More Hilarity: Ros Kaspi blog is "Healthy People and Pet Store"

Don't believe me? See for yourself:



http://healthypeopleandpetstore.typepad.com/blog/

Who's Ros Kaspi, you ask? Kaspi is half of the moronic duo who had been publishing increasingly hallucinatory entries about TVI Express, passing on messages from their uplines that made absolutely no sense at all. Some excerpts from past few weeks include



"TVI Express is having a convention in Florida in January 2011!" (except TVI Express has no such announcement, the alleged hotel has no such announcement, and basically NOBODY can confirm this) 



"TVI Express is opening a call center in Florida in 2011 or 2012!"  (they had two separate messages with two separate dates. Besides, call centers for US are usually in CENTRAL timezone)



"TVI Express had just hired a 'barrister of marketing' and my upline talked to him!"  (a "barrister" is a lawyer! What the **** is "lawyer of marketing?")



"TVI Express has hired lawyers to make themselves legal in the US!" (so that means they ADMIT TO BEING ILLEGAL, right? And why is there a message, from an upline, that says "do NOT call the lawyers to verify"?)

NONE of the information they gave above can be verified. All are dogma... It is because their upline said so.



They show every sign of having been indoctrinated into a cult. 

Learn the Scam Tactics TVI Express use to Trick People

Scam tactics used by TVI Express and its supporters were analyzed and distilled into this article:

http://hubpages.com/hub/TVI-Express-Scam-Tactic-Analysis-How-and-Why-Do-People-Fall-for-a-Scam

Actual samples of TVI Express and supporter lies and untruths are cited. 

Here's an excerpt:

Make it sound legitimate

TVI Express claims to be a networking marketing company, also known as multi-level marketing. It uses all the same terminology: it calls its members "distributors", it claims it pays out 72 cents out of every dollar brought in. It uses matrices. Its members "cycle out". So on and so forth. Just look at the following quotes from their own website:

"Network Marketing — also Direct Selling or Multi Level Marketing is the most powerful system of free enterprise in our modern world, and it is the business model that TVI Express chose from the beginning."
-- http://www.tviexpress.com/financial.php

"Today, TVI stands as the poster child for modern MLM done right"
-- http://www.tviexpress.com/financial.php

"TVl's first month of sales was bigger than any other network marketing company known, and we're still exceeding sales projections."
-- http://www.tviexpress.com/pop-up/why-tvi.php

"Network Marketing can be an amazing business opportunity, but it takes a lot of hard work, and we [TVI Express] are dedicated, above all else, to support each and every one of our distributors, from those just starting out, to the most experienced business leaders."
-- http://www.tviexpress.com/aboutus.php

However, keep in mind that in its own FAQ, TVI Express stated:

3. Do I need to sell any products?

No. You don’t need to sell any products. TVI Express is a unique e-commerce opportunity allowing you to build the Business around the globe sitting at your home.

-- http://www.tviexpress.com/faq.php

How can you be network marketing if you don't need to sell anything? That becomes clear when you read their other FAQs... Just recruit, and you'll be making money while you sleep. The membership is for... selling more memberships. That is a pyramid scheme.

People only see what they want to see, and hear what they want to hear. It is more comforting to them. In case of TVI Express, they see network marketing buzzwords, and automatically accept it as network marketing, even though there's nothing to sell, just recruiting.

Grimes and Reese confirms that TVI Express is illegal in the US

From Grimes and Reese website:

“If a program compensates participants, directly or indirectly, merely for the introduction or enrollment of other participants into the program, it is a pyramid. ”

– http://www.mlmlaw.com/library/guides/Primer.htm website of Grimes and Reese, MLM Attorneys

You join TVI Express, you get paid for filling the board with recruits, and not sell anything.

TVI Express spokesman admits to TVI Express being illegal in the US

From unofficial announcement passed from an upline:

2. Mr Trikha also confirmed again that his attorneys in the US are currently working on compliance but also asked for people not to send emails or make calls to them since it ties up the attorneys and their office.

 So in other words, Tarun Trikha basically admitted that TVI Express is illegal (non-compliant) in the US.



What's even MORE interesting is Mr. Trikha also begged his members NOT to verify the claim that the lawyer is actually working on behalf of TVI Express. 

More Hilarity... do people know what Aknon stands for?

Search on Internet shows that "aknon" is "pimple" in Esperanto.



It is also a city in Everquest needed in a certain quest.

Other than that, there are some gamers using aknoN as their gametag, but I haven't found any references yet to origin. It appears to be a word in transliteration of Persian, but it does not appear to be a word in Hindi or English, and does not appear to be a name.

This is may just be ANOTHER joke from TVI Express. They've always tweaked the language to include a lot of verbal jokes for people who aren't skeptical.


Previously they used PIMPS.WS as their stream server. No, I am NOT kidding.

Or claimed that they are a "tsunami" (which, as we know, left only devastation in its wake)


People who WANT to believe sees signs guiding them everywhere. People who are neutral looks at the believers and wonders what's wrong with them. 

Even more idiocy from remaining TVI Express North America members Kaspi and Jackson

Kaspi and Jackson, who runs a TVI Express member website called IncreaseMyMonthlyIncome. They've published some crazy claims before, such as claiming a TVI Express convention in the Florida, US in 3 months even though TVI Express has no announcement doing so. Today, they released even MORE unconfirmed information, which is just... idiotic.

They claim that their upline (the new one, since the old one quit after getting a "cease and desist" from state of Georgia) ...

Darren Aikens TVI Presidential in the United States today had a webinar with quest speaker Aknon, who is the current TVI Express Barrister of Marketing. 

Do they even know what a "barrister" is? A barrister is what the Brits call a LAWYER or attorney. What the **** is a "lawyer of marketing"? What sort of a lawyer is he that won't even give his full name? And where does he practice law? India? VP of marketing or president of marketing, I can believe. LAWYER OF MARKETING? Are they kidding me!?!?!?!



And then here's the bombshell:

Aknon has been Barrister of Marketing for one month

 Then there's the weasel paragraph (bold sentence was bolded by me):

TVI has had to make some minor adjustments in other countries in order to fully comply with regulations. They have all been completed and now do not have any issues in these countries. TVI is now focusing on the United States and if there needs to be any adjustments to fully comply it will be taken care of as quickly as possible. In order to comply with US regulations a company has to have a “retail” product. Aknon was fully aware of this and will keep US TVI members up to date with any news as it happens. He was not at all trying to dodge the issue but stated that “yes” TVI has all possible people working on making sure all regulations are going to be adhered to now and into the future.

So in other words, they KNEW ALL ALONG TVI Express is NOT legal in the US, but they kept on recruiting members any way! Can they even CITE what laws that they are trying to comply with? No! And this guy is a "barrister"?



More like bulls**tter.

More announcements from ex-TVI Patrick Dejour

Mr. Patrick Dejour, TVI Express North America, was remarkably honest about his own failure regarding TVI Express, and seems to be doing his best in spreading REAL information about TVI Express. Here's a very interesting announcement from his group:

September 12, 2010

After Full Investigative Research, the following can be Verified

  

After full investigative research, the following can be verified:

1) The Cease and Desist order in the state of Georgia is permanent

2) Several leaders have been identified in the state of Florida; state attorney has been contacted and a Cease and Desist order has been recommended

3) Investigative reporters propose to expose TVI Express as illegal in the state of Florida

4) Any leaders found promoting TVI Express will be subject to fines and prosecution in these states

5) RCMP in Canada have banned TVI Express

6) Tarun Trikha cannot get a Visa to enter the United States


It is estimated that TVI Express will be completely shut down within the next 60 days.

For further information:  info@tvinorthamerica.com  or call 206-350-9071

So Florida, possibly Hawaii, and Maryland may be acting upon TVI Express very soon. Remember, there is no confirmation for any of these news, as no source were cited except (1), which is supposedly witnessed by Mr. Dejour (he's the recipient).

Who's telling tall tales? Kapi and Jackson, who runs "increasemymonthlyincome", is claiming a CONVENTION in Florida in  January 2011.

Who's writing fiction, do you think? My bet is on Kaspi and Jackson, but you should decide for yourself. 

Sherry Dossey, TVI Express "leader", defends her failure on Hubpages

Sherry Dossey is one of the top TVI Express leaders in the US, and when the sky came falling down (TVI Express ordered to "cease and desist" in state of Georgia), hundreds of members felt betrayed, as it was Dossey that recruited them into the scam. What was her response?

I normally don't commit on anything negative such as this, but no one is responsible for any body loosing any money in their business but themselves. I put together a perfect system but we do not live in a perfect world so it didn't work. The system did not fail...The people failed the system and blamed me. I did everything I could do to make sure everyone made money. I told them we had to have at least 85 to 90% of the people working the business to pull everything back on track. If this had happened everyone would have been making a lot of money. These people put in $250 dollars and set back for a free ride thinking we would do all the work and they would draw big checks. At first everything worked perfect, but the bigger it grew we could not keep up with doing all the work. Only 8% of the people worked this business. A lot of the people that didn't work made money. and yes there were some that worked that got in at the end and got hurt. but nobody was responsible. You go open a Burger King and never leave your tv set to unlock the doors, how much money will you make. That is exactly what happened here. No different except it was less than $300 dollars instead of $300,000+.
I am so sorry and have taken more bad things said to me and about me than most people will in their life.
I will always believe in team work and will always help others be successful.
God Bless,
Sherry

See the problems? Even today, she refused to accept that she lead people into a scam. Just read those sentences:




"no one is responsible for any body loosing any money in their business but themselves"  -- except it wasn't a business, but a scam, and you were the recruiter.

"The system did not fail...The people failed the system and blamed me" -- of course they blamed you... you recruited them and were their upline.

"I told them we had to have at least 85 to 90% of the people working the business to pull everything back on track" -- even now she doesn't understand that a business have to SELL SOMETHING to non-members, not just recruit. Recruit, recruit, and recruit means pyramid scheme.







Her explanation of the failure is "blame it all on the people who refuse to further participate in a scam".

Is TVI Express hacking blog sites to post TVI Express spam?

The more I researched TVI Express, the more TVI Express spam I am finding on all sorts completely irrelevant blog sites... like Car Insurance, Abortion (!), Shoes, Band Fandom, and so on.
Here's one on car insurance...  http://carsinsurance.ebloge.com/has-anyone-ever-filled-a-claim-with-nationwide/
Yet it's clear that this blog post WAS NOT about TVI Express. The comments were about Nationwide.  Somehow the content was overwritten with TVI Express spam.
Is there a coordinated attack on blogs to spread TVI Express spam? It is not out of the question... Remember, Ted Nuyten's website was taken down by a persistent DDoS attack when it published a TVI Express expose. So this demonstrated (albeit unprovable) capability of such hacking.
Why spam? Two reasons. 1) It props up search engine and Alexa ratings. 2) it drowns out critics voice, such as this little blog.
