MONROVIA, LIBERIA-Seasoned journalists from Liberia and Sierra Leone have rendered their testimonials about QNET as a legitimate business, while the international lifestyle and wellness company outlined its compliance and enforcement measures to combat the misuse and misrepresentation of its name and products.
QNET reaffirmed its zero tolerance for the misuse of its name in scams, misleading job offers, coercion, or illegal cross-border movement.
The company revealed this at a QNET VCON Malaysia 2026 Media Webinar for Liberian and Sierra Leonean journalists held on Thursday, 22nd October, 2026, hosted by the Managing Editor of The Calabash Newspaper, Amin Kef Sesay.
Speaking at the Webinar, QNET’s Regional General Manager for West and Central Africa, Cherif Sarr, said the company has introduced a Business 2U accreditation process, requiring independent distributors to undergo verification, meet regulatory requirements and receive authorization before operating independent offices.
Sarr said, “QNET recorded 141 distributor terminations for non-compliance between 2025 and the time of the briefing. These included 26 accounts linked to facilitating false cross-border movement. The company also said it reported 158 cases to authorities and actively assisted more than 3,000 victims to return to their countries or families”.
QNET urged the public to report suspicious offices claiming to represent the company. It also pointed to its “QNET Against Scams” campaign, launched in August 2024, which provides education and reporting channels for suspected fraudulent schemes. The campaign has been implemented in Ghana, Sierra Leone and Senegal, with plans to deepen its reach and extend it to additional countries.
Marlene Keur, Head of Communications and Global PR for QI Group, parent company of QNET, said the company’s business model is based on independent distributors promoting and selling products, with commissions earned from product sales, not recruitment.
To reinforce that distinction and set clear standards for distributor conduct, she said QNET maintains a public compliance portal on its website that outlines its code of conduct and identifies prohibited “red line” offences.
Journalists from Liberia and Sierra Leone who travelled to the company’s Head Office in Malaysia this September to unravel the truth about QNET gave a brilliant account of what they saw and experienced
In her remarks, Cecilia Sesay, a TV presenter at the Sierra Leonean Broadcasting Corporation, said her trip was both eye-opening and experiential.
She said she confirmed that QNET has an office, amazing products, and qualified professionals, contrary to the perception that the brand was fictitious. She spoke with the company’s management during a press conference in Malaysia and asked difficult questions about the identity and misuse of the brand’s name and products in Liberia and Sierra Leone.
Liberian journalist Blamo Toe, a reporter with Liberian Investigator, also delivered his account of the VCON Malaysia trip.
He enumerated the visit to the QNET head office to see the product gallery, attend the company briefing session, visit QI University, the opening ceremony of the VCON that brought together thousands of QNET’s independent distributors from many countries of the world, and the exclusive press conference with QNET executives, where all probing questions about the company’s operations were explained in a very transparent and genuine manner.
QNET said it intends to continue working with media and authorities to promote accurate reporting and protect the public from scams using its name.
Since 2022, QNET has invited journalists and social media influencers from across Africa to visit its Malaysia headquarters and attend VCON, the company’s signature global conference.
These visits allow participants to learn more about QNET and share their insights with colleagues and the public. They are part of the company’s efforts to raise awareness of its business model, achievements, and challenges.
