The "Norway Gaming Board" government regulatory agency has issued a press release that stated that World Ventures, a "travel MLM", is suspected of being a pyramid scheme, and has issued request of information from the company regarding the member vs. affiliate ratio in order to determine its fate in Norway. The company has until June 4th to respond.
Those who track suspect schemes may recall that World Ventures is essentially a clone of the now defunct "TVI Express" scam out of India. TVI, or "Travel Ventures International", had travelled (no pun intended) all over the world, but has essentially unravelled when its head, Tarun Trikha was taken into custody earlier in India.
