QNET, a global wellness and lifestyle company, has cautioned the public to be wary of individuals and syndicates fraudulently using its name to lure victims with fake job and travel opportunities.
Speaking on Morning Starr on Starr 103.5 FM on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, QNET’s Global Compliance Officer, Theodocia Naana Quartey, stressed that the company does not recruit people for foreign jobs or scholarships, contrary to claims circulating online and in some communities.
“QNET is a wellness and lifestyle company that uses a direct-selling model,” she explained. “We sell products through word-of-mouth promotion, and distributors earn commissions, we don’t recruit people for foreign jobs.”
Ms. Quartey revealed that the company has partnered with the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to clamp down on fraud syndicates exploiting the QNET brand to deceive unsuspecting Ghanaians.
“We had been hearing about all these atrocities, some of the stories so heartbreaking,” she said. “The company decided we needed to engage stakeholders because we realised we could only do so much on our own.”

She said since signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with EOCO, there has been an increase in reports and investigations into fraudulent activities involving fake QNET agents. “We have seen an upsurge of complaints. EOCO has confirmed receiving several reports, and recently there was a major bust in Banso where victims were rescued,” she disclosed.
Ms. Quartey noted that many of the victims were young people deceived with false promises of scholarships and overseas employment. “We found a group of Francophone nationals who had been lured with fake travel offers. It’s sad to see people lose their life savings to such scams,” she said.
To enhance transparency and public engagement, QNET has opened a physical compliance office on Lagos Avenue in East Legon, where people can verify information or report suspicious activity.
“We are not hiding,” she emphasised. “Anyone can walk in and make inquiries about the company or report suspicious activities.”

She urged Ghanaians to remain vigilant and verify all information before engaging anyone claiming to represent QNET.
“If someone promises you a job abroad or asks you to pay money in QNET’s name, it’s fake,” she warned. “EOCO is now on board, and we will ensure scammers are prosecuted.”
