QNET denounces fraudulent schemes exploiting its name in Ghana
International wellness firm QNET says criminal networks are abusing its brand to lure job seekers and traffic victims across Ghana and West Africa.
QNET, an international lifestyle and wellness company, has publicly condemned the misuse of its name in fraudulent recruitment and human trafficking operations in Ghana.
The firm disclosed that criminal networks have been deceiving job seekers with false promises of overseas employment, visas and guaranteed income while claiming to represent QNET. Police in the Ashanti Region rescued 251 young people from a scheme operating in the Bohyen‑Ampabame area of Kumasi. The Ashanti Regional Police operation was part of broader efforts by Ghanaian authorities to dismantle the networks.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs noted that more than 300 Ghanaians have been rescued or repatriated from Nigeria and Côte d’Ivoire since the start of 2025 in cases linked to QNET‑related scams. QNET stressed that these activities bear no relation to its legitimate direct‑selling business, which involves product sales through independent distributors.
QNET’s Regional General Manager, Cherif Sarr, said the company is deeply concerned about the deception of vulnerable individuals. He affirmed that QNET maintains zero tolerance for fraud, human trafficking or any misrepresentation of its business as an employment opportunity. The company has entered a memorandum of understanding with the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to support public education, information sharing and repatriation assistance for victims.
Collaboration extends to at least 12 other West and Central African countries, where QNET works with law‑enforcement agencies to bring perpetrators to justice. The firm also met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on August 7, 2026, to clarify its business model and compliance measures.
To combat fraud, QNET launched its “QNET Against Scams” campaign in Ghana, urging the public to verify job offers through official channels and report suspicious activity. Reports can be made via the company’s website, email or WhatsApp hotline, or by contacting EOCO directly.
The company reiterated that it does not offer employment, visa processing, travel arrangements or guaranteed income, and any demand for money in exchange for such services violates its Code of Ethics.
QNET remains committed to cooperating with Ghanaian authorities and supporting investigations to protect consumers from criminal misuse of its brand.
