The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a strong warning to Ghanaians — particularly young people — to be wary of individuals and networks linked to QNET and similar fraudulent schemes that are luring victims abroad under false pretences.
In a public announcement dated March 13, 2026, the Ministry said it had observed a troubling rise in cases where Ghanaian nationals were being deceived with promises of employment opportunities, business prospects, and assistance in securing European visas — only to end up stranded, detained, or subjected to exploitative conditions in foreign countries.
“These deceptive schemes have resulted in several victims being stranded, detained by foreign immigration authorities, or subjected to distressing and exploitative conditions abroad,” the Ministry said in the statement addressed to all media houses.
The warning names QNET a multilevel marketing company that has faced regulatory scrutiny and fraud allegations across several African countries, including Ghana, as part of a broader network of schemes targeting vulnerable youth.
The Ministry is urging the public to verify all travel, recruitment, and business offers through official channels before making any financial commitments or leaving the country.
Parents, guardians, and community leaders are also being called upon to help educate those around them about the dangers.
Suspicious activity can be reported to the Ministry’s consular division at [email protected] or by calling +233204552750. The public can also contact the relevant security and immigration authorities.
The Ministry said it remains committed to working with national institutions to protect Ghanaian citizens and dismantle criminal networks preying on unsuspecting individuals.
