An Individual Assessment Of TVI Express

By Devon Strenke

TVI Express, headquarters are in Heathrow, London, United Kingdom.

They started up in January 2009 and what drew me to take a look at this opportunity was the incredible income claims being made by distributors. Whilst looking through their website and watching the company presentation, I kept thinking to myself 'What are these guys selling?' Whenever I get this question pop up in my mind I always get a red sign flashing in my brain that says 'PONZI'.

After some further TVI Express review research I was still none the wiser, I even spoke to some TVI reps and they didn't seem to have any definite answers other than you are awarded a 6 night hotel voucher when you pay your $250 to join up

There is no definite range of products offered by TVI, which makes me feel uncomfortable

How does anyone make any money with TVI Express?

A distributor will make their money from getting others to sign up and pay the $250. They operate a 'rotating matrix' compensation plan and you have to 'cycle' through the 'Travel Board' first and then you will be paid $250 and given an e-voucher of $250. Your next goal is then to earn a reward payment of $10,000. You do this on the next level which is the "Express Board". Again you cycle your way to the highest level of the matrix and then the process is repeated. The fee to enter the matrix is $250, this is just paid once for lifetime membership. By recruiting 2 members into the scheme you will earn the right to get your reward payments.

But how by bringing in just 2 people at $250 each is the company able to dish out such large payments? It's because of the massive volume of signups happening right now from folks hoping to become rich overnight and paying in their $250 and assuming that this keeps happening the matrix 'cycling' can continue. Members can repeat this as many times as they like for the time they stay in the program (so TVI says).

All of these matrix type systems have a limited life. Because there is no actual product being sold then once there are no new members coming in the cycle will stop and no one gets 'paid'. Because standard companies that operate on an MLM business model sell tangible products, people still profit after saturation occurs.

TVI is an illegal scam?

In these situations I always ask myself, does the Network Marketing product offered benefit the consumer. I will always figure out if the company's product/s would sell by themselves; even if there was no comp plan involved. TVI Express fails on both points in my opinion.

Is this an opportunity you should sign up with

Anyone looking at the pay plan would be impressed. I would suggest you don't try and recruit your friends into this or anyone that respects you as a person, business or personal. One final word of warning, I have read on various forums that you don't necessarily get paid cash, but in vouchers, which you can then redeem against discount holidays and travel.
