Definitely people are getting money. My close friend has made good money, and there is money to be made atleast at this point of time. However, their phone numbers are not attended to most of the time, and the holiday bookings are on hold right now.

They should sort out these issues if they do not want negative publicity. Until the holidays bokings are resumed, it is hard to sell it to others.

If a one time $250 could be doubled in 2 weeks and then results in your earning of $15, 000 in 30, 60, 90 days or sooner
Over & Over & Over Again…

My husband got suckered into this scam. I thought, oh well, at least we get a travel voucher, so not all is lost. Well, just try to redeem it! Nope, you won't be able to...they say they are "temporarily" not booking vacations. BS! This is a gifting scheme that allows stacked production lines...it is not even mlm...it is straight up pyramid. I used to live on Bryanston Mews in London, right around the corner from this supposed business...I promise you this is a dummy address. Get rich quick schemes just do not work...please save your $250 for something legitimate!

My name is James I live in the U.S. Atlanta Georgia to be exact, and TVI has made a way for me to create money without punching a clock at someones office. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with working a 9 to 5 but there is something about being able to spend time with your family and make money while your on vacation that excites me . I started with this company 10 days paying $250 dollaars a small investment on me and my family's future. I am moving up the ladder quickly getting ready to cycle for my first $500 dollars doubling my money already . I already received my hotel vouchers as promised for my 6day/7night vacation. I was introduced to this company by my cousin who is a professional athlete who has cycled already for his 10, 000 dollars in about 4 weeks i dont know about you but i have never made that much money in a short period of time off of a $250 dollar investment. I had to get involved i can talk all day about this company but the bottom line is get involved, free up your time and give yourself finacial freedom . you can email me at any time at jmanagement.james@gmail.com and i will get you started . take care and i hope this was helpful

Call Carnival Cruise Lines and ask if they know Travel Ventures International. They will tell you they work with this company and where to find the information on the voucher.

Hi all!
My name is Kimberly and I am in Atlanta Ga, and have been a member of TVI for the last 3 weeks, and it's been great so far. After paying my 250.00 I was immediately emailed my traveler's voucher(7 day/6night). I then entered the first board, which is "the Traveler's Board", along with 15 other's. After 5 days of joining, I was qualified with my 2 people. It then took me 4 more days to cycle to the top, where I recieved 500.00(250.00 cash, 250.00 voucher). I am now on The Express board. I have not cycled yet, but I will in about a week. My boyfriend who sponsored me has recieved his 15k(10k cash, 5k full European vacation voucher). So, this is very real, and we are very excited. I have spoken to people all over the world, to help educate them on this opportunity to see if this is for them. So if you are interested, and don't want a lot of hype, but just to speak to a regular person, I would love to speak with you, an offer my knowledge to you. I wish you all the best in all your future endeavors. Good luck, and God Bless!

i didn't know that, Domino, but i'd say that it raises a F...ING HUGE red flag - just another smoke-screen, and example of whoever's-behind-TVI trying to hide whoever's-behind-TVI (most importantly, i'd guess, from the FBI, etc.).

i can't imagine CNN, for example (or any other legitimate business), using a "private" listing for their website!

Hi to all!

Well - what an interesting post!

There are always doomsayers amongst us!

I am indeed a new member of TVI - however i have done my due dilligence and checked them out thoroughly!

Yes there are points that could lead one to claim it a scam... however i have also found MUCH evidence that TVI is indeed a legit and profitable opportunity!

So really it comes back to you - the individual!

Which way do you want to turn... doom and gloom or opportunity!?

I chose opportunity... and i'm very glad i did!

We are a growing team of successful online marketers who chose to use TVI as a "speculative investment"... kind of like backing the odds at a horse race i guess!

Well - to cut a long story short, in just one week each of our team made our $500 bonus and we are on track for making our first $10, 000 in the next week or so!

If you would like to know more about TVI Express, or would like to join our team of entrepreneurs and let us help you to succeed online, then please feel free to either drop me a line on skype or email me!

I have retired at 32 through the power of online income (as have many of our team. Our team loves to teach people to do the same!

Tom,

They (TVI) are listing their site under domain privacy. Although most legit companies do not use this feature, a "FEW" do. But this does raise another small red flag for the ones that do use this feature as why would they want to hide their business company information? As long as we know who runs the company and where they are located at and they are actully contactable this is not much of an issue, but with TVI it does raise suspicions because of all the other RED FLAGS flying. Hell, we don't even know where the company is located at as it sure the hell is not located at the Marble Arch Tower.

Regarding Ken Russo, he is just a member of TVI, NOT the owner nor the founder of TVI.

What part did you miss about just because they are paying does NOT make it legal? Case in point ReGenesis2x2 was 100% ILLEGAL but paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars to people before they finally got shut down and raided.

i know somebody who spent $275 to become a member (or whatever they call it) of TVI. he recruited a couple of others, and 2 weeks ago, they said he'd get $250 plus a $250 "voucher" ... he still hasn't received any money, however.

i sent him the following email, trying to gently tell him that this is just a big FRAUD, but of course, he doesn't want to believe it.

isn't it a bit strange that a company based in London talks about the money you'll make - and the cost of becoming a member - in terms of U.S. dollars, rather than British pounds?

caveat emptor ...

-------------------------

i looked at their website, and they certainly have a slick presentation. i got curious about them, and clicked on "Contact Us, " and it says that they're based in London.

i wanted to find out more about them, so i clicked on "Company, " and then "About Us, " but it doesn't actually give any information about the company management - not even who the name of the company president, or CEO. it does give a company phone number (England country code) at the bottom however.

then i decided to do a WhoIs lookup on tviexpress.com ...

http://www.networksolutions.com/whois-search

but it just comes up "ATTN: TVIEXPRESS.COM c/o Network Solutions."

that struck me as odd, because Nework Solutions is an internet domain registry service - you have to use them (or another one, like Register.com) to get an internet name. when you do that, you're supposed to provide your contact information - and they don't provide contacting "c/o Network Solutions, " but evidently that's how the person who registered tviexpress.com filled in the form.

if you do a WhoIs search on goupstate.com, you get this:

http://www.networksolutions.com/whois-search/goupstate.com ...

Administrative Contact, Technical Contact :
Herald-Journal
domains@nytrng.com
189 W. Main St
Spartanburg, SC 29306
US
Phone: 864.582.4511

likewise, if you do a search on wspa.com, or cnn.com, you get real contact information.

that made me a little bit suspicious, so i typed "Travel Ventures I" into Google, and the second suggestion that Google makes, after "Travel Ventures International, " is "Travel Ventures International scam."

if you do a Google search on just "Travel Ventures International, " the first thing listed is this:

http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?t=120208

it says that the fellow behind TVI is named Ken Russo. i tried doing a Google search on him, and most of what Google came up with looks pretty bad. a lot of what it says about him refers either to "pyramid schemes, " or "ponzi schemes."

if you do a Google search on "pyramid scheme, " a couple of the webpages it comes up with are these ...

http://www.skepdic.com/pyramid.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_scheme

this one is about the "ponzi scheme" ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme

the WikiPedia article on pyramid schemes begins with this remark ...

"A pyramid scheme is a non-sustainable business model that involves the exchange of money primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, often without any product or service being delivered."

from their website, i can't figure out what TVI is actually selling. if they're selling vacation packages, where do i go to find out about them - vacations to what places? how much do they cost? how do i purchase one from TVI? the only way the website tells you how TVI gets money is by "sponsoring two people who join the TVI Express Opportunity."

i hope it works out for you, but i can't say i like what i see on the web about them!

I have recently been exposed to the next "HOT" MLM called TVI Express or Travel Ventures International. Personally MLM or Multi Level Marketing makes my skin crawl, but a good friend of mine who plays professional sports told me about the company. A word of advice always listen to rich people because they are always exposed to rich people stuff. So with an open mind I listened to his information, and was intrigued by some of his info. He told me that his agent brought this to him and it's in over 50 countries. For 250 bucks you get 7 days 6 nights anywhere in the world, with the opportunity to make an endless stream of 1o thousand dollar checks. Yeah right! Was this the next big thing, or another scam to take my hard earned money. Needless to say I wasn't convinced. He then asked me to talk to one his wealthy friends from Alabama who would be in the Atlanta area picking up some motorcycles for his dealership. I reluctantly agreed. His name is Scott, a really genuine guy who owns a motorcycle dealership and several other businesses. We met at his chosen location (Hooters) and we just talked. No sales pitch we just talked. He talked about his businesses and how the economy was affecting them. He also said he was looking for other ways to make money and his buddy, a wealthy business owner out of CA told him about TVI. He told him to "kick rocks" or for the non ebonics speaking people he told him no thanks to this business opportunity. A few weeks later his friend called him and said documentation beats conversation. He then sent the deposit email which showed a 10 thousand dollar deposit into his account from TVI. Whatever Scott he must have hundreds of people in his business. Scott said no he originally sponsered 5. Five people got him 10 grand in a few weeks. Yep, he said in his Bill Clinton styled drawl. He then showed me the email from his buddy and explained how the company works. And much to my own disappointment it, actually made sense. Was I about to venture into another MLM? 1ok in less than a month, yes the hell I was. So I jumped in with both feet and haven't looked back. I took me a little less that 3 weeks to earn my first 500$, and I'm very close to making my first 10k with company. I know it sounds crazy, but its the truth. It actually works. So if someone comes to you about TVI Express don't just dismiss it as another person who just drank the newest flavor of Kool-Aid. Hear them out. It might just get you 10 thousand dollars richer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Who cares? if you don't like it, don't participate. Many people spend thousands of dollars buying products on autoship for months and months and eventually drop out because they cannot recruit over 100 people.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, you better start caring. Better have a look at this Buddy:
Before you go making "claims" about anything your promoting make sure the claims and company are LEGIT as yes, YOU also, CAN be held liable for these claims:
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/business/ecommerce/bus28.shtm

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So here you pay a measly $275. If it busts, so what? If it doesn't then you make a lot of money. Or you can just write and write and warn us of impending doom. No thank you. I can take care of myself. I do not need your help.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So what? LOL! Yeah, that's the right attitude, now isn't it? As long as you make your buck others can lose hu? It is all about your success and noone elses now isn't it? ROTFLMAO! Thanks for the laugh.

But when a business tries to hide and then people see as many red flags flying as we are seeing in TVI, not only am I, but others WILL speak up and warn others to be careful and do their own research of the facts at hand. You can take care of yourself? Good. Don't need my or our help? Good.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We can all buy government sanctioned lottery tickets for the hope of making millions where the probability of losing is over 99%. That is the scam you should be screaming about. Why? Because the people with absolutely no money to spare are fed the b.s. that they, too, can become the $32million winner. Yeah right!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your trying to compare business with the lottery? LOL! Yeah, better to compare apples and oranges and get off subject instead of facts now isn't it? BUT with business if you play it better be legit or it could cost you much more than a little money you paid to join. You might even be lucky to win a many years vacation, free room and board with three square meals a day at the Luxurious resort called JAIL. READ the link above that I already posted. At least the lotto is legal to play in areas that it is.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So they spend $50 a month and some even $50 a day or a week with the hope the government with their glitzy advertisements and television commercials put into their hearts. What a farce!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Still comparing apples and oranges? Hmmmmm!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If all of those people put their $275 in TVI and get 2 of their lottery playing friends to put $275 into TVI, a whole lot of people will make a whole lot of money.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don't have a problem in the world with people making money. What I do have a problem with is people scamming people to make a buck. Let me guess, you didn't bother to read the ReGenesis2x2 link I posted earlier. Here it is again: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2009565063_regenesis30m.html THAT'S what I have a problem with. I also have a problem with a company trying to hide who really runs them, where they are really located at and the other MANY red flags flying for TVI at the moment. All I am seeking is answers to common questions and nobody can give them, not even TVI.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How many people win the lottery?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here we go with this lotto mentality again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Give it a rest. Do it or not. It is your choice.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No, I will give it a rest when we get legit answers to the main questions at hand. Why is TVI hiding? Why is TVI is not responding to people's e-mails and support tickets about questions at hand? Why do we have this many red flags flying with TVI? All we want is answers to COMMON questions that ANY business would and could be asked and we have to this day NO ANSWERS at all.

Want me to "Give it a rest?", give me some REAL answers to common questions then. And I will GLADY give it a rest. It is really simple to do, but yet noone has given any real answers yet. Again, where is TVI located at? They are still advertising on their site a place that they are NOT even at. Misleading? YES!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By the way, they are down this weekend because the site has been very slow the past week or so. The site is very very fast now and they are reconciling accounts which were messed up due to the bumps in the signup process last week. There is no conspiracy at all. And no it is not gone away. Get a grip and go buy some lottery tickets.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good to know, although doesn't change things a bit when we don't have REAL answers to COMMON questions that any business could and would be asked, but yet then we have TVI that is hiding instead of answering common questions. Where are they really located at? Oh yeah, nobody knows. LOL!

HI Glen,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you a person does their research on TVI Express, they won't find a single legitimate complaint about TVI Express.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Really? Glen did you bother to do some reading of the above posts about complaints that people have been posting or did you just want to come here and advertise your business? Glen we are looking for FACTS not your "opinions".

Let me help you Glen, TVI is NOT located where they say they are on their website...FACT! TVI is not answering their support e-mails or their support tickets...FACT! TVI is HIDING and we do not know where they are currently located at...FACT! Oh, thats right they are in the process of moving to a new office, so they say. But still list the old address of the Marble Arch building as their current address.

Nice try Glen, but you get an A for effort but a BIG "F" for not presenting FACTS at hand. You so called site here: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2208637/tvi_express_a_ponzi_scheme.html?cat=3 is a site that "ANYONE", yes, ANYONE can publish an article and say what they want about a subject.

All you have to do is go here and register for an account and then publish an article: http://www.associatedcontent.com Nice try on misleading people into thinking you had legit facts to post when in reality you have nothing.

Go right here get started today. Post your article: https://publish.associatedcontent.com/signup.shtml

Glen, your really misleading people and that even sends more RED FLAGS up, but nice try on trying to state facts there buddy. That person posted that article even says they are part of a team. You say the same thing so did a perosn on your team really write that article and post it and then you give us the link to say this? Not only this but the person that posts that article gives out their link to promote their business. LOL! Get real Glen. Real news articles don't give out "referral links" to sign up with.

Then you say this:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are very few online businesses that will actually publicly post who the founders and the CEO's or Admiral’s as they are called in the UK.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sorry buddy, but LEGIT businesses do tell who runs the company and who the founders are. The ones that are hiding DO NOT want you to know who is running the company. Them are the ones you have to watch out for. They are HIDING for a REASON.

So, now you say the people listed on the community tab/advisory board are the ones running the company, but we still don't know who the FOUNDERS are. At least not by that page with is also MISLEADING. It has been posted by others that the Founders are Indian's in India and they are: TARUN TRIKHA / NARESH KUMAR / RAHUL KHURANA / ANUPAMA KAPOOR.

So, let me get this straight, TVI is located in London (supposably anways), but the Founders are located in India and then the money upon sign-up goes to Cypress. Yep, something smells fishy here alright. Will the REAL Founders please step up to the plate? :)

OMG People... Warren Buffet did not invest in TVI! He purchased a company called "The Pampered Chef" which is a direct sales & network marketing company! All of the well known names and companies mentioned in the fancy video you people watched are involved in NETWORK MARKETING, NOT IN TVI SPECIFICALLY! This is a misdirection tactic intended to make it look like your getting involved with a legitimate company! Any time a program like this comes along, people ALWAYS make money in the beginning... Making money is NOT an indicator of a legitimate opportunity! All im saying is DO YOUR RESEARCH!

If you a person does their research on TVI Express, they won't find a single legitimate complaint about TVI Express. Those they think it is a ponzi scheme are out in left field. There are very few online businesses that will actually publicly post who the founders and the CEO's or Admiral’s as they are called in the UK. Check out the links below to verify what I am saying and also for what makes a program or business an actual ponzi.

When your done, doing your research feel free to call me. I will be glad to share what my experience has been with TVI Express. Also, our team has grown to over 2000 members in just 9 weeks, and it continues to grow faster and faster.

My team, is a team player minded group with lots of online and network marketing experience. We work together to help everyone that’s a member. We are all very excited to be a part of the fastest growing home based business opportunity and the best I have seen in a long time. In my 10 years or experience in the network marketing industry, TVI Express is definitely the easiest business to build and the fastest program I have ever seen where you can make your first 10K within your first 2-8 weeks depending on your efforts.

This is a classic pyramid scheme, but one of the more sophisticated ones. Yes, you might be able to make some quick money here for a while, but here are the facts:

1. Nobody can tell you who is the CEO or CFO at TVI. Ask anyone. If anyone knows on this board then please publish it here!

2. The address on their website is phantom. I spoke to the building management in London and they left suddenly two months ago without a forwarding address

3. The phone number does not work. I have called at least 100 times at all times of the day and it rings 3 times and then goes busy

4. They do not answer ANY emails. I have sent more than one to every address they publish without a single reply.

5. Warren Buffer has not invested in TVI. I asked.

6. Anyone can start an online travel business with WorldChoice. All you have to guarantee is 40 night hotel bookings. They are owned by Travelocity so watch at when they will be shut off as the scam becomes more obvious

7. TVI banks at an unknown bank in Cypress and there is an obvious reason why you cannot sign up with a credit card. They would have to undergo a detailed scrutinization, especially in the USA.

So if this is legitimate then get someone from TVI to publish the full details of the management team, the real current address and telephone numbers not just a bunch of hype. Why have they closed down the ability to sign on new members on their website for the past week? This doesn't happen with a real company!

Most business models are designed in such a way that can be compared to a pyramid scheme. If you really think about this structure, it is a logical and safe system. Now TVI is a business with a travel section included. The product/service is secondary to the possible profits being made off of the freshness and newness of this business in the U.S. The way to look at this is you can make real and lasting profits from this venture at a minimal cost. As long as people keep needing money to live there will be a market. Also, you will undoubtedly re-invest in your down lines and help the people getting in succeed as you are trying to reach your goals. Once you get back the money you put in, the rest is all profit and nobody loses. This will no doubt have a life-cycle like all internet based business, the trick is to stay ahead and ride the wave. But there are a lot of people who will prosper along the way. Many more than could possibly lose if this shut down suddenly.

FACT- TVI is NOT located at the Marble Arch Tower where they clearly say they are according to their website. Call the Reception of Marbel Arch at [protected] and find out that this is FACT!

FACT - They do NOT answer support ticket replies asking where they are really located at since when you call the Reception Of Marbel Arch at [protected] they tell you that TVI is NOT even located at the Tower in the first place where TVI "say" they are located at. Go ahead and call them, be my guest. CHECK IT OUT to learn the TRUTH and you'll see they are NOT even there in that Tower they say they are located at. Even the person that is trying to get me in TVI sent them a support ticket and they have NOT heard anything from TVI in request to know where they are actually located at. Go ahead and e-mail them and ask. They have yet to respond about their where abouts.

FACT - I have someone wanting me to get into this TVI thing, but when I was checking them out and found the above information I found on this site I called the tower myself to find out the truth about matters at hand. Go ahead and call them. Find out the FACTS! TVI is NOT where they "claim" to be. One call, that's all.

FACT - They (TVI) ARE paying people as I know personally people that have been paid.

FACT - this also reminds me of another HYPED up program that also is FACT that ReGenesis2x2 were paying people until they came crashing down as. Hello, ReGenesis was a SCAM the ENTIRE time they were running and people were getting PAID. See link below of ReGensis2x2 getting busted as a SCAM. Is TVI a scam? You be the judge, but I am NOT touching this at all with all the RED FLAGS flying.

Regarding seeing this (TVI) and hearing this from TRUSTED friends and business people. I have heard ReGenesis2x2 from the same sources and look where they (ReGenesis2x2) are at...BUSTED! Here's the direct link to them getting busted: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2009565063_regenesis30m.html They were a SCAM. People were all over this saying this was great, that was great, get in now, blah, blah, blah and look at where they are at now. BUYER BEWARE!

My concerns, one of them at least of many, are we don't even know who actually runs this company. We don't know and it seems noone else knows as well. Do you REALLY want to be involved with a company that you have no idea who actually runs the company? Hello people, another RED FLAG! Know who runs TVI? Post it and lets check them out.

I just gave you REAL "FACT" answers to see why this is a MAJOR RED FLAG company that anyone involved should have checked out before signing up and anyone looking at this should check out BEFORE joining.

FACT - With a little elbow grease you CAN find out any of the information I have posted above and gave FACTS too. One being a simple phone call to the tower and ask them as I think they would know who was in their tower or not. But don't take my word on this, all this information is EASILY found with a little research on the Internet and dialing of a phone.

Now some facts I would like to know and still cannot find answers too, even the person that told me about TVI doesn't even know:

Who runs TVI? What is his/her name? Noone knows.

Where are they now located at? Noone knows. They sure are not at the place they say they are. Do you really want to be involved with a company that says they are located someplace they are not even located at and won't say where they are located at when asked?

They claim to be a UK company but you can't find any registration info on this "company" at the UK government web site:

http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/

There is NO LISTING for a company name - Travel Ventures International.

Desiree, just because they are paying does NOT mean they are LEGIT for one and it "matters" because even if people do "get Paid" and especially if you live "in the states" like you said then YOU yes...even YOU "can" be prosecuted as well if you actively promote a program that is a scam and make said claims about said SCAM. LOL, check with the FTC site and you will see. FACT!

Before you go making "claims" about anything your promoting make sure the claims and company are LEGIT as yes, YOU also, CAN be held liable for these claims:
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/business/ecommerce/bus28.shtm

Why are they hiding? Why won't they answer simple common questions?

Let me say this, put TVI to one side now...Any LEGIT business would let you know who was running this business, where they are located and even be in consistant contact with the people (you) in business with them.

Now lets talk FACTS...We do not know where they (TVI) are located at. They are NOT at the Tower where they claim to be, go ahead CALL THEM (call the Reception Of Marbel Arch at [protected]) and see for yourself. We do not know who runs this company. And they won't answer support tickets detailing where they are "actually" located at since I and many others have picked up the phone and actually called the tower to find out the TRUTH about matters at hand.

So, I ask this question: Do you REALLY want to be involved with a company that is like this? Hello, ding, ding, ding, they are hiding for a REASON.

Yeah, they are paying, but in the end so was ReGenesis2x2 and they are HISTORY because ReGenesis2x2 was a SCAM all the way 100% and yes, they "were" paying as well up till the end of them. I even knew people that made lots of money with them, but that does NOT make them legal.

I was super interested in this TVI at first, but when I did the research and found this site and did some checking on my own and found this many red flags flying I was like NO WAY!

So, Desiree, there are your FACTS at hand. Satisfied? Check them out and you will see everything said is not only truth, but FACT!

Trust me it is real! It has finally made it to the United States, and I am in Atlanta Ga. and immediately I received my voucher, and have already booked my hotel stay with a major hotel. In 8 days I have already received my 500.00. We are now about to cycle for the 15 k(10 k cash out). I brought in 5 people, and it has been amazing. It is true, you only need 2 people to make the money. Not like other MLM'S, where you need a couple of hundred in your downline. http://www.tviexpress.com/djackson1

I spend 250 dollars on a game of golf and later that night 250 more for dinner, the fact is most people will never make anything out of life because the are afraid that someone other than them will make money, so what if its a scam, you are the the one's that have been scammed because you are never willing to take a chance. One of the greatest sins is not those who try and fail, but rather the one's that never try!

Your numbers are not quite right. Here's a simple explanation of the board. When someone pays their $250 they take one of 8 positions on the bottom row of the first board. When that row fills up (8 people) the board splits and our person Moves up to the row of 4 on a new board. when the bottom row of that board fills up, the board slits again and they move up to the row of 2 an a new board. When the bottom row fills up again, the board spits again and they move up to the top spot. When the bottom fills up again, the board spits again and they cycle to the express board and are paid $500, $250 in cash and $250 in travel voucher.

So let's do that math. For one person to move all the way through the first board to the $500 payout, 32 people have come in to the company. 32 x $250 = $8000. So for one person to cycle all the way through to the $500 payout the company has brought in $8000. Once on the express board, the same process starts all over again. The company earns another $8000 and pays out $10, 000. So for each of those $10K payouts, the company has brought in $16K. That math works. All someone has to do to qualify for the $10K is to have brought in two personally sponsored people. That's 2 of the 64 requred to move them through to the payout. The rest come from their team and other teams filling out the boards.

TVI is also tied into several multi billion dollar companies from Travelocity to Paramount. They have the financial backing to sustain growth and profitablitiy. No, this is not a Ponzi. It is a legitimate business opportunity. They have real physical address, a real customer service department, a real phone number and people are making real money with it. I have two partners about to cycle for their first $10K.

If anyone wants to discuss this further with me, contact me at pmhrt@ctc.net

after doing some investigation, i am convinced that this is a classic ponzi scheme for the following reasons. there arrears to be NO PRODUCT NOR SERVICE provided, it relys on new money compounding money for old money. i.e. i sign up 2 people, they sign up 4=8=16=32 .. your 250 is being paid back with say 250 x 10 = 2500. the scheme organizers get a cut of every piece, making them very wealthy until the fbi or attorney generals office investigates. being in the british virgin islands, they go away scot free with alot of money. the top people of the pyramid DO MAKE MONEY, but it is illegal. even amway somewhat legitimizes itself with overpriced products, yet 95% of the people lose money.if you can lie to your friends or other innocent people, then by all means join up. but theres an old saying, what goes around comes around.

I heard from Mr. Jonanthan Murphy when I contacted their main website that TVI is uploading some legal document of their company on the website soon.

I hope he can prove us soon.

It is a scam MLM or pyramid whatever you want to call it. As far as it being verified? Well any liar can post false claims. If you walked into a store and they asked you to pay just to hear what they have would you do it? No, probably not. When you spend money there has to be a viable product or service. If I want to buy icecream I'll buy a cone, I won't convince 2 other people to buy cones then hope that I will get one too.

I have yet to figure out what TVI is even offering? People put up a $275 one time payment and they earn $10, 000 when they cycle out in 2 weeks? What is being purchased, where is the money being generated from? What this sounds like is a bunch of people putting in $275 and then those that are up at the front of their list get paid from those that keep putting money in. News flash everyone, these things are called Ponsi schemes and are illegal.

Do yourself a favor and find a legitimate home based business with a solid corporate team, verifiable corporate office, solid compensation plan, good quality products, and quit chasing the get rich quick deals. They say there's a sucker born every minute and it's no wonder why these kind of programs attract the scam artists.

It's a Pyramid Scheme, pure and simple.. the first people in have the potential to make some money, but, once all the "gullible" folks have joined the number of people expecting payout increases five fold every time you move up a level...IT will be gone, soon, , , It's about as good as lottery tickets, I guess...

I have recently began working with TVI and have been impressed with what I've seen and heard thus far. My sponsor has called and talked to the corporate office in London. His sponsor, along with others that we know, has cashed out the 10K from the express board. Everything I have seen so far is legit with this company.

It is natural to assume that those talking about their success in TVI Express or the ads that we are seeing would be hype. Afterall, those of us in network marketing and are experienced know the amount of investment in time and finances in most programs are required in order to achieve that type of money. I would have been one of those skeptics had I not known and respected the person who spoke to me about TVI Express. In my opinion what cannot truly make a judgment on TVI Express unless they have first been personally involved. If you take notice there can be found no complaints of any nature in regard to TVI from those have been personally involved. I am one of those such individuals that became involved and am experiencing the success that is being claimed. Our success in the US is being achieved and rewarded with process and mindset established by TVI through a combined group effort of those involved helping others achieve their goals. I am a seasoned and experienced network marketer who is experiencing my own unprecedented success story in a time period that would be unbelievable if I wasn't seeing it with my own eyes. This is not hype. It is reality! If you would like to speak with me directly I would be more than happy to talk to you in detail.

All the best,

Anybody with any sense at all can see that Tvi is another scam. The website tells you nothing (typical of fraudulent companies). In the message from Corporate it is signed "Executive Team". Real companies have this signed by an Executive who is not afraid to use his name. The only names appearing on their website are those of people that they have paid or who have scammed their way to the top (same thing). Just because theu have a website and a physical mailing address doesn't make it a legitimate business. Trust Guard has nothing to do with the legality and credibility of the company. The site does not tell you who the founders are and who corporate management is (real, legal businesses provide that information).

Simple logic dictates that it is impossible to pay everybody tens of thousands of dollars on a $250.oo investment. Where is the money going to come from to pay you that kind of return? As in all ponzi schemes, the people in at the beginning make all the $$$'s and the rest can kiss their investment good by!
