TVI Express "press release" printed as news in Indonesia

Apparently TVI Express "distributors" (of nothing) in Indonesia is willing to pay reporters to print their "press release" as "news" about how prosperous they will be. In 2010 we saw several examples of such "articles" printed by various small local papers who basically got a ONE-sided story. Here is one example, fresh off the press (again, Google Translate-d). My comments will be in blue.

THERE are many ways to invest. TVI Express offers a cheap way to invest, but the promise of multiple benefits. Benefits do not come overnight. Members are required to work hard and continue to develop its network. If all goes well, a bonus of $ 10,000 to your property. A number of tantalizing.

Note that there is no mention of SELLING anything. The writer mentions "invest", "work", "develop network", and "temptation" (tantalizing), but nothing about selling. I know the translation is iffy, but it is suspicious already! So how does one get $10000?

TVI Express is an international business network. The main selling vouchers hotel room. Members who wish to join must buy a voucher room. All options available rooms from hotel chains worldwide.

"Investnya not too big. In our team, a new member must buy a two-bedroom voucher. Why should I buy two? We explain later if anyone wants to become a member, "Fatta said Nature, the team leader TVI 1117.

Now they mention "selling vouchers of hotel rooms". However, this is again, inaccurate! What happened to TVI Express promise of 7-day- 6-night accommodation of 2 AND airplane tickets? That's right on TVI Express frontpage! Clearly this guy does not understand what TVI Express itself offers! When did that shrunk to just a "hotel room voucher"?  And how do you earn $10000 again? By selling voucher? How many vouchers do I have to sell to earn $10000? If I sell the vouchers to new members, I'm just recruiting! THERE IS NO PRODUCT!

Team 1117 is a separate team that stood in the TVI. In Balikpapan, Fatta became leadernya. He has been three times to get a bonus of $ 10,000 and a pioneer in East Kalimantan. Now, at Aberdeen there are about 100 people who become members.

"Our network is solid. We try to help the member who is under. I do not want to be too forced to find a member, but I see to all members who are under productive, "he said. "Our achievement is, scored 33 members who managed to get a bonus of $ 10,000. I would like to see, which one can network like that, "he said, a little boasting.

But he never said anything about HOW did he earn that $10000, did he? He did so by recruiting about 200+ people into the "boards"! 

Last night, around 15 team members gathered at the 1117 Aberdeen Restaurants Shanghai. They celebrated one of its members who get a bonus of $ 10,000. Members who get the bonuses are Kaltimulia Chainur Diamonds. He became a member since November ago. Diamonds including the first member recruited by Fatta. Later, after the diamond, some other members are also ready to get the bonus.

 "This is Mr. Akin also soon can the bonus," Fatta said, while patting the shoulders of Akin, who sat beside him. Akin is meant by Fatta is Akin Sidartha. "We're seeking to develop the network. But we bring this 1117 team. I strive for is a solid team. Our motto is transparent, honest and give priority to teamwork, "he added. (Qra)

The part about "recruiting" was left until near the end and only mentioned in passing ("first member recruited"). The fact is every one of those people have been recruited, and NOTHING has been sold. Instead, the members BUY things. How do you make money by buying things? You do not! It is a "money game", as it is referred to in Indonesia.
 Entire article is an "attaboy" article, completely self-congratulatory, offers NO useful information (in fact, misleading information) about TVI Express, and because it is printed in a local newspaper, gains automatic "credibility".
