WorldVentures’ Sth African affiliates owed $106K in unpaid commissions

Jul.30, 2018 in World Ventures

Following other top affiliates that have sued the company for unpaid commissions, now comes Devraj and Cassandra Soojay with a lawsuit demanding $106,000.

According to their complaint, filed in a Texas District Court on July 5th, the Soojays identify themselves as ‘the #1 earning independent sales representative(s) for … WorldVentures in South Africa‘.

The Soojays joined WorldVentures in 2009 and as WorldVentures International Marketing Directors, claim they are entitled to ‘residual monthly payments … of approximately $60,164‘.

The Soojays claim that since last October, WorldVentures has only paid them $65,000 out of the $156,000 they’ve earned in commissions.

WorldVentures admits that it currently owes Plaintiffs $86,000.00 in unpaid monthly residual and cycle commissions and an additional $20,000.00 in lost benefits.

The Soojays are seeking $106,000 in damages, as well as attorney’s fees (estimated to be in excess of $75,000).

Several top affiliates have sued WorldVentures for unpaid commissions over the past few months, including Carlos Rogers and their top Asian affiliate Dennis Bay.

I’m hearing rumblings of WorldVentures having regulatory problems in China being the reason they stopped paying.

They were denied a license to operate in China and so went the “lol fly people to HongKong” route.

Haven’t seen any hard evidence yet so nothing concrete to report. Treating the claims as unverified for now.

AFAIK, WV never was legal in China. They got slapped back in March 2017 by China Tourism Bureau and China State Adminstration for Industry and Commerce (SAIC) as illegally operating in China.

They never obtained ANY permit in China, such as tourism seller permit or direct selling permit.

Apparently, WV pulled a move on WV members too. According to the article above, WV heads Nagent and Stammen were in China in 2016 as a part of “Sino-US Travel Year” event, and their photo made it onto the China Tourism board event site.

However, when asked, the tourism board rep said those two were attending as representatives of a Singaporean “HuanYu” global holding company unrelated to WV.

This holding company is registered in China as a non-profit. Somehow, this photo became WV advertising material with captions “WV legalized in China” or such wordings, which is totally bogus.

From what I’ve heard (unverified) WV went the “lulz recruit in China through HK” route. Which worked until Chinese authorities said “lol no”.

That caused the internal financial crisis which lead to unpaid commissions.

So now you’ve got top-affiliates like Dennis Bay wanting their money on recruitment in China, which WV doesn’t have because Chinese authorities seized a large percentage of it.
