Investigating... Pastor Jerry Dailey testimonial of TVI Express

Another testimonial on TVI Express website is a Pastor Jerry Daily, which is reproduced below:

First, let's find the church Pastor Dailey goes at... that turns out to be... Macedonia Methodist Church of San Antonio Texas.   http://clergyconnections.com/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userProfile&user=192&Itemid=34

Yep, that's his picture alright. However, it seems Pastor Dailey has no business acumen. On a "network" he listed several programs he had joined:

Note that there is no "TVI Express" in here.

So what is "Narc That Car"? A scam, according to Better Business Bureau, with F rating (worst possible)

How about "My Shopping Genie"? Not that bad, but unlikely to make money.

Guess that means he ain't into TVI Express either. Another Ex-member, it seems.

TrustLink, a BBB program, also calls TVI Express a scam

Trustlink, a BBB sponsored community, found TVI Express to be a scam.

Think about that.

Rise of the TVI Express Clones

TVI Express was very obviously a pyramid scheme, as it doesn't sell anything, and pays on recruiting. It is barely disguised, and only ignorant fools who are willing to bend the truth, such as Rudy Phan, and greed of people around the world have allowed it to run for more than 2 years.

Many clones have risen ready to attract various members either disillusioned with TVI Express' scam-y nature, or is forced to move to something else, hoping to recoup their losses.

I am NOT saying these are scams, but they are similar enough to TVI Express that you should be VERY VERY careful when you see THEIR names mentioned and you are being recruited.

* Pyxism -- Better Business Bureau profile on Pyxism, A- rating, which is quite good

* Bon Voyage 1000 -- possible compliance issues raised by CitizenCorps
EDIT: Another review by Behindmlm raises more similarities with TVI Express the scam

* DreamStyle Vacations -- okay review from CitizenCorps. However, keep in mind that CitizenCorp gave TVI Express a glowing review, only to retract it months later

* Diamond Holidays -- CitizenCorp says it is probably NOT compliant as it's just as shady as TVI Express

* Sunrise Travel Club -- ALERT STATUS on Citizen Corp, same as TVI Express, probably a scam

* Club Sea Breeze / LGN Prosperity -- CitizenCorp negative review, sounds shady already.
EDIT: The review by BehindMLM shows "some" promise, but possible legal problems as well

* World Ventures -- reviewed by ExpertMLMReview, probably legitimate, needs confirmation

* Royal Cruise Matrix -- negative review from CitizenCorp, "does not offer a real product"

NOTE: I would recommend taking any "positive" review from CitizenCorps with many grains of salt. CitizenCorps gave TVI Express a glowing review in 2009, only to retract it months later. Negative reviews, however, are generally worth reading.

NOTE2: I know I linked to CitizenCorps a lot, but there are few if any legitimate reviews of these places. When you do search online, you mainly find marketing articles by members.
