Sending in fake ID for KYC

[bitsmichel]

Fake IDs it`s a simple lie. KYC is needed to Know Your Cosstumer, and you will know Your Fake, lol. But this is the matter of self security

[feelideb]

What were you expecting? You think somebody would just reveal his identity for stipends! People are in cryptocurrency because they are trying to avoid this kind of situation and unfortunately for many, some how project are demanding kyc that people are runinng away from!

[ace4549]

I think that is very inappropriate that you deceived other people just to have get what you need. sending fake IDs gives them a impression that you are a bad people and doing illegal things.

One  of the main reasons why Cryptocurrencies is famous and preferred is the fact that it provides anonymity. the documents such as passport and ID, required during verification already goes against one of the integral features of the trading platform,However sending fake ID for KYC seems to be a loophole hackers are exploiting. it also leave s a big concern of=n the security of the users accounts,

I share the same worry, KYC might be the blueprint for the fall of crypto currency.

Right. I have never invested in projects forcing KYC investors. I think such projects could be created by hackers to steal people's information

Not all. Some of the success projects that give us a good profit already have KYC also. But topic starter made answer right. You always have chance to use any fake ID or other docs. Yes, if you use swiss banks for participation it's not applicable. But in other cases why not?

I agree that you should not send your real data to anyone. There is a high probability that they can fall into the hands of bad guys. For yourselves, to transfer fictitious data, no one will check a particular person from the other end of the world.

[castiloros]

Indeed the system itself is quite troublesome and KYC are certainly at risk. many of the problems will surely occur like abuse of identity by a third party. If indeed many are not caught during then faked of course is not a problem. However if caught cheating then it certainly will bring new problems.

[ashmodeus]

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

i know and people know it
but the question just,
how they make our data safe.
even, the ETH wallet it's easy to hacking by bad people.
well ,
i will skipped some project needing KYC.

Not fair indeed, but sending in KYC documents that aren't your own are either illegal or should be illegal. I know you feel screwed over and rightfully so if you got surprised with KYC but stooping to their level won't help the situation. Besides being a bounty hunter you should now expect that you won't get all of your assets because things like this are going to happen. There will be scams and there will be surprise KYCs, this is the life of a bounty hunter sadly.

today, one of my friends did a kyc to get a payment and one of my friends told him to use a fake ID by using photoshop of course and after a few hours later my friend got the token, it was very easy and used the VPN of another country .. me now want to ask, is my friend right or wrong?

[rextoinsem]

I do not understand the meaning of passing KYC. Buy fake documents is not a problem. Everyone knows that. In fact, even no one really checks for a fake. I see that there are no obvious signs and miss everything.

Your friend is right only until the veracity and reality of the documents are checked. As soon as they begin to check the reality - it's simply banned (not in this project of course, but in any of the following)

Sending in fake ID is equal to denial of passing kyc.If you send in a fake id ,you may manage to pass through or fail but definitely in way or the other you will be caught and shall not get away with it .l personally do not think kyc is a bad idea.Everyone just has to do the right thing and we shall have a stable ecosystem and everything will move smoothly.

In my country, the data in the passport is not written in Latin letters, often I face problems with the passage of verification. It is good to have a second passport from another country, usually, pass verification with it. I do not use other people's data. English-world language

[PumaPuma_]

I'm not afraid of checking KYC and why are you afraid of it. Well, that, they will have your copy of your passport and photo and what threatens you, I can not understand.

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.

I think the data we send via KYC is not checked, it just verifies that you are real. considering the crypto for the world. and not everyone has a passport. and they only use driving sim data, and ID cards. remembering that, they will never know if what we send is really ours. so KYC or anything like that just makes it difficult for both parties.

Even myself would simply skipped out project with have KYC requirements no matter how good it is. Anonymity or privacy would always concern me and once you comply such documentations to them then you are already risking out your entity. Above on all things that do happen about selling out informations into blackmarket we wont even know that our information is already there and being sold out by other people and use up on other purpose.

I'm not an expert when it comes to the law or anything like that but those that think they outsmarted the system and sent not only fake data but the data of someone else over the internet committed a crime and if they are caught they are going to pay with time in jail, also if you do not feel secure sending your documents to an ico that is a sign you should not send your money either.

[Prod]

If you send false data during KYC, then do not be surprised if false tokens are sent to you. It should be determined whether you play the rules of regulators and pass KYC, or simply do not participate in similar projects. Because of the uncertain behavior and fussiness of the masses - regulators need to be.

I am very disappointed with this development. I honestly submitted my documents because they asked for it and others just faking it, it is not fair. I hope that someday they would stop asking for KYC.
