Global wellness and lifestyle company QNET has directed all its accredited offices in Ghana to relocate to commercial areas to ensure greater public scrutiny of their operations.
The company said the move is intended to bring the activities of its accredited offices into the full glare of the public, making it easier for authorities and the public to monitor their operations and distinguish legitimate activities from fraudulent ones.
For years, fraudsters have allegedly infiltrated the organisation and used the QNET name to perpetrate various forms of crime.
QNET Global Compliance Officer, Naana Quartey, said the company is collaborating with the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) and the Ghana Police Service to rid its operations of illegal elements.
Mrs Quartey made the disclosure at the Ministers’ Seminar of the Pentecostal and Charismatic Churches Conference in Kumasi.
She appealed to pastors and leaders of religious organisations to caution their members against falling victim to fake job and travel schemes being perpetrated in QNET’s name.
According to her, QNET is a legitimate direct-selling business and does not operate as a travel or employment agency.
“Scammers and individuals not authorised by the company are misrepresenting QNET. These scammers do not work for QNET. We are concerned about innocent people who fall victim.
“So, we want pastors and other religious leaders to be the mouthpiece to speak to the people, thereby protecting them from falling prey to scammers who dupe them through the misuse of the QNET brand,” she said.
Mrs Quartey revealed that QNET is working with EOCO to clamp down on individuals involved in fraudulent activities linked to the company’s name.
She said the collaboration recently included a workshop for representatives from 13 Central and West African countries as part of efforts to combat cross-border fraud.
She also disclosed that last month, EOCO, with support from QNET, rescued and arrested 44 foreign nationals believed to be connected to a travel scam syndicate.
The group comprised 34 nationals of Burkina Faso, eight from Côte d’Ivoire, one from Mali and one from Nigeria.
Following screening, 33 Burkinabe nationals were repatriated on August 13, 2026, and handed over to INTERPOL Burkina Faso.
Speaking on the topic “The Church and the Law,” Mrs Quartey underscored the need for religious leaders to be conversant with Ghana’s laws in addition to their core spiritual responsibilities.
For his part, Chairman of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC), Ashanti Region, Apostle Dr Bright Sosu, described the seminar as an eye-opener.
He advised religious leaders to always verify information before sharing it with their members.
