I saw in my social media feeds that there's a lot of people now posting about free cryptocurrency that needed of kyc before you get a penny money. This people not think if it's will good to them to give their identity in any site for just penny money. Yeah it's free but your identity will be possible to use in any harmful doings.
Whats your thoughts about this?
They're basically data mining and will then sell your data, or use it in a way that harms you. Don't give out personal information online. Especially in connection to cryptocurrency.

Doing this is absurd, selling your identity documents for such a meager amount of money would do you know good people. Have some dignity, work and you will be paid to have a very comfortable living.
Penny money is just like a shitcoin so it means that its not worthy to provide your precious information just for a single bucks. Have your self limit on joing bounty, airdrop and any advertisement that requires you to fill up the KYC. Its better to protect your hundred of dollars than to receive penny money, don't sacrifice your identity. Look for a better place for you to earn more which is more deserving of your trust.

KYC for little money is not worth doing, because you risk more than you could get. Just remember why cryptocurrencies exist, one of the main reasons is because of their privacy. Letting your documents and picture of yourself holding it, in unregulated space is simply not acceptable. Be aware and be smart enough, because there are many scammers out there which wants to steal your data and use that data for their filthy purposes.

Giving tour personal information in the process of kyc is left for individual to decide, if the site team decide that you pass through kyc before receiving they penny then I don't see any thing wrong with that after all those visitors and users are warn before hand of what is involved and if they decide to go ahead with the process what ever come after is up to the ops to bear.

I agree. Personal documents are extremely valuable. We have to guard against possible identity theft.

A lot of people here are living in extreme poverty so they don't have much to lose by selling their personal information. ten dollars can go a long way in countries such as Venezuela and Indonesia.

Its not always about poverty, I have seen some post in different facebook groups how Nigerians rape the Stellar giveaway on blockchain.com and how they make thousands of dollars just joining stellar airdrop using different ID's.

if it's only for a little money I think it's very stupid because our personal data can be misused for only a few cents, we must respect our personal documents because they are very important do KYC if only needed like registering in an exchange that you trust.

To me it is clear that many of those developers giving their coins for free but asking for your details are not really interested in making a successful project they are interested only in getting your information and nothing else since they can make use of that information for their own ends, so whenever I see someone giving their information to them I am sorry for them because now their information will be all over the internet where it is going to be impossible to erase it. And then when their identities get stolen they are going to lament the day they decided to involve themselves with cryptocurrencies not understanding that it was their own gullibility which got them in trouble.

Exactly.Giving our own information should only be done in the most legit way like in an exchanger for us to be registered.We should always be careful not to be deceived by some scam projects who easily require KYC so we can be accepted as participants.They can make use of our personal information without asking our permission first.

They're basically data mining and will then sell your data, or use it in a way that harms you. Don't give out personal information online. Especially in connection to cryptocurrency. Not only with cryptocurrency, but with each and everything data mining happens. Each and every survey we do is recorded and were sold to corporates based on the response we've made. As people wish to be anonymous, cryptocurrency is preferred and now this too isn't left by those people. Soon can see cryptocurrency network to function as a centralized system.

By that said I doubt you will be able to find certain ICO's unless those were funded by any known services such as a trading services like binance. Or any known exchanger wallets such as coinbase Those are the type of services that are approved by the government. When it comes to faucets,cloudmining,ICO or any other shaddy type of businesses those are just worthless.

True I know a lot are moving more towards KYC as they are registered companies that need this information for regulatory purposes and so on. The issue is if you're providing this information to some no name ICO, with no clear registration details, no team members listed etc. I'd be more comfortable in being able to purchase tokens with no KYC, but only being able to use the tokens for whatever the service offer is if you've gone through the KYC process. Essentially the ICO has to turn into a business with a working product (and proper security) before you start giving them any personal information outside of a throwaway email address.

If someone can afford broadband internet and smartphone then I would not say that that particular individual is living in "extreme" poverty. And take my word. No matter how poor someone is, he is not going to give you the scanned copy of his passport for just $10. Even stolen passports can cost upwards of $1,000 on various dark markets.

It's all subjective. In Malaysia the urban poverty line is a household income of below $750, reflecting how expensive it is to live in the city, the same in Philippines and Indonesia, or most other Southeast Asia countries for that matter. And when the majority of people are living on minimum wage of about $200, you can understand that even if they owned a cheap smartphone ($30) and broadband (in Msia it's $2.50 per month), you can't just say they're not extremely poor. Those are necessities now. More expensive to own a phone line and rent it monthly and pay call charges.

Giving out your identity over for a few pennies is obviously a bad idea. Regardless if it would do you any harm or not, staying away from them should be the better choice. Identity theft has been around for many years now, and we should know better. If your gonna give your identity, make sure to do your own research first to avoid putting yourself in any type of risk.

Yeah I also notice it on my social media account seem's like they are willing to give out their personal information for a penny and doesn't even care what would happen next. But who knows I already read a thread in this forum that other people are cheating KYC by giving fake information and I.D's .

Airdrops and bounties should not be asking for KYC documentation. There is no need to put people and the community as a whole at risk with such actions. If projects are going to ask for KYC documentation, they also should meet the KYC requirement with an independent third party.
