More Pacific Royale announcement? Hah!

TVI Express morons are treating the appearance of "Pacific Royal Airways" on Facebook as another "proof" that the airline is legitimate, and it is owned by TVI Express. Here's one sample post:

So what's wrong with this picture?

First of all, there is ZERO PROOF that Tarun Trikha or TVI Express is involved in this airline. The ONLY thing that came close? There's a post in TempoInteractiv (Indonesia newspaper) that says one of the Indonesia owners is Gunarni Gunawan, and there's an Indian investor called Mr. T. TVI Express followers IMMEDIATELY claimed this is Goernani Goenawan, president of PT TVI Express Indonesia, and Mr. T *must* be Tarun Trikha, without further confirmation or proof.

Tarun Trikha, of course, fed the rumor from his Twitter account seeking "suggestions for new slogan". He never said he owned it, just that he wants your suggestions. However, given that 1) PT TVI Express Indonesia no longer has a business license (revoked August 3, 2011 by BKPM), 2) and owning a part share in an airline (which has yet to purchase a single plane) would require a HUGE bankroll, does 3) noted liar Goernani Goenawan, who had previously claimed that TVI Express is NOT MLM despite TVI Express website stating so, actually own a piece of this upcoming airline? If you actually think so, I have some beachfront property in Arizona that you may be interested in...

Second, the website that they claim to be at? If you go to the Facebook page, it says they are at PacificRoyale.com. It was started on 10-SEP-2011. There is no other info, and thus, NO proof that this is actually the company that started this Facebook ID.

If you actually go to the website, you get:

That doesn't say much about the company, does it?

If you check who owns PacificRoyale.com... you'll find that "private registration" was turned on, there is NO ownership info visible. Clearly, they do NOT want people to know who actually owns this domain. However, we can take a reasonable guess...

If you do reverse IP search on PacificRoyale.com, you'll find that it's hosted on the same server as TVI Express website:

Some of these domains have hidden reg, some don't. And guess who owns Bookmytrip.com? V2 Global / Tarun Trikha.

And the registrar, NameCheap? Tarun Trikha subscribes to their feed. Says so on his own Twitter page.

Further note: NameCheap is in the US, and the server is physically in... Ukraine.

Thus, PacificRoyale.com and the Facebook profile is just a smokescreen started by Tarun Trikha.

And one last item Tarun Trikha fans fail to realize... that airline is NOT getting off the ground any time soon. They obviously don't keep up with the news, since the Indonesia Transportation Ministry have NOT approved the business plan of the airline as of 8-SEP-2011. The airline originally planned to start flying in November, but that is unlikely to happen. Try 2012 instead.

And even when it DOES fly, there is STILL NO LINK between it and Tarun Trikha other than what Tarun Trikha manufactured.

"Jane" from Philippines demonstrates her ignorance about the Internet and life in general

A certain "Jane" from Manila, Philippines posted multiple derogatory comments on my TVI Express scam busting hubs, exposing her own ignorance about scam, Internet, life, and all that.

On "TVI Express Exposed" hub, Jane declared:

this site is very much full of negative and unprofessional aura..are you a fagget or what?(you sound like one).plus,the ironic part is you criticize TVI but what i can see in your ads here are airfare,hotel accom.and travels..tsk tsk quiet disturbing and suspicious. if you'll not post my comments,plainly i could say that this site is bias and is very much manipulated by what your itching ears just want to see and hear..hhhmmnn.

Well, "Jane", if that is indeed your name...

"Negative and unprofessional aura"? Are you one of those psychics who believe in such stuff? No wonder you got taken in by scam!

"Fagget"? You can't even spell correctly. Can you learn how to use a spell checker? Name-calling is so lame.

My ads are presented by Google Ads and other ads who simply pick relevant ads based on keywords. I don't control them. Thus, "Jane" just demonstrated her TOTAL ignorance of how Internet ads work.

Then Jane also posted on a different hub, somewhat more civil... as that was posted first:

kschang, why are you doing this? what's your purpose/objective? or Did you have bad experiences with TVI? you seemed to be very well versed with all those information..
do you feel happy whenever you had stopped someone from joining to TVI? and in return,were you able to help anyone attain financial freedom? or even offered an alternative/option for those people who has no food on their tables..just earning enough from their hand to mouth consumption..
What can you say to those people who indeed enjoy the compensations they got from TVI? like they were able to buy their houses,cars and have gone to their dream family vacations...should they be put to jail for getting that reward from TVI,if they're indeed operating illegally?
Thanks and all the best to your endeavours!

Apparently the first thing any TVI Express members think of when they see criticism is "sour grapes". Yet, not a single refutation. The best "Jane" can do is "enjoy compensations they got from TVI Express", which is proof that it IS scam, as it was paid by all the OTHER people who joined. Yet she treats that as if it somehow DISPROVES all the facts laid out.

Then she pulls out the victim card: should participants in TVI Express be put in jail for promoting TVI Express if it is illegal? The answer is yes, and people HAVE BEEN PUT IN JAIL FOR DOING SO!

Every one of Jane's "points" are idiotic, stupid, and appeal to emotion instead of logic.
