Freetown, Sierra Leone, June 19, 2026 – QNET, an international wellness and lifestyle company, is aware of recent publications by Sierraloaded and other media outlets regarding the arrest of 12 individuals allegedly linked to fraudulent activities in Waterloo, where individuals allegedly involved in fraudulent activities reportedly referenced the QNET name.
QNET wishes to clearly state that it dissociates itself from the alleged activities and confirms that the individuals involved were acting independently and were not authorised to represent the company or conduct any unlawful activities on its behalf.
Commenting on the matter, Biram Fall, Deputy Chairman of QNET for Sub-Saharan Africa, said:
“It is concerning to see QNET’s name wrongly associated with individuals suspected of engaging in fraudulent activities. We encourage media organisations and members of the public to verify information through QNET’s official channels before attributing any individual’s actions to the company. QNET has no involvement in these alleged activities and will continue working closely with authorities and stakeholders to address misuse of its brand “
While expressing concern for individuals who may have been affected by fraudulent schemes, QNET reiterates that criminals sometimes misuse established brands to deceive unsuspecting members of the public, and so it is important to independently verify every information on so-called opportunities.
Mr. Fall added:
“We sympathise with anyone who has fallen victim to fraudsters who exploit the QNET name for personal gain. However, it is important to distinguish between legitimate QNET representatives and individuals who misuse our brand without authorisation.”
QNET does not offer:
- Employment opportunities in exchange for payment
- Overseas jobs or visa arrangements
- Investment schemes promising financial returns
- Any form of coercive recruitment or unlawful activity
- Guaranteed income schemes
- Recruitment fees
The company continues to invest in public education initiatives, including its “QNET Against Scams” awareness campaign, which provides information through television, radio, online platforms, social media, print media, and outdoor communication channels across Sub-Saharan Africa.
QNET remains committed to working with relevant authorities to support investigations and ensure that individuals who misuse the company’s name are held accountable.
The company is also strengthening collaboration with law enforcement and regulatory institutions across West Africa, building on successful partnerships such as its engagement with Ghana’s Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to address fraudulent activities associated with brand misuse.
Members of the public are encouraged to verify any opportunity claiming an association with QNET by contacting the company directly through:

QNET remains committed to transparency, consumer protection, and responsible business practices.
