QNET, a global lifestyle and wellness direct selling company, in a press briefing organized on Monday, 14 April 2025 in Accra, has comprehensively addressed a number of negative claims arising from some traditional and social media publications, reiterating that the company is largely being misrepresented and its brand name and products misused by certain individuals for personal gains.
The Regional General Manager for QNET, Biram Fall and Global Compliance Officer, Mrs. Naana Quartey took turns clarifying issues ranging from the news on the arrest of 44 Cameroonians to media publications about victims of travel and employment scams.
QNET Strongly Dissociates Itself From The Arrest and 44 Cameroonians
Stated by Mr. Fall: “We are aware that some Cameroonians who were allegedly involved in internet fraud and scam, have been arrested by the police. According to the statement released by the police, they were lured to Ghana from Cameroon, on the promise of securing employment opportunities. Clearly, this is a case of individuals who acted on their own volition to scam other people using employment opportunities as a bait. QNET has nothing to do with this unlawful behaviour; they were not acting on behalf of the company.”
Social Media Videos of Alleged “QNET Offices”
Mr. Fall further clarified: “QNET does not operate multiple offices across different locations in Ghana. Rather, QNET has established a QNET Training Centre in Ghana and it is operated by our partner, Bosomtwi Industries, a registered Ghanaian company. It is located at East Legon in Accra and it is the only official QNET address in Ghana. We have hosted several media briefings and events there, so, a lot of journalists are familiar with the QNET Training Centre.”
Overseas Job and Visa Scams and Other Cases
QNET said it was not an employment, travel or visa agency and does not promise anyone employment opportunities or work and travel visas to any country. The company warned that certain individuals exploit others with the false promise of overseas employment, and they should be reported to QNET or the law enforcement agencies.
QNET Supporting Law Enforcement Agencies to Fight Scams
QNET has helped over 250 victims report fraudulent activities tied to the misuse of QNET’s name. Additionally, in 2024, the company initiated more than 42 legal cases across Sub-Saharan Africa to address this issue.
QNET’s Public Education Campaign
In Ghana, QNET has implemented a 360-degree public and media education campaign called QNET Against Scams, to help people understand its business model better, get familiar with its products, and to be able to identify and report scam. Across the country, QNET used billboards, radio, television, social media and online news portals to disseminate anti-scam messages to Ghanaians.
Mr. Fall concluded by reminding the media about the salient truth about QNET and its business model and encouraged them to include same in their publications about the company: “We are using this opportunity to reiterate that QNET is not an employment or travel agency. We do not promise anyone that we can secure visas or jobs for them in any country. We are deeply alarmed that miscreants have been misusing our name to make false promises to vulnerable individuals. We condemn their actions and warn the public not to fall for such scams. We also urge the public to reach out to us through our hotline if they are approached by people claiming to represent QNET and offer them jobs or visas or any such misleading claims. We will help them with taking legal action against the perpetrators.”
QNET encourages the public to verify any business claims through its official website (www.qnet.net) or report suspicious activities via WhatsApp (+233 256 630 005) or email ([email protected])
