I believe the OP only said most of that and wrote the misleading title, ">> WARNING: COINSORTIUM and ARDEVA SCAM >> Identity theft" just to get the response that he did. Everyone should be aware of identity theft sure, it can happen anywhere but I also work in a position where I have to obtain photocopies of customers' Government ID sometimes and other sensitive material to verify their identity. There is really no difference between saying that I am an identity thief just for requesting these documents, by your logic.


Yes, identity theft is a lucrative and evil trade but individually, photocopies of an ID and a utility bill isn't going to get you anywhere near the amount that a project/asset owner would raise. You're probably thinking of identity theft involving physical cards/documents or skimming credit cards.


Apparently it is, as frederichoule pointed out the website by his claim is under a registered Canadian company, I agree I can't find any evidence of that on the website itself. However, with a WHOIS search you can find that the organisation listed under ardeva.com is the 'TRIAXO GROUP'. Besides that it appears WHOIS Privacy isn't even on so it appears that Ardeva is likely being very transparent themselves. One thing I will mention though is  when I try to search for the "Triaxo group" on www.ic.gc.ca, nothing appears. Besides that if Ardeva isn't actually operated under a company, then that means that it would have be a proprietorship/sole trader business which means there is substantially more risk for the founder anyway. If anything, not operating under a company means there is more risk and scrutiny for the founder.
