Direct selling company QNET has denied allegations linking it to human trafficking and illegal migration in Ghana and Burkina Faso.
QNET, in a statement, described those claims as “false” and “misrepresent” of its legitimate business model.
QNET explained that it operates as a direct-selling e-commerce platform, offering individuals the opportunity to become independent distributors of its wellness and lifestyle products.
“We categorically state that QNET does not offer jobs, migration assistance, or overseas employment services,” the company stated.
The company commended the Ghana Police Service for their quick action in a recent case where a Burkinabe national was arrested for allegedly trafficking seven foreign nationals under the pretense of overseas employment opportunities linked to QNET.
In fact, QNET revealed that it had collaborated with the Embassy of Burkina Faso in Ghana to facilitate the safe return of 22 Burkinabe nationals in a humanitarian initiative.
“We are proud to have supported the safe return of Burkinabe citizens and will continue to uphold our values by protecting individuals from exploitation,” said Biram Fall, Regional General Manager, QNET Sub-Saharan Africa.
QNET emphasized its commitment to integrity and ethical practices, stating that it maintains a zero-tolerance stance on fraud and unethical conduct.
The company encourages the public to verify facts before sharing reports that can harm victims and damage legitimate businesses.
“We urge the public, media, and community stakeholders to verify facts before sharing reports that can harm victims and damage legitimate businesses,” QNET stated.
The company also provided a WhatsApp Compliance Hotline (+233 2566 30005) and email address (network.integrity@qnet.net) for reporting suspicious activities.
