Sending in fake ID for KYC

[camuszpride]

I'm not a fan of KYC exchanges where you will mandatory give your self-identification without a cost. This is not fair! They can use our identity for a crime without being notice it. How come you call it decentralized crypto exchange where you will give your real identity? This is crazy!

[vivuta105]

It is a hard question for me, because I am swinging between my consciousness, and between fear, that somebody would use my documents, in order to take some loans, or something else. So obviously, I am just trying to avoid those campaigns which are requiring kyc process, or similar.

I recently joined an airdrop with KYC and they asked a selfie with ID showing only your name.

KYC should have a centralized KYC verification site where all ICO should have reference or a twitter verified or even FB verified to get qualified to have less hassle.

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.

True, it is not fair, we have to send our legit documents which can be easily abused but they are sending fake IDs and nobody cares.
But it is illegal to act as another person, so be careful about that.

That can happen to any investors or bounty participants who are asked to submit ID's for KYC authentication. For some concerns especially for security reasons and i think it's the right of every participant to submit a real or fake ID and i think that the ICO team can not really determine whether it is legit or not.

A lot of people are paranoid about their identity being stolen which leads to so many people using fake IDs for the KYC process. Can't say I blame them though. I agree with you that it is not fair, but when it comes to getting your identity stolen, it is no joke and it can seriously ruin a persons life which is why most people are so close guarded when it comes to sharing their personal information with strangers.

KYC is a simple formality. Nobody checks them thoroughly. The point is just to get through it . And chii documents you send do not who are not interested. Therefore, who is afraid to send their documents always sends others.

[christofyler]

Submitting real ID for KYC are extremely risky because you don't know what they can do with your information. Also submitting fake ID may also make you loss your entry when they are been verified if they found out it fake.  You just need to be careful when submitting your details for KYC but as for me I still prefer submitting the fake ID.

Generally it's all easy to check, but just those who do not need it and do not check, but create visibility or collect information for their own purposes

[timberfox]

If your fake ID didn't be use on this KYC previously - you will not have any problem to pass them.

[ablebj]

have no problem in giving my real ID cards for KYCs. Only people  with multiple accounts are against this. What’s the worst thing that could happen to someone with a very low credit limit? Not getting paid because the ID sent was fake and got charged for falsification of documents.

[Jdragon6x6]

I have been skeptical with this kyc thing going on lately with most of the ico's. The biggest selling point of cryptocurrency is being anonymous, transactions and trades made become anonymous. Information about you become anonymous. This kyc thing contradicts to the main selling point of cryptocurrency. I don't publish any private information in social media because I am scared of my identity being used by others and I am also against this kyc.

[duyenhamz9999]

I know, It may be done by someone who don't want to send their real ID because of some reasons. KYC is actually needed for the investors to know well the investors. But, I know that it must be announced in the beginning of the project launched

[philospherjules]

Anyone have information on how to obtain a fake id and documents to pass KYC for ICOS?

[baeva2]

I am also concerned about this issue. I have participated in several projects where KYC was required and entered real data and now I think that it is wrong to do it - it is dangerous.

[namtran694]

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.

[enriquemendez18]

I'm sure you can do, doubt they check it properly like a bank would.

NOT FAIR.

I know that some people will fake their identifications in submitting documents for KYC System, but i did not care as long as in my part i did the right thing. Even though it is also alarming for us who truly submit our documents, but i am hoping that our documents also will be safe from those who want to use it for their own bad purposes.

[Iniya]

I also know few people who send fake documents to pass KYC. Many are afraid to send their real documents. Indeed, almost all of the documents were accepted. I don't understand how the test works.

[vertinfos]

Yes, I know a lot of people who send fake documents, because they do not want to reveal their identity, I think everyone should have the right to disclose it or not
