Sending in fake ID for KYC

[Zalaster]

Faking KYC is not the best way to avoid this. I did KYC only with those whom I really trust, and only when it was worth it.

[Pithaxz]

let alone sending fake IDs? sending an original ID is not necessarily verified, and most bounty hunters do not agree with the KYC system, but this is a project procedure, in my opinion it is simple if we object to the process, it is better to take part in projects that do not have a KYC system.

[FLHippy]

It is not fair and that is why it is against the law. Those people who are using fake IDs in KYC forms will surely have problem with government and police.

[TelolettOm]

But checks about identity have now begun to tighten. many fake kyc are able to fail and also can use verification twice by using photos using paper to reduce the level of cheating

It is a gamble to send fake data and find your account frozen at a later point of distribution. For sure not an easy task checking IDs from dozens of countries.

I had a friend who was a victim of such fake data just to boycott the KYC and at the end his account worth over $3000 worth of tokens were frozen up-til now. Getten the fake IDs are very easy but definitely the lost are stigmas for such individual with dubious act. If as an investors or bounty hunter don't want KYC then is advisable not to apply for the job or to participate on the campaign.

Therefore, you should always think before passing KYC. In most cases bounty hunters provide fake documents and successfully pass verification, but the most important thing is that they do not risk if their data will be transferred to third parties.

 Cryptoworld supposed to be in anonymous transaction mode but the system had been flooded with so many KYC request,  I belief KYC is mandatory in some cases to curb money laundering and other fraudulent activities however some ICOs, bounties demanding KYC is not necessary and could as exposed people identities to others fraudulent organizations who will buy those documents to perpetuate crimes, I suggest having a regulatory bodies to oversee the activities of those ICOs.

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.

nothing needs to be regretted, it's all the rules from the start , It all depends on us, as if we don't want to accept the prize, it's better to just skip , so in my opinion don't worry about this problem

Its actually very risky on the part of the sender. If they found out that its fake, you will not be verified and you might not get anything from them. Also its unfair if they don't detect it. The issue here is how secure if you send your personal info to them.

[Chinsmokers]

As how i see it, KYC only hinders the investors and bounty hunters to use their tokens thoroughly. Well its easy to copy information about people so it can be passed to the KYC. So its pretty dull to me

[Nurma.A]

If indeed they don't check it, maybe I will do the same. However, there are some KYC required to write the name of the ICO in the white paper and a photo of yourself. It's hard to fool when checking KYC. Maybe they checked it when someone else uploaded their KYC.

[kramchers]

You or they can't fake every KYC in an ICO team.
There are some who are asking for the ID that you must be holding with a writing for the date.
Some should take a pic with same gesture of the hands on the picture.
Though if they are requesting just documents and ID it can be easily be cheated.

It is really unfair because many people are sending true information and Identities of them, so they could passed their requirements and for them to recieve their rewards. I think people have been sending fake ID for KYC because they want to stay anonymous and to protect identities but it is still unfair for us.

Many bounty hunters pass fake i.d into projects with kyc because of the frequent reasons they have no i.d or because they have multiple accounts. so usually the bounty with kyc does not have enough members to work or promote their project. and the real reason why there is kyc to avoid the scam but the kyc may be able still access by scammers.

[frost_wind]

Now there is no trust to anyone on the cryptocurrency market, so no one wants to share their documents on the Internet. Some use photoshop to change personal data, while others simply buy ready-made selfies photos and id documents on black market. Unfortunately, sometimes kyc requirements are made in such a way that it becomes impossible to buy fake documents for them.

I think this is one of the solution found by the projects/companies to verify all application so users who will send fake information needs to think twice. I do not disagree with KYC verification but also not a fan of it.

If the Kyc is not needed, then there will be a lot of scamer in continuous bounty, honestly I also don't like Kyc, but for good we have to use it,

In my own opinion, maybe people use to send fake ID or information for KYC they do not want to reveal their identities and to steal their identities. But i think it is really unfair that we are submitting correct and exact information for as to complete successful in our requirements, then they only use fake ID.

[various]

Unfortunately some people make fake identities and send them to pass KYC. I have never used fake identities for KYC because I have never trusted shit icos or new exchanges. Always be careful about your personal informations.

I have been thinking about this matter for a long time but I never dared ask. I've been rejected twice or twice I think from sending documents for KYC and been wondering if they really check and verify every documents we submit since there are thousands of participants submitting their documents for KYC, then will just tell you you cannot get your tokens because you failed in KYC. How stupid. Maybe those who fake theirs are more secure and safe than those who sincerely given their true identity.
