We have been reviewing the TVI Express situation for several months. In the last few days and weeks we have seen an international crack down on TVI Express field leaders and others.

The two main MLM Watchdogs Rod Cook of the USA and Ted Nuyten of the Netherlands have covered TVI Express situation in detail.

Here is a list of TOP TVI Express Leaders as reported by Ted Nuyten of Business For Home Organization in the Netherlands.

Rod Cook the MLM Watchdog reports on the China crackdown of TVI Express leaders.

Breaking MLM News: Troy Dooly publicly apologizes to Rod Cook aka MLM Watchdog and Len Clements

Tonight I received an email from Rod Cook, someone who I call a friend and personal mentor, which I have edited and listed below.

In Rod’s email it is very clear he has received several phone calls from folks telling him I have slammed him in some form or another. He also alludes to the fact he has talked to Len Clements who also feels something I have said was disrespectful.

I am making it clear right now I do not have anything but the utmost respect for these two MLM leaders.

Rod Cook and Len Clements are true advocates to this profession, and two gentlemen I respect and learn from. As a matter of fact they may have forgotten more about this great profession that I will ever know.

Rod and Len I am truly sorry for whatever I said, and if you will direct me to where it is posted, I will gladly removed it. It was not, nor is it today my intention to have anyone think of you two as anything but men of uncompromising integrity.

Here is the edited email Rod sent to me.

“Troy

Go to About Rod Cook”

I have no clue what I said, but again I completely apologize for whatever it was!

Living An Epic Adventure,

Troy

The MLM Watchdog Rod Cook (Chairman of the Distributors Right’s Association) was taken to the Emergency Room for Chest Pains by his wife and best friend Marcie Cook.

Marcie, is by Rod’s side right now, and will keep us posted throughout the day. In the mean time let’s set aside any differences we might have in MLM ideology and as Network Marketing family members who love Network Marketing, let’s lift up some prayers for Rod and Marcie.

What would be great, is if everyone who reads this post will send me at email or better yet, leave a comment here on the page so Rod & Marcie can read them.

Rod & Miss Marcie I love you both and we are all praying.

Never Give UP,

Troy

Global Verge CEO MARK PTECHEL Answers MLM Watchdog Rod Cook’s Allegations about Buzzirk Wireless being just another MLM scam.

Over the years we see companies get off to rough starts, but that in no way means they are scams.

Over the last few days I have heard from some great Network Marketing Distributors who truly believe the new technology offered by Zer01 Mobile and Buzzirk Wireless will revolutionize the telecommunication industry.

I truly hope they are right, because if so, many will become millionaires, and others will truly change their lives forever.

Rod Cook aka The MLM Watchdog, and Chairman of the DRA (Distributor Rights Association) came out swinging this week sharing his insight into Buzzirk Wireless.

Like Rod I have received several calls and emails from folks asking for my opinion. Although I have been very open, I have not written on Buzzirk or Global Verge (be the way if you want to see Global Verge’s “buzzirk” site you need to go here) because I knew Rod was working on publishing something.

Before you click over to read Rod’s article I do want to touch on a couple of issues.

1. MLM Due Diligence: This is a must!!! Just because you hear some MLM Big HItter is joining a company, doesn’t mean the company is a real mlm opportunity. Take some time and do your homework.

Just last week I received a call from a company owner, who offered me $50K in stock to becoming 1 of 20 founders. Although the technology behind the company looks solid, I have some huge reservations because of the due diligence I have done.

2. MLM Start-Ups (MLM Pre-launches) Just because a company is in pre-launch or what the business community calls a start-up does not mean, you ould run the other way. You have to remember ALL MLM or Network Marketing type companies were start-ups once.

What I would do is be very cautious about “Pre-Launch MLMs) Yes, some Network Marketing companies will do a “soft launch” with a few leaders. But, in all my years (27 as a distributor, officer and owner) I have never seen any company who hit a billion in cumulative sales do it with smoke and mirrors, and over hyped half trues.

So do your homework and make sure you have all the facts before you jump in over your head.

Troy’s Truth: People are not looking for anew money story, they are looking for a leader who
will give them a crusade they can believe in. One that will allow them to help others while they are changing their lives forever.

Never Give Up,
