Apparently at one time, TVI Express was "trusted" by Trust-Guard.com, which is supposed to certify certain businesses. In fact, you can still find bazillion fan sites and articles and blog entries claiming TVI Express is trust-guard verified.
Here's proof that it is NOT (at least, not now)
https://secure.trust-guard.com/certificates/www.tviexpress.com
The fact that TVI Express does not display the "badge" should tell you a lot. Trust-Guard specifically says that it will not approve affiliate websites and MLM websites. TVI Express failed on both counts. So the fact that it was accepted once means even Trust-Guard was fooled. And how much does Trust-Guard cost? A few hundred dollars, that's it. That amount of "trust", obtained through FRAUD, was worth that few hundred dollars.
EDIT: Trust-Guard Customer Support was nice to write back and provided some information.
According to TGCS, TVI Express was dis-enrolled from Trust-Guard Business Verification on 30-SEP-2009. Due to business rules, the "reason" for the disqualification cannot be made public.
Any one still touting "Trust Guard" trusted is lying.
