Confirmation: TVI Express dead in India as of February 2012

Previously we have noted that TVI Express had changed their Indian address to "Elite Travel" sometime in 2012. Now we have an approximate date: February 2012.

How? Because I found this guy's resume that says he was employed as "Customer Service Manager" at TVI Express in Gurgaon, India Office, up to February 2012.

More Indonesian TVI Express websites STILL not aware business is illegal

Maybe they actually believe that local Indonesian government CANNOT outlaw a scam, which happened back on 03-AUG-2011?

Tarun Trikha on Facebook, ignores complaints on wall

Someone posted updates about the TVI Express broken promises on Tarun Trikha's Facebook wall. It was ignored. Tarun Trikha wants to launch his own booking portal (bookmytrip.com, in cooperation with someone who was involved with the YTBI scam), his own airline (which is not his own at all), and the hotel reservations have HUGE hidden surcharges.

Indonesia Wordpress Blog Got TVI Express Spam

There were only 4 entries on this blog, EVER, even counting the bogus "Hello World". The other two are about computers. So why is the most recent one about TVI Express Scam?

NEWSFLASH: First Indonesian TVI Express scammer convicted and sentenced for fraud. Where's Goenarni Goenawan?

UPEKS online just reported that the first TVI Express scammer, previously arrested in Majene, has been sentenced to nine months jail for fraud  (link is in Indonesian). However, this is a local "distributor". Where is Goenarni Goenawan, head of PT TVI Express Indonesia? SHE should be the one in jail!

NEWSFLASH: More Indonesian TVI Express victims report to police

More report of TVI Express victims in Indonesia going to the police... If a bit late.

"If money not tripled in two months full refund", yeah right.

Goernani Goenawan Publishing Book About Her Rise? Or Her Crimes?

According to a Business Paper in Indonesia (who apparently forgot to double check the source), Goenani Goenawan, leading Indonesian scammer of PT TVI Express, is publishing her biography celebrating rise of woman (i.e. her) in position of power in Indonesia.  NOTE: Following image was auto translated by Google.

The date of the event, as shown in the picture, was June 2011, though somehow this article JUST appeared in print.

However, as we reported before, PT TVI Express Indonesia, the company Goenawan was pushing, was declared illegal, and its license revoked by BKPM, the Indonesia business license board back on August 3rd, 2011.

As you can see, "zombie" articles are not limited to spammers. Even newspapers who don't check their sources can publish "zombie" articles that someone presents a scam in a favorable light.

And provide more ammunition for scammers to recruit more victims.

What does TVI Express have do with Rite Aid (drug store)? Absolutely nothing

Yet you will find them spammed together somehow... See for yourself.

The domain is registered to a "Rudy Hartono" of... Indonesia. The problem is Hartono is not exactly a surname. Indonesians usually have a "third name" that really distinguishes them if the first two names are the same. The most famous Rudy Hartono is a Chinese-Indonesian badminton player.

And indeed, the "tag cloud" on the right has Indonesian words.

Most Inappropriate Event Title from TVI Express

TVI Express has some pretty darn hilarious event titles. In 20-MAY-2010, they launched an event in Indonesia called "Shake the Nation".  (Look behind the singer, at least try to)

Mind you, this was less than 2 weeks after the nation of Indonesia was hit by a real earthquake... (9-MAY-2010) Which is about, oh, 7.2 on the Richter scale.

Guess Indonesians got their shaking, but not in the way they wanted!

Indonesia TVI Express Blog still up, but company already illegal

Back in August 3rd, 2011, Indonesian agency BKPM revoked PT TVI Express Indonesia's business permit, when they didn't bother responding to mandated changes within 30 days.

FOUR months later, there are still various Indonesian TVI Express websites active. Here's one on Nikami:

Some Egyptians are Deceived by TVI fake award again

According to Facebook, this TVI Express Egypt account is passing on that old BOGUS Award given to PT TVI Express Indonesia, the one that had its business license REVOKED back in August 2011.

As explained earlier, this award is bogus. It's called "International", but it's ONLY issued to Indonesian companies, and winners are solicited via random spam fax, and winners need to pay a large appearance fee to buy a table at the award banquet.

What's more, the winner, PT TVI Express Indonesia, lost their business license just a few months later when it was revealed they are operating under the wrong type of business license, and is under investigation by government as "money game" (i.e. pyramid scheme).

TVI Express Egypt, you don't want to end up like PT TVI Express Indonesia. Don't be stupid.

Who is uploading old TVI Express video **** to Youtube from Indonesia?

Recently, a bunch of videos showed up on Youtube from Indonesia. Following screen shot was captured on 20-NOV-2011, only hours after the video's upload, as you can see.

Look at first video. Who is Edward Aritonang? He is the police chief of Central Java, Indonesia.  So why is TVI Express naming him? It turns out, TVI Express recruited him to lend itself credibility. They are using his picture and everything at local events.

However keep in mind that TVI Express was declared "haram" (unclean) by Islamic Council of Indonesia in 2010, and declared illegally operating, with its business permit revoked in August 2011.

So which Indonesian moron is uploading video about a DEAD company? Let's find out.

The Youtube Account gave no details other than the guy's in Indonesia, but then the videos are Indonesian.

Checking the accountname tviexpress4world revealed a website, which is a co.cc, which actually means it's a domain forwarder. It was forwarded to a wordpress blog called tviexpress4world.wordpress.com

So the guy's name is Wayan Merdika. What else can we find about him? (BTW, that card is a fake. TVI Express don't issue membership cards.)

His SWOM account is inactive.

His Twitter account is inactive (only twitted ONCE, EVER, back in June 2010)

His Facebook group had no wall updates for over a year. Though he did spam the Brazil group.

There's an address that matches the phone number he gave out above:

And another commentary where he offers up a certain property in Indonesia for sale (same phone number)

He apparently is also head of  "Balinese Carving Team" (same phone number again)

And finally, a decent picture!  Which seems to match the picture in the Youtube profile. Name matches, and location (Bali, Indonesia) also matches.

This basically proves that this guy has NO IDEA WHAT HE WAS DOING, trying something, anything, everything.

This is the sort of people especially vulnerable to the TVI Express scam, but it doesn't explain what he was doing updating his Youtube channel with OLD video (those video first appeared on Youtube back in 2010) on a company that is no longer legal in Indonesia.

Why did you upload zombie videos, Mr. Wayan Merdika?

Tarun Trikha is now a confirmed plagiarist, in addition to scammer

Tarun Trikha sure had an interesting life thus far. South Africa called him "leader of 1 billion Rand scam", living the big life in suburbs of India, allegedly has his own corporate jet flying all over the world promoting his scam, TVI Express, and insinuate he's part owner in a new Indonesia airline to his followers.

So what's his website like? Full of plagiarized articles, unfortunately. See for yourself:

Looks pretty professionally written, right? That's because it is... by someone else:

They didn't change a SINGLE WORD. And the link at EzineArticles.com confirms this article had been online since May 2010.

Which proves beyond a doubt that Tarun Trikha is a plagiarist, in addition to being a scammer.

But then, I've proven before that most of his "expert watch" section on TVI Express website was stolen from a book by Randy Gage. So this is not a surprise to me at all.

A leopard can't change his spots, and a scammer can't stop scamming.

Pacific Royale Airline? More Generic Clipart

Previously we have some diehard TVI Express supports claim that Tarun Trikha is a majority owner in Pacific Royale Airways that's being launched in Indonesia sometime in 2012.

However, repeated study of various sources in Indonesia cannot confirm any sort of link between TVI Express and/or Tarun Trikha with this new airline (which is real), at least, not through any information that was NOT provided by Tarun Trikha or TVI Express (or their supporters). The closest they can get is "Indian Investor Mr. T". 

Furthermore, PacificRoyale.com is clearly registered by Tarun Trikha or people he control. 

Now that PacificRoyale.com got a content update, it's clear that this website can't be legit if they can't be bothered to find picture of a REAL PLANE, but instead, is using some free vector art found on the Internet somewhere. See for yourself:

And the freebie:

Either this airline is so poor it must resort to free clipart to make its website (not sign of competence), or this is made by a bull****er. 

Which is more likely? 

Another Filipino TVI Express supporter demonstrates lack of brain

A certain "Cris" posted two identical comments under two TVI Express related hubs:

 The IP address given is traced to Cavite, which is next to Manila, Philippines.

The problem is, NEITHER comment was posted in response of a review of TVI Express.

The first comment (with CRIS) was posted under "Real News Articles about TVI Express that Your Upline Would Not Dare to Show You". It was not a review, but links and excerpts from around the world, a dozen different countries, all saying TVI Express is a scam.

The second comment (with cris) was posetd under "TVI Express Weasel Review Volume 7", where I reviewed someone else's review, showing the readers that this reviewer is extremely biased, only talk about the good stuff, with distorted information, and none of the bad stuff.

Neither of which is a review of TVI Express. Yet "Cris" certain thinks they are. Yet "he" accuses me of "without brain or understanding"? Clearly, "Cris" flunked "reading comprehension" in school. He can't even post the comments under a proper hub, but must resort to posting irrelevant SPAM to get his point across.

And the part about changing lives in Indonesia? What a joke. PT TVI Express Indonesia has had their license revoked and members ARRESTED for fraud. Furthermore, we have proven time and time again "it pays therefore it is legit" is a fallacy.

Cris here is a parrot who can only do what his (her?) upline told him to do: go defend TVI Express. As a result, it proves TVI Express members are gullible, and easily mislead.
