QNET Commends NSCDC, Reaffirms Zero Tolerance for Fraud and Human Trafficking

QNET, a global wellness and lifestyle-focused direct selling company, has noted recent media reports concerning an operation conducted by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps in Lagos State, which resulted in the rescue of several individuals and the arrest of suspects allegedly linked to human trafficking, unlawful detention, and fraudulent activities.

QNET unequivocally condemns all forms of human trafficking, fraud, exploitation, unlawful detention, and any other criminal activities that undermine human dignity and public trust.

The company commends the NSCDC for its swift response and for prioritising the safety, welfare, and protection of the affected individuals.

As investigations continue, QNET wishes to reiterate that it does not offer employment opportunities, overseas job placements, visa procurement services, migration programmes, or guaranteed financial returns in exchange for payment.

Any person, group, or organisation making such claims is acting independently and without the knowledge, authorisation, endorsement, or consent of QNET.

QNET operates a legitimate direct selling business model centred on wellness, lifestyle, and personal development products and services.

The company said it remains committed to ethical business practices and maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy toward the misuse of its name, brand, products, or business model for fraudulent or unlawful purposes.

The company will continue to cooperate with relevant authorities where necessary and encourages members of the public to verify any information regarding QNET’s products, services, and business opportunities through its official communication channels.

QNET remains steadfast in its commitment to consumer protection, transparency, and supporting efforts to combat fraud and human exploitation in all its forms.

Commenting on the incident, Biram Fall, regional general manager for Sub-Saharan Africa at QNET, said:

“Our thoughts are with those who have been affected by this unfortunate situation. We wish to reiterate that QNET does not offer jobs, overseas employment opportunities, visa services, or financial guarantees in exchange for payment. These are among the most common tactics used by fraudsters to exploit vulnerable individuals. We encourage the public to remain vigilant, verify information through our official channels, and report suspicious activities to the relevant authorities. Protecting the public and safeguarding the integrity of our brand remain top priorities for QNET.”

QNET maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy towards fraud, misrepresentation, and unethical conduct.

The company actively enforces its Code of Ethics and Compliance Framework and takes disciplinary action against any Independent Distributor found to be in breach of its policies.

Since commencing operations in Nigeria through its local partner, Transblue Limited, in 2022, QNET has intensified its collaboration with government institutions, consumer protection agencies, law enforcement bodies, and the media to combat scams and misinformation associated with its brand.

These efforts include the launch of the “Say NO!” Anti-Fraud Campaign in November 2023, as well as strategic partnerships with the Lagos State Consumer Protection Agency (LASCOPA) and the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment.

Beyond Nigeria, similar initiatives have been implemented in Ghana, Senegal, Burkina Faso, and Sierra Leone under the broader QNET Against Scams campaign.

These programmes are designed to educate communities on how to identify legitimate business opportunities, recognise common scam tactics, and avoid becoming victims of fraudulent schemes perpetrated in the company’s name.

QNET remains committed to working alongside governments, regulators, law enforcement agencies, media organisations, and civil society groups to combat fraud, protect consumers, and promote ethical entrepreneurship across Africa.

Members of the public are encouraged to verify information about QNET, its products, and its business model through the company’s official website.

Individuals who encounter suspicious recruitment activities, fraudulent job offers, visa schemes, or any misuse of the QNET name are urged to report such incidents through QNET’s compliance and integrity channels.
