Rudy Phan is Back With MORE Ridiculous Explanations For TVI Express Outrageous Behavior

Recently TVI Express is requiring all members to "verify" their account. This was previously reported on this blog as an obvious attempt to deny members of their vouchers and eWallet funds. Turns out, the truth is even MORE insidious than that.

According to TVIExpressDollar.com's blog, in order to "verify" your account you must upload A COPY OF YOUR GOVERNMENT ID TO TVI EXPRESS. In fact, you are also required to reveal your home address if it is not on your ID. See the screenshot above of the screen.

Frankly, this is such an outrageous violation of privacy I am surprised nobody had complained.

What's even more interesting is that TVI Express' "Privacy Policy" never did mention any thing about collecting ID. In fact, under "how we use personal information", it only says that payment information is protected. it never claimed to protect your PERSONAL information. It did not even promise to securely destroy such proof of ID after your account was verified. In fact, TVI Express can reveal your personal information to your upline as they see fit.

TVI Express is a Direct Sales Company and as such, we may provide personal information as needed to your personal TV Express Independent Associate or Upline Sponsor for orders and Associate enrolments.

Wow, ANOTHER mention that "TVI Express is a Direct Sales Company". Guess Rudy Phan don't care about that! He's still saying TVI Express is NOT Direct Sales / MLM!

So when Rudy Phan tells you to PLEASE verify your account, should you listen when he had previously lied on MULTIPLE OCCASIONS?

What was Rudy Phan's reason on WHY you should verify your account? So your upline don't steal your money! He claims that some uplines are stealing their downlines money. The downlines don't know Internet much, so the upline gets EVERYTHING, and when downline cycles out, the upline just use the information they already know (they typed it in, after all) and cash out all their eWallet!

Apparently this "verification" is supposed to stop this sort of abuse. However, consider this fact: who's going to upload the information? The upline (who knows Internet)! Who's going to do the verification? The upline! So this "verification" does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the "security" situation!

Rudy Phan, of course, want to compare TVI Express to a legitimate business, like Paypal (Indonesia). But TVI Express is NOT a bank. And Paypal IS a bank (it has banking license in Europe AND banking license in 33 out of 50 states in the US) So the comparison is NOT VALID.

So basically TVI Express is forcing you to give up MORE personal information for money you supposedly ALREADY earned, and Rudy Phan says "you really should do it to protect yourself" when in fact, it does NO SUCH THING.

Another lie busted.
