TVIExpress - Is it Fake?

By:- Asha *

Last week, I came to know about this new money making, financial freedom kind of scheme from a close relative in Manipur.

Yes Manipur, a small state in the north-east India. The information passed on was that, there is a new scheme doing the rounds and some people have really become rich and got good money in return. Some shopkeepers have closed their shops and are doing full time marketing of TVIExpress.

In the news, these days you get to see all such incidents of get rich scheme and people running away with your money, so I decided to do a bit of reasearch and check out.

First of all I did google about TVIExpress and it was showing around 4000 pages as results which means the scheme is quite new and there are chances that people might have benefited from it, as it is pretty new.

I went to their website TVIExpress.com and the site looks quite impressive with the video of how one can have a lavish life and keep on getting $15000.

I am a kind of person, who believe that it is not easy to make money and there is no scheme which can make you rich overnight. I have always stayed away from all these MLM business and Pyramid schemes.

You keep on making down lines and sell products or do marketing, that is not my cup of tea. I prefer to work on my own. From one of their videos, I got their skype id and had a chat with the person called Kelvin Lim.

My first question to him was.. are you guys genuine or you are just running a scam site? Well the answer was no and Kelvin explained me how it worked.

As per my information, one has to pay $250 and join TVIExpress and once you have two downlines, you get $500. Also you get some holiday package. However, after talking to their online help, I came to know that, one is supposed to make 20 downlines to get $500. Which means 250 multiplied by 20. And once they get this $5000, they are happy to give you $500.

The site also claims to give you a personalized URL with ecommerce facility to do the marketing etc. My query to them was, how a person who does not know a b and c of internet can do online marketing and I got the answer that, it has to be done offline and then they will teach you gradually as it is a vast subject.

The other interesting factor was that, all the new users scroll which you can see on their site are people from India and China. I am not sure if it is only the Indians and Chinese who are after quick money or maybe these markets are new. TVIExpress company is based in UK, but you will hardly see any user registering from UK.

My final conclusion is that, it is not a scam, but then it is not easy money as it looks like. So I would warn people to think twice or maybe more, before they plan to invest in such quick money schemes.

There have been such online money making MLM schemes in the past like ClubFreedom , Getaway Club , 6 Star Travel Club , YTB and many more. So read carefully about the other such MLM schemes, which were there in the market and decide whether you really want to put your hard earned money on such schemes.

I would love to hear from people, who have invested in TVIExpress and also got returns. So far all the internet results on TVIExpress shows only their content, which is the result of their own marketing strategy. I am yet to come across a nice and good testimonial on TVIExpress.
