TVI Express Lies from around the World: Here's tviexpress.be

Greater Coat of Arms of BelgiumImage via WikipediaThe .be domain is Belgium, and their TVI Express website decided to add a few standard questions beyond what's on TVI Express main website, and it's pretty hilarious. As they basically pointed to black and claim it's white. 

I admit I don't read French, so I will generally comment on the meaning, and not pick on grammar or diction.

The actual FAQ in French is here, and Google translation is here.

1. What is really my business in TVI EXPRESS?


Your goal is simple. You just talk to your entourage ITV EXPRESS concept, its benefits but also its system of remuneration that is winning ....
So I get paid just by talking? Mua-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. I'll jump ahead to one of their other questions, as it's related...

5. What should I do to increase (cycle) in the table (Traveller Board)?


The first thing you need to do is sponsor two (2) people who join ITV Opportunity Express under you. Secondly, you need to encourage and teach those two downline (people you have referred) to sponsor more people and duplicate the process. After these two simple steps you will make money even while you sleep!


And what do you GET when you cycle? You get PAID!


10. What do I receive when I cycle?


This club provides compensation in the form of commissions on the accession of new members, and the benefits they buy at the travel agency. You get the following committees, after exiting the respective tables:
1) You go out in Table 1 (Traveller Board): You receive $ 500 cash ($ 250 + a eVoucher a $ 250 value).
2) You go out in Table 2 (Express Board): You receive 10,000 dollars and re-entry in Table 2 (Express Board).

So you don't get paid for just talking. You get paid by RECRUITING other people. This website is already a liar. But is it legal? They claim it is!

18. By joining TVI EXPRESS, which is exactly the product I receive?

TVI Express is a private-club trips. Membership provides therefore entitled to access, unlimited in time, the travel agency Travel Express, which offers excellent prices on flights, holidays, cruises, car rentals, etc. ....

It is this product that is used to classify TVI Express in the category of network marketing, in full accordance with French and European laws.



Ah, here's an admission that TVI Express is "network marketing". Isn't it interesting that a bunch of TVI Express presidential associates, including Ms. Goernawan in Indonesia, actually told local media that TVI Express is NOT MLM? And what about Rudy Phan claims TVI Express is not only NOT MLM, it is BETTER than MLM, or network marketing?

You can infer two facts: 1) TVI Express allows their members to post bull**** lies anywhere,  and 2) not even the TVI Express members actually understand their system

However, they claim they are fully compliant with E.U laws. WHAT *does* E.U. say about pyramid scheme? It is outlawed under Fair Business Practices: Black List. (Link to PDF file). Here's the relevant excerpt:


pg 20, Chapter 4, "The Black List"

The commercial practices on the Black List are unfair in all circumstances and no case-by-case assessment against other provisions of the Directive is required. The list may only be modified at EU level, by revision of the Directive with the involvement of the European
ParliamentMember States). and the Council (representatives from
Pyramid schemes
“Establishing, operating or promoting a pyramid promotional scheme where a consumer gives consideration for the opportunity to receive compensation that is derived primarily from the introduction of other consumers into the scheme rather than from the sale or consumption of products.”

So if you substitute "TVI Express into the definition itself, you get:
Pyramid scheme: establishing, operating, or promoting a pyramid promotional scheme where a TVI Express distributor gives consideration (pay $250+fees) for the opportunity to receive compensation (the $250+$250, then $10000+whatever) that is derived primarily from the introduction of other consumers into the scheme (recruit at least two people, and teach them each to recruit two more), rather than from the sale or consumption of products ("you do not need to sell any products").

Is there anything that doesn't fit? Nope. TVI Express is INDEED a pyramid scheme under European Union law.  Thus, full compliance with law is yet ANOTHER LIE.

Indeed, they compounded it later with yet another Q&A

23. How can I sum up my work for TVI EXPRESS?


Advertising by word of mouth ITV EXPRESS and get only 2 godchildren is the assurance of winning at least double your investment and opening up a premium of $ 10 000.


Or reworded, "Talk about TVI Express, recruit two people, and get a chance to double your investment and get a chance to get up to $10000".

That's a pyramid scheme all right, since it sells nothing and recruits people. Yet they STILL claim they are compliant, because they claim to be selling travel. How do they explain their own FAQ item then?

3. I need to sell?

TVI Express is a unique e-commerce that allows you to build businesses around the world and it sits quietly in front of your computer. You just have to talk ITV EXPRESS and its benefits around.

What's even more hilarious, this question was colored in GRAY instead of black, almost as if they don't want people to really see this question and answer.

And finally, they have to audacity to link to a general internet scam explanation website, that explains various types of Internet scam (Nigerian, fake certified check, fake mystery shopper, Western Union pay, and so on), implying that TVI Express itself is not a scam!
