TVI Express members: copying each other's lies

Are TVI Express members copying their lies from each other? Absolutely. 
In my analysis of a Chinese blog with a lot of TVI Express lies,  I came across these excuses, which was proven to be lies, things such as

* TVI Express is Trust-Guard verified  (it is NOT, as of 30-SEP-2009)
* TVI Express is listed on Google, which makes it "official" (it is NOT, as listing is owner-verified)
* TVI Express is paying people, so it is legitimate (it just proves it has money in the bank)
* TVI Express is incorporated so it is legitimate (plenty of incorporated businesses were proven to be scams)


And this is where it gets interesting... I have seen these lies before... Almost the same wording. It was on Mr. John Piro's website, which I had also reviewed.





And I have seen them in plenty of other places.  Here's another review where I busted nearly the SAME lies as I did in Mr. Piro's website, with virtually the same wording. 
If you just use the keywords ( "TVI Express" "trust guard" ) you will find 388 results (when I searched on Google) all of whom claiming information that is nearly 11 months out of date (TVI Express is NOT Trust-Guard verified), and NOBODY bothered to issue any corrections, so the lies persisted on the Internet. The lies are on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, blogs, websites, article archives, and much more.
When the lies are spreading faster than the truth, due to either maliciousness or ignorance and laziness (no fact checking), people are being deceived and scammed.
