Belated Update: Aussie TVI Express Scammer has NOT paid her fines

According to a report in the Sydney Telegraph newspaper back in December 2012, Teddi Jutsen, one of the trio of TVI Express scammers convicted in Australia of fraud, has NOT paid her fines for contempt of court charges.

The trio racked up contempt of court charges after they have been charged and their bank account frozen to prevent them from removing their ill-gotten gains. Teddi Jutsen, the court later alleged, abused the court provision that they are allowed to withdraw smaller amounts for living expenses. By going to multiple bank branches to withdraw various amounts below the limit, Jutsen was able to move out a larger sum of money than was allowed by the court. Details are unclear how much money was withdrawn.

It is unknown if ACCC, the agency that handled the prosecution, and thus will receive the fines, has received them from the fraudster trio. However, the court, which tracks the contempt fines, confirmed that it has NOT received any of the fines for the contempt charges.

Then came a report on December 5th that victims believe the police are not doing a good job and have complained to Human Rights Commission. As police only held suspects for 10 days, the perps are now free, but documents were seized by police as evidence.

According to the article, if convicted, the penalty is up to 4 years of jail sentence. However, it is not clear why is Gunarni Goenawan not been indicted, as she's the president of PT TVI Express Indonesia.

TVI Express Back in News In India: Workers Harassed If They Do Not Join

According to Times of India, railway workers were hounded by their supervisors to join TVI Express scam, and if they don't they were harassed for minor work violations.

Instead of doing a thorough investigation for this abuse of authority, Railway of India simply transferred two of the top perps to other locations (one could be considered a promotion), and apparently, nothing else.

TVI Express victims in India confronts their recruiter

Times of India reports that "ponzi" scheme TVI Express has victimized thousands. In this case, apparently a India Railways official has used his clout to recruit many of his employees and they are now demanding justice.

The perp countered by accusing the underlings of being jealous and "not completing the chain" (i.e. recruit enough people).

The only way to get justice is to report the crime, folks.

Well, well, my own name on Ripoff Report... as a scammer! How cute

Someone pointed me to my own handle KsChang on Ripoff Report!

http://www.ripoffreport.com/internet-fraud/kacey-chang/kacey-chang-kschang-ripped-me-e0e63.htm

Complaint about "Kacey Chang", posted December 2011. 

The complaint got a couple details right: I do run a few blogs, and I do live in in San Francisco, but that's obviously from my Blogger profile, which can be read easily by any one.

But the fact that the guy can't even get my name spelled right, linked to an empty G+ profile (I have my own and it's not that) and provided a picture of random Asian dude in Los Angeles (Staples Center, hmmm?) makes this a rather lame fake complaint.

What's more, the timing for this, December 2011, would make it BEFORE Zeek and before Wazzub.

Which pretty much leaves TVI Express members as the ones making up this ****.

And given the lack of details (except the stuff found on my Blogger profile), it is probably one of the people who came to "debate" me on my blog.

Which suggests that it's some Filipino fans of TVI Express, as TVI Express is dead just about everywhere else.

Checking up on an ex-TVI... Dave Kettner

Dave Kettner claims to be network marketer since 1998, and he's very excited about his current biz... sell "chewable" vitamins.  Clearly, he's not excited enough to put it actually in his "current" job, but instead, left the dead TVI Express bogus scam position as his "current" job.

Even that "team" he belonged to, "triumph together" is long dead.

But what else was he excited about? According to his Internet activity, he's only excited about potential scams.

In July 2011 he was promoting ZeekRewards, a suspect Ponzi scheme, which according to him, is promising 1.2% DAILY return.

Searching for that phone number he gave brought up a link to "Diamond Holiday", a clone of TVI Express scam:

Why is it that once a person joins a pyramid scheme, they almost always join another one?
