When they claim to March Arch Tower (January thorugh late 2009), their disclaimer in their own website actually says your info is used NOT by TVI Express, NOT by Travel Venture International, but by "TVI Services". This had since been modified, but a clone of the original, TVIExpress.vn, has saved the original and can be presented here: http://www.tviexpress.vn/terms-of-use_intro--143.html
There was a "TVI Services" in UK, but it's in Surrey, and its address goes to a company registrar.
BrokerJones was able to trace the money funnel to Cyprus, to a "TVI Services LTD" registered in Cyprus.
In fact, this name appeared on some TVI Express instruction sites. I have to give you the Google Cache, because the original site is down (the original owner went on to some other stuff). But the info given is:
Do not forget to email the scanned copy of the bank receipt as soon as possible after processing the wire. Please keep in mind that usually wire transfer payments take a couple of days to process and that is why you should email them the receipt immediately. That will expedite the process.

So you are indeed NOT wiring money to TVI Express, but to TVI Services. So who owns TVI Services, or TVI Express, or whatever? According to a TVI Express fan website, it is...
Director: Rahul KhuranaThere is a report of another TVI Services, this time in India. headed by Rahul and Anita Khurana. No idea of they are the same people, but it's getting mighty suspicious. The TVI fan site above would like you to believe it's the same company. Even gave link to both UK and India government website for you to look it up. However, the UK site does NOT list the owners. Indian site listed Rahul and Anita Khurana.
Company Secretary: Michael Thomas Gordon
Shareholder: Anita Khurana
If you search for Rahul and Anita Khurana, you will find them in Danville, CA, operating an outfit called VisionTech Camps for children. It teaches kids about computers and technology. It even has their pictures. And yes, they were from India. Is it a coincidence? Could be, so the jury is still out on this topic.
Furthermore, BrokerJones has a strange encounter on Yahoo! Messenger... with rkhurana1991. This Y!M user claims Rahul and Anita Khurana to be NOT affiliated with TVI Services. However, he cannot provide proof.
Here's one more piece of the puzzle... Rahul Khurana *was* a member of TVI Express advisory board, documented by yet another website. However, his name does NOT appear on the official TVI Express website, not now, at least. Due to the way these clone websites "copy" the official one, they are basically time-lapsed mirrors, and proves that at one time, there was a Rahul Khurana involved in TVI Express. Whether is this the same Rahul Khurana in Danville, CA, remains in question.
If they are the owners, why can't they just say so?
