Some MORE lies from TVI Express members

This is a letter, published by TVI Express downline in Taiwan, was dated June 2009. It allegedly came from a Mr. Goyal, their TVI Express upline from India. The problem is this letter is in Chinese, which was translated from original English. So retranslating it back to English is going to sound silly, but the general meaning should be clear. You can read the whole thing here, I'll just pick out some of the more egregious lies...

公司的背景非常堅強，其中包含一家超過五十年的金融理財公司，在義大利的玻璃產品工廠，以及在英國的賭場與度假中心，在旅遊業中已多年居於領導地位。而在六月下旬，將在德里開設印度的第一個總部。香港與深圳在七月初也都要設立總部。

The background of the company is very strong, includes a financial management company with over 50 years of history, a glass product factory in Italy, and casino / resort in England. It has enjoyed leadership position in travel industry for many years. In late June, a main office will open in New Delhi, India. In July office will open in Hong Kong, and Shenzhen China. 

As we all know, there still is no office in Hong Kong, no office in China. Nobody ever found out what "financial management company", the casino/resort, or glass factory in Italy that they may be referring to. In fact, these supposedly ties were never mentioned anywhere else.

我們〈還有您〉在籌備階段加入這個事業，這將是我們未來成功最重要的契機，在任何傳銷事業，唯有那些在一開始就加入的人，才可以賺大錢。這個事業是完全國際化的〈世界五十多個國家皆有設點〉，並與國際知名的相關企業合作。

We (and you) must join this enterprise in the pre-launch phase. This is the key to our future success. In any MLM, only those who join at the very beginning, can earn big money. This business is completely global (over 50 countries around the world), and cooperates with an internationally known related business. 

 The problem here is they are telling you the truth... ONLY the early joiners will make money, that for sure. But what they mean by global is they have MEMBERS in 50+ countries.

基本投資金額不高，只須新台幣9,500元、19000元或是28500元，全看個人的需要。

Basic investment is low, only NTD 9500, or 19000, or 28500, depending on individual needs.

NOTE: 9500 is joining once. 19000 is joining twice, and 28500 is joining four times. 9500 NTD is roughly $290 USD, the standard "TVI Express" membership + some fees.

最棒的是你80%的最初投資，會在數週內回本，還能夠獲得許多基本福利，像是免費的五天曼谷行〈包括所有的機票、所有稅金、免費五日的五星級飯店住宿、免費的餐飲，您無須負擔任何多餘的開銷〉。

The best thing is 80% of your initial investment will be returned in a few weeks, and you can get many benefits, such as free 5-day trip to Banghkok (including all tax, plane ticket, 5-star hotel accommodations, and meals, absolutely no extra expenses)

Includes meals? Only 80% return?

TVI Express提供給你的福利沒有任何灌水，也不會隱瞞、限制或誤導顧客，一切都是透明化的。

TVI Express benefits to you is not inflated, and there is nothing hidden, restricted, or misleading. Everything is transparent. 

We all knew how *this* promise turned out. 

The 5-star hotel? Turned into 3-5 stars.
Meals? What meals?
Redemption? Impossible to do so until June 2010, 12 months later. 
No extra expense? Includes all taxes? Try $150 for "taxes and processing fees"

What lies are TVI Express members telling now in order to score a few more recruits?
