Here's a blog about HydroCephalus
In 2009 it turned into a splog (spam blog)
And of course, we found a TVI Express spam in there, in Indonesian, no less.

TVI Express Picture Pirate Part 7 of ???
More TVI Express funny testimonials
The testimonials are mostly fake or sent in by idiots, and TVI Express duplicate the numbers so inflate the count. Here's an example... same guy send in TWO testimonials:
and again
Same guy, but one picture was manipulated to look slightly different. However, the message is almost exactly the same! Clearly, you can't trust that "698" different testimonies...

TVI Express Won an Award? Not when you read a little closer.
Image via WikipediaTVI Express announced that it had won some sort of award called "International Good Company Award of 2011". It was allegedly awarded by "International Achievement Foundation".The problem is, nobody knows where is this foundation located. It doesn't seem to exist online. It seem to only exist in Indonesia, and even there it seems to have multiple names.
And the event was NOT covered by ANY news agency, local or otherwise.
There is such an award called "International Good Company Award" in Indonesia, but the problem is it's not just "one award", but multiple awards for different cateogories. Supposedly PT TVI Express Indonesia won "best service excellence" (not TVI Express the main company, mind you)
Supposedly the award was presented to Goernawan, who, previously, told reporters that TVI Express is NOT multi-level, even though the main company website says it is.
Furthermore, keep in mind that in Indonesia, PT TVI Express Indonesia's stated business (on their business license) is "computers, electronics, and communications sales and consulting" (rough translation). So if they got "best service excellence", it has to be for THAT, not travel or "business opportunity".
What's even MORE interesting is so far TVI Express have NOT produced the "certificate" or plaque that one gets after receiving the award for all to see. You get a generic picture of the award, some clipart banner, and a TINY 1 inch by 1 inch photo that shows Goernawan receiving SOME sort of award.
Here's a different company that allegedly received the award at the SAME event:
http://www.highwaygames.com/body.php3?action=news_st&view=detail&news_id=3000
Date given was FEBRUARY 18, 2011, a FULL MONTH AGO.
So if this happened in FEBRUARY, but TVI Express only announced it now, what was TVI Express hiding for all these time, and only announced it March 18th, 2011?
And why is there ZERO coverage of this from any new media outlet (other than TVI Express itself)?
Last year's winner was... uh... "BEACH Laundry" franchise. The win was announced in May 2010. In February 2011 they announced another winner already. Hmmm... Is it me or is this award not what it appears to be?
Who are the judges? No idea. Who else won? No idea. There is no winner list at all.
This award is completely unknown outside of Indonesia, and TVI Express is trying to make a "big deal" out of it, when it's not even itself that had won, but one of its branches, a separate corporate entity, whose stated business is not even travel or business opportunity.
And the person receiving the award had previously lied to reporter, been reported so, directly contradicting official TVI Express statement on what it is. In other words, TVI Express ignores its leader's lies on newspaper, while emphasizing an award its leader won (for what?) that doesn't even apply to the main company.
Sorry, but even if this award is real, it only applies to one part of TVI Express, not the whole thing. Furthermore, it's for SERVICE excellence. It doesn't prove the rest of the business itself is not a scam.
Awards ceremony are in no way good judgment of character. Click here for an ironic award.

Investigating... Pastor Jerry Dailey testimonial of TVI Express
Another testimonial on TVI Express website is a Pastor Jerry Daily, which is reproduced below:
First, let's find the church Pastor Dailey goes at... that turns out to be... Macedonia Methodist Church of San Antonio Texas. http://clergyconnections.com/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userProfile&user=192&Itemid=34
Yep, that's his picture alright. However, it seems Pastor Dailey has no business acumen. On a "network" he listed several programs he had joined:
Note that there is no "TVI Express" in here.
So what is "Narc That Car"? A scam, according to Better Business Bureau, with F rating (worst possible)
How about "My Shopping Genie"? Not that bad, but unlikely to make money.
Guess that means he ain't into TVI Express either. Another Ex-member, it seems.

TVI Express Picture Pirate Part 6 of ???
Here's some weird testimonials... Who sends in a picture of a hotel that wasn't taken by him?
Here's the "Testimonials" page on TVI Express...
So that's a picture of 4 Seasons in Las Vegas, right? It is, but it's the PROMO picture that appears on various websites, such as this Japanese travel website:
http://www.ciel-jp.com/contents/usa_h.html
(Scroll down, exact same picture when you get to Four Seasons)
How are we supposed to treat the testimonial seriously when the writer can't even send a real picture? For all you know this is a FAKE testimonial!

TVI Express on LinkedIn? Nope! Just a couple distributors with illusions of greatness
Just the other day TVI Express appeared on LinkedIn... But it's not what you think.
http://www.linkedin.com/company/tvi-express
Turns out it's just a couple TVI Express distributors with delusions of greatness.
What's REALLY hilarious... There is no such domain active. The domain expired almost a month ago.
