The ID Identification website contains no information about who owns or runs the company.

Further research reveals “Phoenix Shield Group Holdings” and PSC Investments” touted as related ID Identification companies.

These are borrowed names from existing companies, none of which are based out of Dubai.

Whether ID Identification’s related companies even exist is unclear. What we do know is that if they do exist, they’re nothing more than shell corporations set up to deceive.

You can confirm this yourself by visiting the ID Identification website privacy policy, which provides a corporate PO Box address.

The ID Identification website domain (“ididentification.org”) was registered on 18th December, 2018.

Phoenix Shield Group LLC is listed as the owner, through an incomplete address in the United Arab Emirates.

In the “our companies” section of their website, ID Identification lists a series of websites suggesting links to Brazil.

The source-code language of the ID Identification website is also riddled with Portuguese, Brazil’s official language.

This all strongly suggests that whoever is running ID Identification is likely based out of Brazil itself.

Either there or Russia, which Alexa currently pegs as the top source of traffic to the ID Identification website (30%).

As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.

Residual Commissions (unilevel)

A unilevel compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a unilevel team, with every personally recruited affiliate placed directly under them (level 1):

If any level 1 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 2 of the original affiliate’s unilevel team.

If any level 2 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretical infinite number of levels.

ID Identification caps payable unilevel team levels at seven.

How many unilevel team levels residual commissions are paid on is determined by how much an ID Identification affiliate invests:

  • invest at the IDIB tier and receive 3% on level 1 (personally recruited affiliates)
  • invest at the IDIL tier and receive 3% on level 1 and 2% on level 2
  • invest at the IDIA tier and receive 3% on level 1, 2% on level 2 and 1% on levels 3 and 4
  • invest at the IDI1K tier and receive 3% on level 1, 2% on level 2 and 1% on levels 3 to 6
  • invest at the IDI2K and higher tiers and receive 3% on level 1, 2% on level 2 and 1% on levels 3 to 7

Residual Commissions (binary)

A binary compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a binary team, split into two sides (left and right):

The first level of the binary team houses two positions. The second level of the binary team is generated by splitting these first two positions into another two positions each (4 positions).

Subsequent levels of the binary team are generated as required, with each new level housing twice as many positions as the previous level.

Positions in the binary team are filled via direct and indirect recruitment of affiliates. Note there is no limit to how deep a binary team can grow.

At the end of each day ID Identification tallies up new investment volume on both sides of the binary team.

Affiliates are paid up to 50% of weaker binary side volume based on rank:

  • Affiliates (no rank) receive 10% capped at $1000 a day
  • Bronze affiliates receive 20% capped at $2000 a day
  • Silver affiliates receive 30% capped at $2000 a day
  • Gold affiliates receive 40% capped at $2000 a day
  • Onix to Ruby ranked affiliates receive 50% capped at $4000 a day
  • Diamond affiliates receive 50% capped at $6000 a day
  • Double Diamond and Black Diamond ranked affiliates receive 50% capped at $8000 a day
  • Diamond Royal affiliates receive 50% capped at $10,000 a day

Starting at the Emerald rank, a matching bonus is also paid on downline residual binary commissions.

  • Emeralds and Rubies receive a 6% match on level 1 (personally recruited affiliates)
  • Diamonds receive a 6% match on level 1 and 2% on level 2
  • Double Diamonds and higher receive a 6% match on level 1 and 2% on levels 2 and 3

Conclusion

Considering “ID” stands for “identity document”, ID Identification’s company name expands to “Identity Document Identification”.

Clunky sounding but I’ll put that down to its seemingly Brazilian heritage.

What can’t be explained however is the company’s name within the context of it’s obviously fraudulent business model.

In an attempt to justify said fraud, ID Identification trots out cliched external revenue sources:

Naturally there’s no evidence of ID Identification engaging in trading activities, or any external revenue generation for that matter.

ID Identification investors are instead presented with slideshows, which purportedly represent associations with a plethora of black hole shell companies.

Even if you indulge ID Identification’s ROI generation fantasy however, the model still doesn’t pass the Ponzi logic test.

If the anonymous scammers behind ID Identification were able to generate consistent monthly returns of up to 22%, why solicit investment from randoms over the internet?

With compounding and a little bit of time, they could easily (and quietly) retire among the richest on the planet.

As it stands the only source of revenue entering ID Identification is new investment.

Using newly invested funds to pay existing investors a monthly ROI would make ID Identification a Ponzi scheme.

Accompanying ID Identification’s investment opportunity are pyramid commissions, adding an additional fraudulent layer to the scheme.

Secondary regulatory issues also exist by way of unregistered securities fraud.

Quite obviously ID Identification is offering a passive investment opportunity, which requires it to register in any jurisdiction it solicits investment in wherein securities are regulated.

At the time of publication, ID Identification provides no evidence of having registered with any securities regulator on its website.

As with all Ponzi schemes, once affiliate recruitment slows down so too will new investment. This will starve ID Identification of ROI revenue, eventually prompting a collapse.

Rest assured math guarantees the majority of ID Identification affiliate investors will lose money. Unfortunately however it’s likely going to be far too late before any of them realize.

Buried in ID Identification’s marketing materials is reference to an ESGC cryptocurrency:

By now you should be familiar with the MLM cryptocurrency exit-scam model.

Scams that adopt this model illegally solicit investment. When recruitment and new investment slows down, they launch a cryptocurrency.

This cryptocurrency is typically a low-effort ERC20 token, although it can be a 5 minute blockchain in a box solution too.

Once launched returns switch over to the altcoin, ESGC in this instance.

Next is the scam getting a dodgy exchange to list the altcoin, typically by offering said exchange either an upfront bribe or promised kickback.

Gullible investors are led to believe their worthless tokens will moon in price.

This can be asserted through low-effort promises (cue ID Identification’s shell companies), or simply “just because” for the lazier admins.

What actually happens is upon dodgy exchange listing there’s a brief pump (during which the admins further cash out as much as they can), followed by the inevitable dump.

The dump is caused by bagholder investors realizing they’ve been had and desperately taking what they can.

By this stage ID Identification’s anonymous admin(s) will have long vanished. This exact scenario has played out time and time again in the MLM crypto niche.

At this stage I don’t believe ID Identification has launched their ESGC shitcoin.

Either way investors will either take an immediate loss on collapse, or a long drawn out deflation loss via the crypto route.

The only people who make money in Ponzi schemes like ID Identification are those running them and early investors.
