TVI Express is another racketeer fleecing the gullible! Beware!

Yet another racketeer entered the long list of fraudsters in the name of direct selling. This fraudulent company is showing enormous profits through out life. But it never clarifies how it works. A friend from the North-East part of India reported that already several people had fallen prey to this fraudster.
I appeal to all Indians and people of other parts of world not to fall prey and lose all your hard-earned money to these crooks.
It is also a classic case of pyramid structure where only in the top of it would earn money and all others eventually lose their money. This is what is called mathematical impossibility. Do not be induced or lured by this type of quick bucks. You will lose all your money and finally blame yourself for losing money in such scheme. It is a mirage, my friends. Do not fall for them.
There is nothing like easy money and no short cuts for getting rich quick. You work hard and save money then only you will become rich.
There are enough number of fraudsters around us to rob our money. Beware of such fraudsters.
Now several insurance companies are coming out with multilevel marketing schemes and beware of such insurance policies.
Save money and enjoy your life with your own money. Do not give it away to these fraudsters in the false hopes of getting more money.

greenenergy:

Thank you for the offer to help. I really do appreciate it. I wish it were that easy. I can see you don't understand me, but I don't know how to make it any clearer.

I submitted my request for payout directly to my bank. I filled out the form in the back office under "request payout", entered my bank's swift code and it said "wire pending" for 24 days.

Financial team from tvi finally emailed me on Dec. 5th telling me they cancelled my request, put funds back in there and to use LR that direct wire transfers were on hold.

I have done alot of research on LR, not to mention too complicated and no one should have to sign up for yet another account to get paid when the ability for them to pay directly is there.

Well, WAS there. Have you seen the latest announcements? What I have been saying since Dec. 5th is true.

I went to the back office to see if they took away the "wire transfer" tab from the virtual bank part of the Financial Manager section and they DID!

Now, ONLY STP and LR. STP has too many complaints and I will not chance it. I emailed the financial team and support both regarding the 2 announcements posted LATE this evening regarding these.

Hope they respond cause it just keeps getting worse. At least they've validated what I've been trying to tell you. They will NOT pay me. I DID still ask them to make an announcement regarding the direct transfers being on hold.
3rd party transactions are NOT direct.

I am not the only one they refused to pay either. There are quite a few outwardly complaining now.
Had I known I would not be paid directly from them as I was told when I joined, I wouldn't have joined for sure.

This was also stated in conference calls before I joined. It's one of the main questions people want to know. How do we get paid? Always were told it can be deposited DIRECTLY to your bank account from the back office. You don't have to use LR.

Well, now you do. Either that or STP.

It's just not right.

Now the whole restrictions on fund transfers and voucher use too! What will be next?

Sorry greenenergy. I hope you can see where I am coming from now. When you join something and are told one thing and then you find out those things aren't true, you have been cheated/scammed. Whatever you want to call it.

There are many grumbling quietly, believe me. It's just really a sad state of affairs and I have now lost $1500 to tvi.

I was laid off in June, still currently unemployed, filed bankruptcy, lost my house. I really thought tvi was the answer to my prayers. Turns out it has been my worst nightmare. That $1500was my unemployment money. I have no other funds. Only unemployment which is half your normal rate of pay. So, I think you might understand more where I am coming from. I really wanted this to work. I really did.

It's my own fault that I lost the money. I have to live with that and believe me, it's a tough pill to swallow. Hope you have a good holiday season.

ranjan i have been hearing alot of horror stories of people getting their $250 when they cycled the first board and i have talked to people that said they are going to be paid $10 g but have taking those blogs and videos down because they still havnt received their money
I was in tvi feeder but that has froze up and decided to pursue other things,i am staying away from these 2x2 travel programs,cruise matrix and diamond exchange, they offer a lot of hype. I know people may not like what i am saying but the truth be told we need to have the truth be told, i was a sucker for these programs but i am not anymore
Anything that offers big fast money is just giving you a false sense of hope and that is wrong, so i hope everyone can rebound from this and move on and find something slow building and legitimate
thanks Mike

How To Make money with affiliate programs Today. Affiliate marketing is the easier and probably the most effective method to make money from the internet. It is basically, a kind of selling technique where potential buyers from your website are directed to the websites of sellers. For every click, the website owner gets a small commission.

Well obviously this is all just your opinion. Luckily I, like most people, don’t care about your opinion. All you are doing is making rash unfounded and obviously uniformed statements to generate hits on your website. Well done there but unless you have really tried this business maybe you should be keeping your opinions to yourself because this business does work but only if you work at it, like any other business.
The product is very good and the compensation plan is excellent. If this was a scam, which it definitely isn’t, 500000 members would be complaining by now. All I have heard are a few people, that didn’t try, complaining because it didn’t work for them. They all have it backwards. In any business you work for the business, it doesn’t work for you!

Hey BloggerWatchdog,

All you need to do to get money from your TVI ewallet is set up a Solid Trust Pay account and request your ewallet funds be transferred to your STP account. Once there take it by wire, check or ATM card. How hard is that?

I've been a serial entrepreneur ALL my life. Some were successes and some were not, but I've spent tens of thousands of dollars USD in start up costs. TVI gives you the opportunity to have your own business startup for just $250 and NOT one penny more! If one is going to stumble over $250 THEN THIS IS NOT FOR YOU! TVI is not a charitable organization, you don't make money sitting on your duff and making monsters out of rumor or second opinions from NON MEMBERS. You do what our country's forefathers did - Roll -Up Your Sleeve and get your BUTT going! I'd be happy to help anyone get started.

I agree it takes action to build a business but then again,I know for a fact several people who cycled out 7 weeks ago and still are waiting for their $250
Sounds fishy to me!

I am curious if you have experienced a slow down in the movement of your boards due to people purchasing multiple positions. Do you have an opinion about people getting in and working to move one position vs. buying multiple.

TVI express aka Travel Ventures International is the most talked about business opportunity since its launch in the US about a year ago. But like every opportunity especially over the internet their is much hesitation and labeling. I’ve done my due diligence for over 6 weeks before getting involved with TVI and I’ve brought you the answers your probably asking when it comes to this company.
(If you haven’t heard about TVI express yet take the time to check their video comp. plan www.meetplanb.com and their website http://www.tviexpress.com/auraw)

- What is the product?
By investing the small start up cost (one time laughable fee) you are becoming a member of Travel Ventures International meaning you can book flights, hotels, car rentals etc. This company is involved in over 150 countries and its goal is to become the next priceline, orbitz… Better still they have cheaper rates than the aforementioned companies. Travel is a billion dollar industry it never goes out of style and will be a much needed resource for all time

- How are they able to pay out all members $10,000 per cycle? Isn’t that way too much overhead?
Every time a member cycles( completes a board) they receive $10,000, and members are cycling time and time again on average one cycle a month (depending on their determination some once a week!) For every $10,000 a member is payed the company already made $100,000, they do absolutely no marketing/ advertising. Those that sign up and never bother “working” at this great opportunity are called dead legs thereby the company makes money off them. Plus all the amenities (flights, hotels…) booked by their site obviously brings in money.

-How are members payed?
If you’ll search online some people complain about this but its really quite simply if you do your due diligence:
Solid Trust Pay ( a registered canadian company middle man—think paypal)
Liberty Reserve
Bank Withdrawal
Or Voucher selling (is extremely popular -bec. members can bring in others quickly and efficiently into TVI) plus you have none of the fees of the aforementioned payouts.

Bottom line the company is a legitimate buisness opportunity who are helping many members out of this recession with ease. I’ve spoken to numerous members via phone and email who are making their $10,000 payouts
Whenever their is a new system or opp. their are always those that are “trigger happy” to label something a scam. (usually to get people involved in their own venture).

So take the time now to glean more info. about this amazing opportunity and gain access to real financial freedom. Contact me via email www.realmacbargains.com or thru this blog and I can help answer all your questions!
Again the website is http://www.tviexpress.com/auraw

Lots of stuff going around about TVI right now.
I have been in MLM, Direct Selling, Network Marketing or whatever you want to call it for many years and usually ignore all the 'scam' stuff posted on the internet - except with TVI there is nothing I can find that makes me believe it's a legitimate company. Getting paid doesn't mean it's not a fraud. All such scams, pyramids and ponzi schemes work for a while, until they are either found out or collapse.
In fact, the more I investigate, the more sure I am that TVI is a fraud.
Can someone please give some concrete evidence that this is a legitimate company?
For example does anyone know who the owners are?!?!? Who is CEO etc ?!?! It's ridiculous that I should have to 'investigate' to find that simple piece of information out!

shreveportmike said...

I agree ranjan, i have talked to several people and they have not been paid fro their $250 cycle and it is now hitting the two months period. I ask people to do a screen shot of when they got paid and they will not do it, because they havnt been paid thats why and now all of these so called gurus are out their marketing different companies,i hate to say it but tvi is a fraud

Anonymous said...

Payment is not only thru vouchers.... but thru solid trust pay a verified and certified canadian business. Credit cards are now accepted by the company. Everyone must realize this company is fairly new and loads of people are getting involved and they have to maintain that. Check out my blog so you can get your answers on TVI express i checked into it for 6 weeks and spoken to loads of people.

people are not getting paid with solid trustpay either, people are not getting their money end of story

Unknown said...

After long time I m forced to post. There is a story which i learnt in childhood and i m sure similar stories must be there in all parts of world. Here is how it goes :
Once a King accidently got his nose chopped off. Fearing that others will laugh at him he started spreading message that he God told him in dream that 'one can see me with chopped nose.' and he now is able to see God in during is prayers. All the courtiers in phases got their nose chopped off and the sooner they came to know that it was a fraud they had no option but to sing the same song. ...and this way it turned out to be a kingdom of 'Chopped Nose Persons'. Those few who were honest to come out with their finding, others who were in majority, termed them as mediocre in concenteration while offering prayers and poor effort makers !!

Same is True here in TVI. Some Kingpin intentionally did mischief , convinced few and then there was chain of followers who always wished to make quick bucks. More so they even challenge non members of the knowledge about TVI. They want non members to get their nose chopped off and then to decide....and then even if some of them dont turn into chorus...they are scrounzers or lazy or dead legs...and so on ....so story never ends....

But this story will end soon ...take it from me...!!!

gregpeck said...

Oh.. What a great story. People today make better judgements than people who lived in the 50s. What do you think about that statement? Is there anything available that I can honestly do and the company would not be a fraud? Maybe http://tinyurl.com/yfo5m9l

Unknown said...

I am a member of tvi express. I love it. I have seen over and over the payouts that are received. You have the choice to have the money directly deposited into an account of your choice. You also can sell your vouchers and not for any price. If you sell them for less than is expected you are only cheating yourself. I have a hard time believing that anyone who joins tvi express and WORKS to become successful would ever give them a bad report. You obviously have not worked the plan, learned the plan, or you truly are not a member.

Note the "excuses" for people to join TVI, even after reading all the negative information, falls into the following categories:

* they are just jealous people, they envy us getting rich
* it's just sour grapes
* it's just negativity
* you're just talking bull****

COMMENT: we'll just laugh at you when TVI Express is proven to be scam, and the process had already started. Hungary is investigating. China already declared it illegal. It fits every single law definition of pyramid scheme, and every excuse offered by shills have been debunked. We'll be glad to tell you "Told you so!" in a few months.

* it's a direct sales company, really!

COMMENT: then why in their FAQ it says "you don't need to sell any products"?

* it has real products!

COMMENT: Real products that you are NOT required to sell! Says so in their FAQ! YOu *are* required to recruit! Says so in the FAQ!

* recruiting is not illegal!

COMMENT: Recruiting for a pyramid scheme sure is illegal! Go look up definition of pyramid scheme yourself!

* they pay so they are not scam!

COMMENT: Bernie Madoff! Doh!

* it's only $250, take a chance!

COMMENT: At the cost of your soul, perhaps? Or do you have $250 to burn without "due diligence"?

Any other TVI Express excuses you want to categorize? Add them!

Money Laundering at it's BeST!!!

Oleg said...

I completely support the article and its author. TVI Express is Tarun Trikha since he bought the so called compamy in August, 2009.
For more than 14 months the so called TVI Express has been frauding the global world to offer no product at all. Any schoolboy can commect to Travelocity partner program, as TVI did. The superbase of the so called discount tours and air tickets is available for any user of the Internet. A classic ponzi scheme, which terminates accounts of successful associates and grabs his and her money before he or she can say jack robinson. It's a banal pyramid, whatever thoe happy people above have mentioned. I personally owned the account finalstart , which was expropriated the way communists would do in 1917 in Russia. Tarun generates his backoffice money easily with a click of his mouse. Do you know why? Cause you, dear defenders of his fraud, you don't demand your loyality - free accomodation hehe for 7 days (so funny yeah) in a (hold me) 4-5 star hotel... almost (OMG) almost freeeee))) ... no more comment of mine. TVI Thanks again for opening eyes to potential victims of EXPRESS - TOUCHING THEMSELVES GLOBALLY )) NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN GIVEN A CHOICE TO HOTELS WORLDWIDE. SAY IT TO ME AGAIN, TVI... ))))

TVI express said that they are partner of unicef, but i've checked it out and the result is, TVI is not one of their partner.does anyone could explain it?

THEREALIST said...

TVI IS A SCAM!!!

YES TVI pays out thats how it entises you in.

THE SCAM - TVI entises you in buy giving you a percentage of the profit, the bigger the company gets the bigger the slush fund of non paid profit gets. The extra money is where the inventor of this scam makes his or her money when the company goes pop.

To add to this huge slush fund of cash is the fact that the money been paid out is electronic in other words its just a number in your back office that the company calls $$$.

The tax man!!!! - By tranfering your electronic money for the E-vouchers you then sell these to your new clients for CASH. This is how the smart people in this company are making the money. Cash in the hand NO TAX, NO TRACEABILITY so yes its a SCAM.

YES YOU CAN WITHDRAW YOUR MONEY AS CASH - but it gets diminished by added charges and fees. It also reduces the money making ability of your boards. In order to make more and more money you are entised to keep buying in to more boards. Thus leaving more and more potential money in the company.

YOU MUST UNDERSTAND that if your earnings are in this company when it goes under you won't have any money.

I hope this clarifies a few things to all parties involved as it is easy to think you are in a legitimate business when you see results.

Maria Buscher said...

There are many different ways of making money. Bernie Madoff made a lot of money, know what I mean? I know that some people are making their $10,000 and more in this business. I'm still not convinced it's legitimate. I do not want to make a great deal of money and then get a visit from the FTC or some other Federal entity. A good friend of mine just recently approached me about this opportunity. Red flags went up all over the place. The company is out of the country, even though Warren Buffet appears on their website he is not affiliated with them, no one knows who the owners of the company actually are, you get paid in "travel vouchers" which you then have to sell to the next new members. No one we know has taken a vacation yet. I do know of someone who will be trying to use her travel voucher soon, and then I'll see what happens. Also, as an aside, my good friend is sincere enough to call this what it is: a "legal" pyramid.

I have a downline of 16 in TVI.

I don't have time to promote it though and am thinking of selling my position. If anyone wants to get a running start with TVI including a downline of 16, please let me know by email. johncam327@yahoo.com

I'm happy just to recoup the money I paid to join although I could probably sell it for more considering I have a downline.

Very simple question to all the people to TVI Express: what have you sold to make money?

What have ANY OF YOUR DOWNLINE sold to make money?

Admit it. Nobody sold ANYTHING. So if you got any money, it was from your downlines.

Go look up definition of "pyramid scheme".

Jealousy? I laugh at naive and gullible people. I would never be jealousy of such.

itchy said...

the truth about mlm is there for all to see.
and TVI seems to be one of the "cutest" ones i've ever come across.

the truth is that "the product" doesn't need to exist.
"the suckers" or the people who are lured into it are the product.

its classic pyramid but more clever is that they know that 99% of people will never go on with it and will give up in the 1st year but in the meantime they suck as much money out of these people : it starts with the "entry fee" ; then its books, tapes, cds, trips to motivational weekends...and so on.....
when these people drop out - they don't ask for their money back - of course not - instead they feel like "losers" for not having taken advantage of "this opportunity of a lifetime".

the perfect con.

Although some travel business opportunities are free to join, this program offers the opportunity at a cost.
