Another fifty-five victims of MLM human trafficking have been deported from Ghana.

As reported by Ghana News Agency on September 7th, the Northern Regional Command announced thirty-eight NeoLife victims and seventeen QNet victims had been intercepted and “safely repatriated”.

The victims were from Burkina Faso, a landlocked African country that neighbors Ghana to the north.

MLM human trafficking in Ghana has been a problem for years. Scammers promoting MLM pyramid schemes typically lure unsuspecting victims with bogus job offers.

Once contact has been made, passports are confiscated and the victims are forced to recruit new victims into the scheme.

QNet related human trafficking has been well documented on BehindMLM. Our last July 2025 report detailed the arrest of nine QNet scammers in Ghana.

NeoLife is a new player to MLM human trafficking. BehindMLM’s August 2017 NeoLife review however reveals similarities with QNet.

Ghanaian authorities have labelled QNet and NeoLife as “alleged fraudulent schemes” associated with “cyber fraud and associated immigration irregularities”.

Like QNet, NeoLife runs an autoship recruitment MLM business model. New promoters are recruited and strongly encouraged to sign up for a monthly autoship order.

This lends itself to recruitment of promoters on autoship, which inevitably leads to NeoLife primarily generating revenue from recruited promoters on autoship.

As long as there’s money to be made, QNet for the most part turns a blind eye to pyramid recruitment in Ghana.

Unfortunately despite QNet defrauding consumers for decades and multiple regulatory fraud warnings issued globally, Malaysian authorities have failed to take action.

NeoLife is a US-based MLM company with an eighty-one year history.

Headed up by founder and Chairman Jerry Brassfield (right), NeoLife appears to have recently shifted focus to Africa.

As of August 2025, SimilarWeb tracked Nigeria as the top source of website traffic at 34%. The US closely trailed behind at 33%.

It’s common for pyramid scheme recruitment to spread across African countries. Twenty-six QNet promoters were arrested in Nigeria earlier this year.

Whether NeoLife responds to human trafficking recruitment in Ghana, or adopts the QNet approach, remains to be seen.
