...But Justice Nicholas found there was "no evidence" that any member had "obtained the ... vacation or a companion flight". In his judgment he said: "I am satisfied that the TVI Express System was a pyramid-selling scheme".
I had a very amusing experience on radio this morning. After last week's coverage of the TVI Express pyramid scheme, when I reported on it being illegal in Namibia, Georgia, Indonesia and under aggressive investigation in South Africa and Australia, some of the local TVI Express people were very cross indeed and demanded a right of reply.
So they got one this morning. However given that what I'd said was entirely true, their right of reply wasn't unconditional. I was there this morning to respond to some of their comments.
They genuinely seemed confused about what they wanted to say. They described themselves at various points as "investors"and then "not investors", "employees", "directors", "distributors" and "members" of TVI Express.
At one point one fo them said that the Bank of Namibia was considering changing their ban in Namibia but changed the subject quickly when two of us pointed out that we'd contacted the Bank who had denied any such thing...
"By now “TVI Express scam” is a search term getting pretty ok traffic, and that’s why website owners will post articles with TVI Express scam in their titles, not to harm the company but simply to get their website to rank better in the search engines."Gee, what's that in your title? "TVI Express Scam -- it is possible to make money with TVI Express" WEASEL! A two-face weasel! Trying to play BOTH SIDES!
I been in network marketing for more than 8 years by now and know what I am talking about. I have seen MLM companies come and go, but TVI Express is here to stay for a long time to come.Did he mention that TVI Express is DEAD in China, US, Australia, and most of Africa? Nope. Did he mention that TVI Express is accused of fraud in a dozen countries? Nope.
The TVI Express Scam accusations are generated by lazy folks who just don’t understand what network marketing is all about. Are going to find out??He just dismissed everybody's argument by lumping them with the excuse "they don't understand us".

Why no authority has initiated any legal action against him and got him arrested.The interesting part about TVI Express is it is a totally INTERNATIONAL scam, but the actual scams are perpetrated by LOCAL members. Thus, only LOCAL members can be prosecuted under LOCAL laws. Remember, Tarun Trikha is not recruiting anybody. It's the LOCAL people who are recruiting. Tarun Trikha is the cheerleader who is cheering you all to jump blindly into the scam. He had not committed any crime in a country that can convict him of fraud.
I know many people who had used TVI Express voucher redeemed online for booking with International Hotel Chain and they are all satisfied and happy. Infact some of them have purchased another hotel voucher for their next vacation.Unfortunately, all that proves is that TVI Express CAN book some real trips. But that's about as useful as saying "I know many people who made a lot of money by investing in Bernie Madoff. In fact, some of them invested even MORE money in Bernie Madoff".
Image via WikipediaPreviously we covered "MyDreamTVI" Wordpress Blog out of Indonesia. There are plenty more humor that can be mined there.Company engaged in the field of TRAVEL AGENT, TVI Express provides a product that is associated with SERVICE FOR TRAVELIf TVI Express sells travel, why is TVI Express Indonesia claims they do NOT sell travel? Their registered business is "computer hardware, parts, and consultancy".
TVI Express provides discount to its members, if you want to use the services of TVI EXPRESS.Okay, so I sell travel, and if I want some of the discounts, I can buy at a discount myself. Great... However, why does TVI Express FAQ #3 says "You do not need to sell any products"?
Besides, TVI Express also provides business opportunities for its members to improve Traf life, to increase revenue, in order to live well with a better quality of life.So what exactly is the business opportunity? How much travel do I have to sell to improve life?
Income earned by the members is the result of hard work has been done, with a share and sell products TVI Express International.This is where the translator fails me. I couldn't quite tell what exactly is the meaning of this sentence. Is TVI Express the product? Or is there some OTHER product you're supposed to sell for TVI Express?
When I was first interested in TVI Express the one thing I did not do was investigate the negatives. Yes there were articles out there with others saying to be wary mainly due to the fact that no-one could find the offices they claimed to working from and the founders were not able to be contacted. All I focused on was the positives where people, (people I did not know), were claiming they making money.He's into Pyxism now, but that's his choice.
Do I regret This? Yes, greed was driving me make my decision. The higher the amount someone said they had made the more excited I got.
If you have or are conducting business with them, you may want to consider visiting the following sites:
Image via WikipediaA long while back (May 2010) I found some reference on a Maori website about TVI Express. I posted a rebuttal. It's worth revisiting, as they go after a lot of minorities by exploiting their tight-knit community "social network".
It generates an income by talking,showing & net-working with People,Whanau,Friends & anyone else you want to share this business with,here in Aotearoa & Over-seas.
The natural reaction with most People is to be cautious,careful, negativity & skepticism,a natural humane response,i can deal with that kai te pai,but at this stage i just want you all to have a look for your-selves and see how it works.
The benefits & Financial gain it will create for you,far out weighs the one time payment to start you off,is in my opinion over shadows the doubts & Awangawana you might have in seeing how its structured & the belief in the system that it really does work, Whanau helping Whanau & so on,for me i want to get out of this rut im in,i want to be able to not worry about paying my bills,i believe this venture in TVIexpress will help me & my Family achieve all of this,koi na ra mo naia nei,naku noa.This can be basically summed up as "it's okay to fear, just look, you want the money, I know you do. Ignore the fear. Join and make me money."
Image via WikipediaRudy Phan loves to redefine truth in order to somehow prop up TVI Express. Previously he had redefined borders of London, left out a largest expense in TVI Express and use that as evidence to "prove" TVI Express can pay lots of money, claim TVI Express is halal even though he has no qualifications, claim TVI Express is NOT MLM directly against tviexpress.com wordings, claim it only takes 8 people to cycle out when it takes 14, and much more. Today, we will bust ANOTHER one of his lies: he claims TVI Express is NOT a Ponzi scheme. His article can be found here. First of all, we need to realize that this ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment scheme. While TVI Express is not an investment, but business network. Therefore, there are no guarantees and certainty the time when a person or when a turnover to $ 10,000.What Rudy Phan have done here is narrowed in on the words "fraudulent investment scheme", and claim "TVI Express is not investment!". Rudy Phan fails to notice that TVI Express operating model is later members funding earlier members, and that is the fundamental nature of a Ponzi scheme. Rudy Phan cannot disprove this, so he plays "word game" instead.
This paragraph does not defend TVI Express at all. It simply made a generalization: people join MLM to make money.
June 02TVI Express is NOT a SCAM!!!
To all you negative network marketers out there. This is a cold hard fact. Most people join network marketing businesses purely to make money. It does not really matter what the product is.. it is all about the right time & right place. Admit it to yourselves, if you were in the top 50 people to see a product being released via a networking strategy you would jump on board because at the end of the day everyone is trying to get out of the rat race and the promise of easy money and financial freedom is too tempting.
Image via WikipediaRight on front page of Rudy Phan's TVIExpress Dollar are "Top Ten Reasons To Join". However, here are proof that all ten are lies or half truths19. How do I receive my commissions?What they don't tell you is that the "prepaid card" is only available in certain locations (probably not yours), and all transfers must be applied and approved by TVI Express, and unspecified taxes and fees will be levied without explanation, and the process takes several days or weeks, and can be denied without explanation.
All commissions are instantly transferred to your secure eWallet, which is protected by our double check secure system. Funds can be withdrawn to your bank accounts, or can be received in forms of other ecurrencies from your backoffice. You can also choose to load the funds onto your very own TVI Express prepaid card, which is accepted at tens of thousands of ATM’s & POS terminals worldwide.
