Global wellness and direct-selling company QNET has applauded the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) for its recent operation in Lagos that rescued victims and led to the arrest of suspects linked to alleged human trafficking, unlawful detention and fraudulent activities, while firmly distancing itself from the criminal network.
The company’s reaction comes amid growing concerns over the increasing use of established corporate brands by fraud syndicates to lure unsuspecting job seekers and vulnerable individuals with false promises of overseas employment, visa assistance and quick financial rewards.
In a statement on Wednesday, QNET condemned all forms of human trafficking, exploitation, fraud and unlawful detention, describing the alleged activities uncovered by the NSCDC as criminal acts that have no connection with its business operations.

The company stressed that it does not offer employment opportunities, overseas job placements, migration services, visa processing or guaranteed investment returns in exchange for payment, noting that such claims are among the most common tactics used by fraudsters impersonating legitimate businesses.
