26 QNet human trafficking victims rescued in Ghana
Another twenty-six victims of QNet recruitment trafficking have been rescued in Ghana.
Ghanian authorities, working with QNet, made nine arrests on October 17th.
This time around the trafficked QNet victims are from Ghana and neighboring Côte d’Ivoire. The arrested suspects are also from Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire.
As per an October 17th report from StarrFM;
According to EOCO, intelligence gathered revealed that both foreign nationals and Ghanaians had been lured into the scheme, which falsely promised job placements with the reputable company.
Presumably QNet assisted by handing over account details of the suspects.
Unfortunately this doesn’t address QNet being a pyramid scheme, let alone reputable. And it seems as long as there’s money to be made kidnapping people and forcing them to recruit new victims, QNet human trafficking will remain a problem in Ghana.
QNet is an MLM pyramid scheme run out of Malaysia by founder Vijay Eswaran (right).
Unfortunately despite QNet defrauding consumers for decades and multiple regulatory fraud warnings issued globally, Malaysian authorities have failed to take action.
QNet was ordered to cease business operations in Ghana in 2022. Despite the court order however, QNet has continued to defraud consumers through underground operations.
In an ideal world nobody would be getting kidnapped but MLM related human trafficking, specifically of QNet victims, has been a problem in Ghana for years.
- in August 2019 fifty-two QNet promoters were deported as part of a crackdown on crime;
- in September 2020 QNet promoters were busted for posing as National Security operatives (FBI equivalent);
- in July 2021 a QNet promoter committed suicide after being roped into the scam;
- in August 2021 two QNet promoters were arrested for hostage recruitment;
- in October 2021 fifteen QNet promoters were arrested and three hundred and ninety-six human trafficked victims rescued;
- in November 2021 youths fed up with QNet scamming stormed a local office and stabbed promoters inside;
- in April 2022 eight QNet promoters were arrested and one hundred and twenty human trafficked victims rescued;
- in August 2022 three QNet promoters were jailed after a gruesome ruse to kidnap family members into the scam came undone;
- in October 2022 thirty-six QNet promoters were arrested after being lured into Ghana on false pretenses;
- in February 2023 sixty QNet promoters were arrested for trafficking victims from Togo, Nigeria and Burkina Faso;
- in September 2024 four hundred and eighty-seven QNet promoters were arrested for Ponzi recruitment;
- in July 2025 nine QNet promoters were arrested after authorities busted a human trafficking ring between Ghana and Nigeria;
- in September 2025 seventeen human trafficked QNet victims were rescued and deported from Ghana; and
- earlier this month one hundred and ten human trafficked QNet victims were rescued after being lured into Ghana on false pretenses
To the detriment of consumers in Africa, the cat and mouse game between QNet, the scam’s promoters and Ghanaian authorities continues.
