QNET Raises Alarm over Impersonation in Nigeria, Urges Public Caution

QNET, a global lifestyle and wellness-focused direct-selling company, is worried about some fraudulent activities being carried out in Nigeria in the name of its CSR arm, RYTHM Foundation. 

QNET in a statement, said an individual had set up an office in Port Harcourt in the name of the RYTHM Foundation and was using online ads offering jobs in the foundation. 

According to the statement, the incident came to light when a job seeker who had contacted the individual about the job was asked to pay a fee to secure it. Suspicion prompted the job seeker to verify the ad’s legitimacy by contacting the Foundation directly. QNET promptly reported the incident to relevant authorities, which led to the arrest of the perpetrator. The matter is currently under investigation. 

“QNET is deeply troubled by the impersonation of the RYTHM Foundation for illicit activities, including fake job offers and other deceptive practices. RYTHM Foundation, QNET, and any of our affiliate companies are not associated with these activities and disavow any connection with the perpetrators. The company is committed to collaborating with authorities to apprehend fraudsters,” the statement added. 

QNET warns the public to be vigilant and verify information before engaging in any such commitments. 

” QNET and any of its other affiliated companies do not offer jobs in exchange for a fee. The company urges the public to report any such job ads via the WhatsApp compliance hotline for Sub-Saharan African markets at +233256630005.
