Carlos Anastacio wrote on his blog the 5 signs of a MLM Pinnochio. Is your TVI Express recruit/distributor/member trying to get you into TVI Express, or your "upline", a MLM Pinnochio? (the version below is slightly edited for length)

1.)    Most MLM Pinocchio’s will promise more money than you know is possible.  You should question how they come up with their income promises and never feel silly questioning your gut instincts when it comes to the sponsors. 

2.)    Does the MLM sponsor have money?  Sponsors can be very profitable so when there is not proof of substantial income to show what they have done monetarily, you could have a red flag waving in your face.

3.)    How long your upline have been in business can be a tell-tale sign if s/he is a MLM Pinocchio.  You will not want to use the newest one on the web because there is not proof of what they are promising you will work. 

4.)    Not giving enough support can surely be a bad sign.  The MLM Pinocchio may tell you that they will give great support but if you’ve experienced unacceptable support, you’ve probably run into a MLM Pinocchio.

5.)    When you start dreaming about Pinocchio at night and day dreaming about being as smart as Jiminy Cricket you’ve probably figured it out for yourself but have not wanted to admit it to yourself just yet.

 If your upline is just repeating the drivel the company itself puts out, with no answers to any of the concerns, you should be very cautious...
