypto. Investment - same. Cryptocurrency does not need personal identification.

Why does this even have to be discussed? It's the responsibility of every project or exchange requesting for KYC to run confirmations on what is actually submitted. Why then are you asking for ID card when you don't have a means to proof its authenticity. You might as well just stop asking for the KYC

You can by pass KYC restrictions on exchanges but you will be in real time if there is a time comes to confirm your identity which occurs if you deal with huge amount so never every try to give fake IDs or your funds will stuck there permanently.

Using other people's pictures to create fake I.D for KYC makes you are criminal yourself, you saving your own ass by putting others ass at danger? I think you aren't thinking this very well, it's better not to do KYC at all than using fake I.Ds

[Casdinyard]

At the very first base and it was already obvious, creating or making fake IDs whatever the reason is considered to be illegal for the fact that it is against the law jurisdiction because IDs are considered to be legal documents and most of the IDs are released by the government to be able to verify or identify the identity of a certain individual. It makes no sense to reason out that making fake IDs are just for the sake of passing through the KYC. For the record, KYC process is an important process to better know an individual and if you were just going to fake it, then I think it would be equivalent to imprisonment because faking legal documents are classified to be a crime.

Yes, KYC process on crypto is really risky for the fact that you do not know who the real ones asking for your information but if you are really sure about the project, then what's the doubt? Also, there are other things that uses KYC. It is a process that is very important to better know the client and if you would just fake it by sending unreal IDs, it might just lead you into worst scenario so better undergo the legal process to avoid dealing on serious cases related on doing fake IDs.

But aren't these days they are also asking us to take a selfie along with the original document and with the current date written on a paper. Sending in the scanned fake document is easy but faking an original document for a selfie is a lot tougher.

I'm apologizing in advance if this was already discussed:

For example you can get a fake passport with your photo and then you take a verification - be it with uploading documents or video chat or something similar. You pass, because they verify it's you in the photo. Or do they have any other means of directly checking goverment databases? It seems highly unlikely, since I don't think for example a French company would be able to use the database of German citizens, even less for non-EU countries. So until you do something that requires the company to report you to law enforcement, you can basically "enjoy" your fake identity.

For the record - I personally never used fake documents and always do KYC for legit companies, I was just wondering how they can actually verify you.

You shouldn't worry about how others are evading KYC verifications with fake I.D, since you've pass some KYC verifications with your I.D means you are satisfied with giving up your Identity, I don't see anything wrong with KYC verifications but I won't give up if new projects demands it or small exchanges

What do you mean with "take a selfie"? Taking a selfie with your camera and upload the picture or taking a live selfie with your camera during the verifaction process?

no one would really know and there is nothing really to regret about especially if you were given the airdrop. i know of some people that were rejected while trying to game the system. KYC is not what you should do if you are not comfortable with it.

[jambul_kribo]

Sometimes I get bored with these kyc stuff especially when it has to do with bounty or airdrop rewards, most times I skip projects with this requirement unless it's not stated from the start,I think everyone who is not comfortable with kyc should skip it because I do that a lot unless I am ready to turn in my identification.

while we uncomfortable with kyc required and already do bounty task for months better to leave. dont ever regret when suddenly our bounty reward have high value. when we take personal data , it about our personal security caused many abuse personal data in world wide especially in deep web.

With legit projects, our KYC is always safe. But scam projects could sell our information. Before submitting your KYC, justify properly to your good. Scam projects will sell information either real or fake. If you don't participate in scam projects, you shouldn't be worried. But in legit projects, you could reject sending fake KYC.

How do you know if the project you are participating in is scam or legit? Most times people tend not to be sure of the nature of most of te projects out there. However, if there is a doubt about a project, it is better to just let it go and not invest in it. Although, this does not always work, because you might be suspicious of a project and yet, it seems to become the best.

Actually the victims here are just companies that require KYC. The fake information will not affect anyone and in some countries that do not admit cryptocurrencies, the law will not judge you and faking KYC is a hot service to earn money for any one good in photoshop.
