I just got an email from Blockchain.com. They are giving away $25 worth of their Stellar (XLM) coin, but in order to claim it you have to submit a selfie and a government identification card
I don't have any suspicions about Blockchain, I believe they're legit, but I'm always hesitant to spread my personal information around.
How many of you folks plan to claim your $25?
This has already been done and nothing is new about it. I did not participate in it, but those who did it long time ago, are yet to get their promised XLM. I got to know through some of my friends who participated. Well, it might still be paid, because blockchain would want to protects its integrity.
As regards the issue of kyc, if you feel you can easily give out your personal details, you may participate, but i guess it should be closed by now.
