QNET, an international wellness and lifestyle company, is aware of the publication by Sierraloaded.sl, which narrated the account of an individual who was allegedly scammed of Le 18,000,000 in 2018. The article falsely and inaccurately attributed the individual’s narration to a fraudulent scheme linked to QNET. QNET dissociates itself from this allegation and advises people to be vigilant when others offer them fake investment, employment or travel opportunities in exchange for money.
Talking about QNET’s commitment to protecting the public and consumers, Biram Fall, Deputy Chairman of QNET for Sub-Saharan Africa, said: “We empathise with those who have unfortunately fallen victim to the activities of criminals who deliberately scam people of their hard-earned money. QNET is taking proactive steps to protect the public and consumers from continuing to fall victim to those who misuse and misrepresent QNET’s name and products to deceive innocent people.”
“We will continue to provide authentic information about our business to the public so that it can help people understand how fraudsters misuse the company name and how to avoid them. QNET does not offer investment schemes, jobs abroad or visas in exchange for money. The company does not coerce people into its business by kidnapping or trafficking them.”
According to Mr Fall, the simplest way to identify these scammers is by their making false promises of employment, visas, or investments and asking victims to travel to other countries for these fake opportunities, sometimes using QNET’s name.
QNET recently held a media webinar that brought together about 25 experienced journalists from various media organisations in Sierra Leone to deepen their understanding of the company’s efforts to combat misinformation and misuse of its name and products.
Across Sub-Saharan Africa, QNET is intensifying its awareness campaigns through its “QNET Against Scams” initiative, broadcast on television, radio, online media, social networks, and billboards, as well as in print media.
The company is also strengthening its collaboration with security institutions and working on replicating its exemplary partnership with Ghana’s Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) in other parts of West Africa to effectively combat these fraudulent practices.
The public is advised to verify any opportunities claiming to be linked to QNET by contacting the company directly via its compliance service on WhatsApp at +233 2566 30005 or by email at network.integrity@qnet.net.
