QNET has appealed to churches and other religious organisations in Ghana to play a stronger role in educating their members about fraudulent travel, employment and human-trafficking schemes.
The company’s Global Compliance Officer, Lawyer Naana Quartey, made the appeal while addressing the 2026 All Ministers Seminar organised by the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.
Quartey said religious leaders were in a strong position to help protect young people because of the influence they have within their congregations. She urged pastors and other faith leaders to use their platforms to warn members about individuals who allegedly use the QNET name to make false promises about overseas employment and travel opportunities.
According to Quartey, some fraudsters have been misrepresenting QNET and using the company’s name and products without authorisation. She said such individuals do not represent the company.
She stressed that QNET is a direct-selling company and does not operate as a travel or employment agency. The company, she said, does not offer jobs or travel opportunities in exchange for money.
The warning comes amid concerns about fraudulent schemes targeting people who are looking for opportunities to work or travel abroad. Such schemes can involve promises of jobs, visas or other overseas opportunities in exchange for payments.
Quartey therefore called for greater public education to ensure that people can identify suspicious offers before they lose money or become victims of fraud.
She said religious leaders could make an important contribution by sharing accurate information with their congregations and encouraging members to verify claims before making payments or handing over personal information.
The QNET official also indicated that the company was working with the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to tackle individuals involved in fraudulent activities linked to the misuse of its name.
The company has previously said that it has supported efforts to identify victims and pursue cases involving the unauthorised use of its brand. QNET has also launched public education initiatives aimed at helping people distinguish legitimate business opportunities from fraudulent schemes.
QNET has repeatedly stated that it does not promise people overseas jobs or visas. It has warned that people approached by individuals claiming to represent the company and offering such opportunities should exercise caution and verify the claims.
The company has also urged the public to report suspicious activities involving the misuse of its name to the appropriate authorities.
Quartey’s appeal to churches is part of a broader effort to strengthen public awareness about scams. She believes that messages delivered through religious institutions could reach large numbers of people, particularly young people who may be searching for employment or opportunities abroad.
The issue has become increasingly important as fraudulent recruitment and travel schemes continue to exploit people’s hopes of finding better opportunities outside the country.
For families and individuals considering overseas employment, proper verification remains important before committing money or personal information to anyone claiming to provide travel or job services.
QNET’s call also places religious leaders at the centre of efforts to prevent fraud by encouraging them to educate their congregations about the dangers of accepting unverified offers.
The company maintains that greater cooperation between businesses, religious organisations, law-enforcement agencies and the public can help reduce the impact of scams and protect potential victims.
With churches and other religious bodies having extensive networks across Ghana, Quartey believes they can become an important channel for spreading anti-scam messages and helping people make informed decisions.
The appeal is therefore aimed at encouraging religious leaders to make scam awareness part of their engagement with congregations and to caution members against individuals who use attractive promises of jobs, travel or financial opportunities to deceive unsuspecting people.
