Ladies and gentlemen all over the world, who'd happen to stumble by this blog review of mine (by accident or intended), be aware that this will be a very long blog about how I have encountered, why I invested and what I have discovered about this ludicrous Networking Business which is a mockery to the rest of Legit Multi-Level-Marketing companies all over the world, also let's not forget that I'll express my deepest disappointment and hatred about myself for being all ears that turned me guileless or I must say I was gullible during that day and of course, my blatant criticism.
Let me start by telling you a quick story about how it was introduced to me. Just last year October 19, 2014, so, I was not lured by a friend for a "part time" job as what most people were lied to just to get their asses be on their orientation, mine was actually .. Hmmm.. How to put this in words?
Home service? Laughs here. Of which shows how far people could go just to benefit from others, and sell you with phrases such as " we just want to help you" or " we just want to show you a great business opportunity". Well,
B U L L S H ! T.
It was late in the afternoon when I got back home from a fun-time with my gals when I noticed 4 meters from our door that my mom was with the company of someone. By the looks of it, ya know, the imaging with the paraphernalia such as laptop and other stuff, there and then I assumed it was a networker, ( a term which we often use to a person that is a member of networking company not a complimentary term though) as I entered the house, I did get the so called "gut feel" thingy that it's not gonna be good and ya know I told myself just tell him upfront that you're not interested then make him leave. Which, obviously, didn't happen. My mother on the other hand started telling this man" you should actually explain this to my daughter since I know she'll understand the things you're talking about because she's a computer geek ". In other words she can't relate -_- So I was like, how great, as if I have time for this (presentation) because I still have work to do. So I told myself, I'm all ears, explain 'til you can.
well the product is not really a product.
Well this man, named Rollin Rey Tan, was a former OFW or Overseas Filipino Worker in Dubai (my father is also in working Dubai which has a huge number of Filipino workers for it was an OPEN COUNTRY) was the one who introduced and presented the business plan to me. I don't know during that time if I'd feel honored to be presented by their appointed Director of MVT here in the Philippines though.

I don't know during that time if I'd feel honored to be presented by their appointed Director of MVT here in the Philippines though.
So let me start with the products:live video streaming broadcasts and programs, customized email broadcast messages, and video online channels and with its promising compensation plan "Dual Core Double Binary". Redundant. And it's with no flash out. Take note, N O F L A S H O U T
Network Industry was first introduced to me at the age of 16, which was 5 years ago, an astounding company that was founded 3 years ago prior to the year I became a member. I admit, being a member of that business was an honor, an honor that opened my eyes at an early age and educated myself that employment won't get me close to my dream life. Drama.. Though my membership got deactivated due to my upline's misdemeanor, I have no regrets, no loss, since I got my R O I back anyway in just few weeks.
I must admit, that I got heartbroken with my previous experience, but that was a one of a kind ride which I'm not gonna go on a detail here.
Going back, I must say, that, what was written on the script was highly convincing. The presentation was well made and well thought. So my negative mind turned soft. I can still remember he said that it's an E commerce business pattern, which I am into, since I am a freelancer, I do lots of stuff like designing swim wears and selling them online, and it's pioneering here in Davao, that it's a one time investment, that the product was really really great that even an IT of some sort in Dubai was wowed with it, that even a Senator with a nickname Chiz was using this product. Wouldn't those words enlighten you? Because it moved me. And so I thought that it'll do good for my small business. Also he said that I can name my own website and then I clarified if the TLD or Top Level Domain would be a .com, and he said YES. And oh! I forgot to mention, the investment amount would cost more or less $300 depending with the exchange rate but it was 13,000php. An amount which you can never find even if you walk around the whole city of Davao.
But by the next day, I invested Thirteen Thousand Pesos and by the next day another 13k for my mother which means in 2 days we took out 26,000 from our pockets that is more than $600. The whole idea why I invested was because I could make use of it and that promoting this product to the people I know is just a bonus.
I waited for a week to finally get my account started and to finally meet the product I invested for. I thought that the product is really a STATE OF THE ART internet based technology, CUTTING EDGE internet based product Blahh blaah blah. Guess what, I was robbed blind, it's traumatizing and depressing. With all due respect, I even wondered how much they paid those Caucasians to read their scripts to make it more convincing. Presentation alone was actually at its finest, but the product.
Changing topic slightly, let's talk about how it was constructed.
MVT Global, has a mother company which is the TEI a.k.a Team Effort International, LLC. Discussing the very root of this company, it's a combination of partnership and corporation or sole proprietorship type of a business. A business whose owners actively participate in the organizations management and are protected against personal liability for the organization's debts and obligation.
In short the owners, esp the founder doesn't give a damn about what you're going through that concerns the business.
In Philippines, LLC is not being recognized as a business structure, although a subsidiary company could register at the SEC or Security and Exchange Commission, it still needs to meet the requirement of the Law in the Philippine Constitution R.A. 8762 which the MVT had failed to do so from the time I was introduced to this since they didn't have tangible products. But as of now, actually,I haven't seen any of their "Health Spray Product" nor have I seen any ad posts of it on the most famous social media or any promotions whatsoever to whichever they'd want to post it.
Allow me to say this, you can't stop me anyway, but, I just observed a networking company that offers a "State of the Art" video marketing products suddenly created a health spray products? Fishy but Audacious!
Being the subsidiary of the Mother Company, this simply means that MVT, doesn't own their technology even the mother doesn't though and that means they don't have full control on the quality of their product. Obviously they never have been. They call themselves "founders" anyway.
Obviously they want to compete with other social media/VoIP given the services that they claim they do offer, but Facebook.com is hosted by Facebook with their own 2 servers, Youtube hosted by Google Inc with 4 servers, Skype hosted by Skype Communication Sarl also having 4 servers and founders or let's say the brains of the development of these very popular online softwares are knowledgeable about internet technology while on the other hand Myvideotalk.com is hosted by Godaddy with Godaddy.com's server as well, Eaglesglobal.com is hosted by Weebly.com and the Dashbored tools.securedfreedom.com is hosted by centurylink.
Can you even guess what's in my mind while retaliating these things?
It's just a bunch of questions that start with the word WHY..
Ever wondered why Myvideotalkph.com (which is hosted by Godaddy.com as well) has only 3 products while myvideotalkusa.com (again hosted by Godaddy.com) has 5 products? Really though? What does this means?
For anyone who doesn't have any idea what the heck is this host thing I'm blabbing about, I'll give you a simple explanation if you prefer not to google it for whatever reasons you may or may not have. A host is like a publishing house/company responsible for the distribution of mass numbers of books,say you're a writer, you're writing a book, you want other people to know about your novels, stories, etc, to sell your product but of course it needs to be published and of course it comes with multiple copies in order for it to be distributed. Why? Because it's just ridiculous to only have one copy be published, you can just maybe print it your own have it covered with a thick binder. And voila! A journal! So the distribution of the printed copies are like publishing a website online. That's the role of the host
And oh yeah, I almost forgot, VoIP or Voice over Internet Protocol like Skype, which is the Video Conferencing that MVT offers to have, it was quite remarkable, in fact it left a mark, in my mind, a mark that yells that the free stuff online are of high quality than My Video Talk that worth thousands of pesos. My experience while using it? Well, here's what happened, I called a friend from Canada to show my new "business venture" through using it, unfortunately, it embarrassed me, for my side of the world was so hard to be sight on his side of the world, thus I didn't let that ruin my momentum of embracing my business venture just by a single lost of luck when using it, so I tested it with my boyfriend who's in Germany. Same sheet happened. Unable to hear and see me, though I am seeing myself, also the fonts are so tiny, it can't be changed as well, no smiley, no emoticon, nothing. Boring. So I asked Ms. Glenn Yacas, another member who was said to be earning greatly through this business, to help me with the trouble I encountered, and she just said, she has no idea how it works because she never used it and even insisted for me to attend a some sort of an orientation concerning the product, also I asked Mr. Rollin Rey Tan about the same problem, guess what he said, he said he doesn't know how to use it because he never did use it. Just imagine, a guy who earns 6-digits proudly and confidently speaking to you about his business deal without even knowing his own product.
I can still recall when I refuted that the worth of the product was a little bit too much for me Mr. Rollin said that the cost of having the website alone is more than the R E T U R N O F I N V E S T M E N T that I should be getting. Is that so? Let's say for a monthly price of web hosting from Godaddy.com would only cost me $3.49/Php 146.58 multiply by 12 months is equals $41.88/Php 1758.96. Like oh come on! I still have change from my Php26,000.
Right now, I am only interested on knowing how many people actually would record themselves and mail it. Because I personally find it so annoying that whenever I have to click on something, new window pops up. Record yourselves blabbing with an uncertainty that it was viewed, Well at least, as for youtube, you'd totally have viewers.
So what really happens when you mail your video using the MVT to a person? It's like this, you record, type in the email address of your contact, add a template that you've customized, then send. What will appear in the recipient's inbox? A link of your video redirecting to a website that Rollin Rey Tan has said that the domain can be changed. About the template, it's the fun part, no matter how good the quality of an image you'd like for a background, it won't look as nice as it is. I actually don't know why, can't even re-position it. It has a limited storage though. Tsk tsk tsk... The funny part is that if you'd mail an uploaded video from youtube to a person, of course by copy-pasting the URL, a thumbnail would be generated you press send and voila! The recipient would be directed to the link. And that thing ladies and gentlemen, is free.
Whereas if I'll purchase my own website that comes with video and audio players,site search,password protection,membership areas with unlimited members and public registration (which my membership in MVT be classified), unlimited storage,online store, store products, digital goods, inventory management, shipping and tax calculator, use of discount codes, checkout domain and SSL (the thing I was hoping that MVT comes with which he L I E D to) and a premium support for only $24.92/Php 1046.64 a Y E A R. Yes, that is right $24.92 each year or equivalent to Php 1046.64,
And that, ladies and gents is what I call E-commerce. Ooops, I almost forgot, I ain't disregarding MVT from the list of E-commerce because it is an E-commerce biz, if you have seen on your homepage (where you'd see some announcements of those member who reached certain level such as 1 star, 2 stars, 3 stars, 4, 5 man they want constellation!) you'd see products on the top of the navigation bar. If you want to upgrade all you need to do is to add to cart those items. And yeah he said one time investment though he never mentioned the upgrading stuff..
So my arguments in here are:

Ever wondered why Myvideotalkph.com (which is hosted by Godaddy.com as well) has only 3 products while myvideotalkusa.com (again hosted by Godaddy.com) has 5 products? Really though? What does this means?
- Why do they have lots of websites? I mean I understand if they make different websites for different countries, but why really?
- Why with different hosts?
- Why do they need a yearly maintenance fee from each members that invested? (It's just a one efin website that members log in though)
- Why have I not discovered this the night that it was presented to me even though I have read some negative reviews? Please play the song "lose yourself by Eminem"
- Why have I not followed my gut feel?
- Why does the product that I purchased from them looks like a customer portal page from an online shopping website? drum roll please
- Why do I have to download and install an application with a non-trusted publisher not even encrypted by MVT?
- Why are they so confident about promoting the product when in fact 15% of the members might have only used this and 85% still adores facebook. WTH
For anyone who doesn't have any idea what the heck is this host thing I'm blabbing about, I'll give you a simple explanation if you prefer not to google it for whatever reasons you may or may not have.

So my arguments in here are:
- Was I misinformed? Or they played the make-to-believe game to me just so I'd invest? liars!
- Is the company really debt free?
- Are they aware that this whole scheme is not right?
- Are each offices they claim that the company owns registered in SEC per branch?
- Do they have the permit to operate? because printing papers are easy
- If the compensation was taxable and it came from the USA doesn't that shows you are working in the U.S.?
- Are the members uninterested with their ITR (Income Tax Return)?
- How can they have the guts to brag about the product of their company when they don't even know how it works?
- Isn't that the meaning of network marketing is the movement of products and services (not or) from the manufacturer to the ultimate consumer through a network of independent associates/distributors? Because I ain't seeing any movement in here. It's like the movement of people to gather more people to be under them. Hahaha!
- How many people do you have to recruit again so the company could buy you a car?
If you'd tell me that I am talking nonsense here, complaining, ranting, mocking whatsoever, because I didn't become a Millionaire after a year of being a member, let me tell you this, I have had a solid base of prospects, Web Developers, web designers, Call Center owners/ GM, IT Director, Tech Support dude, bloggers, vloggers, event organizers, independent sellers online, writers, photographers, models, public personality and people who juts love to invest to make more money name it. It wasn't hard for me to promote something like this if only, I F O N L Y it wasn't this bad!
So please tell me, if a graphic designer such as myself would recruit those people given above and noticed the same things that I did, what do you think will happen?
The truth is that, there's is more than meets the eye. It just happens that I believed. Maybe you're earning now, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow and by the next month, But without realizing that the more people you got below you, the more lives you have destroyed. Might not be financially but mentally.
I remembered the first time someone from MVT had told me that she just wants to enjoy the benefit of what the product can do without using it herself, I find it a little bit hard to grasp. Just S T U P I D.
It can somehow be compared to a drug pusher, the only difference is that, the buyer knows what he/she is doing without the need of sales talk.
You have reached the end of the blog!
Congratulations!
P.S.
I wasn't bitching. I wanted to talk this over to them but they just won't meet me.
They're so busy with their guilt free business.
LOL
But anyway, if I were you, I'd be diffident to promote such product
like this, unless, you'd talk about this to someone who's not knowledgeable about internet stuff
who only knows how to log in and log out and chat, play games and post statuses online and of course someone whom you know has the money.
Speaking of the very bitter truth.
You don't get to tell me that I may just have a ridiculous high standard
about the world wide web stuff. Because I don't. I just know how to differentiate
ugly from great quality.
Perhaps, I expected too much, oh well, what lying have done.
Also, I visited their little office once, all I have heard was telling their new bloods to just bring 2 people a day to be presented with this insane biz scheme.
Which is a clear clue that it's illegal.
Yow man, people is the product in here for MVT owns none.
