Freetown, Sierra Leone, 25 January, 2025 – QNET, a product-oriented global wellness and lifestyle company with 26 years of experience, has become aware of the publication by Sierraloaded allegedly restating a comment made by the Inspector General of Police about the repatriation of 113 Guineans alleged arrested for offences attributed to QNET. As a law-abiding and legitimate product-oriented business, QNET wishes to reiterate its stance and hereby distances itself from the activities of the reported individuals and states categorically that they were in no way acting at the behest of the company.
In his response when contacted, QNET’s Regional General Manager for sub-Saharan Africa, Biram Fall, reiterated that: “QNET does not instruct people to leave their countries to other places to promote its products or engage in any offence or behave in ways that are unlawful. QNET does not condone illegal gatherings, and it does not offer employment opportunities abroad. We continue to create awareness about QNET and will not relent on our efforts to spread the truth about QNET. We encourage everyone to disregard all attempts by some unscrupulous people to tarnish the image and reputation of our company, especially people who falsely claim there are doing a QNET-business when they are arrested for wrongdoing.”
QNET is implementing its media and public education campaign across the sub-region. The “Say No” and “QNET Against Scams” campaigns utilise strategically positioned billboards, television and radio announcements, online media and newspaper publications and interactive flyer distribution methods to spread the truth about QNET and warn the public about individuals misusing its name and products to facilitate fraudulent activities. The “QNET Against Scams” campaign will soon be rolled out in Sierra Leone to help the fight against scams and misrepresentation of the QNET brand.
In 2024 alone, QNET helped over 250 victims report fraudulent activities tied to the misuse of QNET’s name. Additionally, the company initiated more than 42 legal cases across Sub-Saharan Africa to address this issue.
The company urges the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities involving its name to the nearest police station or reach out to QNET via its WhatsApp hotline at +233 256 630 005 or email at network.integrity@qnet.net.
