Is TVI Express Scam?

Recently, there has been a lot of buzz about TVI express scam, that has been hailed to be misleading and misguiding its clients by claims that are often unrealistic. When viewed from other side, some people have claimed that TVI ideas have been interesting and beneficial to them.

What is TVI Express?
Travel Ventures International or TVI, is a travel and hospitality company that claims its headquarters to be in London, UK. It has claimed itself to be a global organization with its branches spanning over many continents and in countries like India, China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cyprus, etc. Launched in the year 2009 in India and China, it has been linked with unrealistic claims.

What TVI Does?
TVI has been mainly related to its claims that they can help you to afford finances such that you can send thousands of people to world tours just by joining their business plan and even the joiner has a potential to earn US$10,000 even after getting just two people down the line. Some obvious questions that pop up in the user's mind are, how can anybody pay US$10,000 just by helping them join two other potential users? Consequently, this leads to an air of mystery about TVI. Once you wish to enroll or login on it, you're asked to pay US$250 as the joining membership charge. After you've joined their program, you're required to bring in two other people to this program, so that you're entitled for its benefits and profits.

Once you've helped two other people join this program, you are put into a program called revolving matrix, that helps you to scale up the ladder slowly. After first cycle of round up (that is the term it is called), you earn a commission of US$500. And your second commission, is US$10,000!! And after, every cycle of round up on the express board (as called by firm), you make US$10,000! The cycling process of getting commission of US$10,000 after 2nd time, is decided by some formula.

Other issue that has been collected from several reports, is that TVI does have a product and they sell 'travels'. However, you don't have any products being sold by TVI expresses, it's more of a pyramid scheme type hierarchy, wherein you make members and make money through commissions. The question of selling products seems ambiguous, vague and with no logic. It appears more of a network marketing or multi-level marketing scheme.

Some other negative aspects of it is that, it promises every member a 6 night free holiday trip however, owing to presence of many members, this program is often halted and members have to wait for longer duration. Besides US$250, there is a US$25 payment processing fee, that should be generally free. And the most complex thing is, it's difficult to understand how one moves up and down the line and qualifies for the US$10,000 commission. The fundamentals of MLM leads used by the website, are still not very clear, leading to confusion.

Not all is very negative about TVI, as the reviews entail various positive issues like initial fee of US$250, that is not very high, in case, you're able to get commissions as claimed by the firm. As we can see, there are both positive and negative sides of this company. People must make proper reviews and research from authentic sources as there are discrepancies regarding information about management officials of this firm. Who leads the firm and where are its corporate offices, is also a matter of controversy.
