TVI Express member refused to acknowledge scam despite US shutdown

Donna Abreu, who claims to be "coach with integrity" (her blog says so), refuse to acknowledge that TVI Express is a scam, even as she posted letter from her upline that TVI Express is being shut down in Georgia (the state) and probably in the US. She wrote:

"I believe TVI was never a scam. In the US, though, they don’t like MLM and the rules are strict. TVI didn’t make it. Same thing happened in Australia."

This is absolutely bull****. MLM STARTED in the US of A, by the granddaddy of all MLMs: Amway. This is when a guideline on what makes a MLM legal was established, and the rules are actually every simple: it must have some real product or service to sell to outside consumers, and associates must be paid on sales, and uplines must be paid on what was SOLD by downlines.

TVI Express cannot abide by these simple guidelines. It is a scam.

"Giants like Melaleuca have been around for 20+ years and yet they are banned from certain states in the US.  It just happens."

It does NOT just happen. Melaleuca's products are "fine" (I make no claims on their efficiency). They are banned from some states because of certain marketing practices: people are rewarded by recruiting people into "wholesale club", which is just an auto-ship program for Melaleuca products, not for actual sales. In early 2000 some distributors sued Melaleuca for misrepresentation. You can find information on Melaleuca easily on Google. I found all this in five minutes. She claims to be a marketing coach and she can't cite **** about Melaleuca except to spew bull****.

"Shut down or no shut down, the TVI comp plan through trial an error turned out to be too difficult for the average marketer to make m0ney."

Bull****. The comp plan is very straight forward: recruit 200+ people so you can make your $10000. Recruit more to make even more plus "incentives". Sell NOTHING (except more memberships). There is no trial and error. The only trial and error would be what sort of bull**** so called marketing coaches and uplines have to spin in order to "inspire" their downlines to recruit more victims to make themselves richer.

"People dropped out like flies. And those that tried hard got way discouraged."

People dropped out because they realized TVI Express is NOT a MLM. There is no sales, no marketing. Just recruiting. IT IS A SCAM.

"I made m0ney, but the majority of our team could not. It was heart-breaking for me."

Exactly, you got in early. You recruited enough victims for YOU to make money. Those under you can't find enough dumb***es to make themselves rich. More bull****. Of course you won't say it's a scam... You made $$$!

For a "marketing coach" to even today, refuse to understand that a scam only has recruiting while a legitimate MLM have products or services to sell to outside consumers, only shows that Ms. Ebreu has a highly inflated sense of her MLM knowledge and integrity.

Yes, this is my opinion, and I stand by it. Even today Ms. Ebreu kept her bull**** TVI Express hub on hubpages up, even though I had debunked every single one of her bogus justifications right in her comments.

Those who refuse to see the facts even when it is right in front of them are doomed.
