I have been cheated by my two relatives named NK and MT (short names) who came to my home with QNET business saying their is a good opportunity for you where you have to do e-comm through computer and phone only to earn handsome money where no another job or business can give in next 3–4 years. They took my credit card in Feb 2014 with giving 100% surety and trust as being close family members. They said by spending 3.5 lakhs (one time) you can buy BMW car in next 3 years and earn Rs. 10Lakhs per week but you have to do the business through phone and computer.
After 5 days MT called me up and said its urgent to register me today as it is last day so they require credit card transfer of around 2.5–3lakhs. I questioned them why in so hurry let me know the business first and then add me when I fully understand but they gave assurance that we will refund your amount if you do not like the business policy. I transferred the amount on their trust.
After that they called me to Cafe Coffee Day Saket for some meeting with DK and others where I did not understand the concept and finally 5–6 people were given so called ‘Welcome’ for joining the business.
I then went for VCELL at CCD Saket where on my 1st VCELL the lady was guiding to get the money from relatives on lies (like: pretend your relatives that you are in emergency need of 3–4 lakh and can they give). I got angry to my relatives that what kind of work this is where people ask to tell lies to your relatives and ask for money.
Then again they asked me to attend another VCELL at CCD saket but till then I could not understand the nature of business and I kept full trust on my relatives. Their I came to know people are quitting their jobs (with package of 20-30laks per annum) and joining this business. The people who have joined this scheme are well educated and possess higher qualifications. Then also I said I have no trust in this type of schemes as this remind me of several other scams.
Finally in April 2014 they asked me to come for VCON and they kept calling me everyday to come for VCON-2014 Malaysia where everything will be cleared. I got my passport renewed by spending Rs. 10000 and gave another chunk of money to them without asking any questions and they said total expenses will be around 70–75k for the V-CON Malaysia trip.
My relatives said that if you do not like the business after attending V-CON then we will refund your money and the Malaysia Trip costs. I thought if they are saying with such a surety then there might be a good opportunity they are offering to me being a well wisher.
I went to Malaysia with good hope but all got spoiled after attending first two days of V-CON. I gave them clue about not liking the business in their so called ‘Sharing’ on 9th May in Penang, Malaysis. The trip was of cost around 95000–1Lakh finally excluding personal expenses.
Now after returning to India when I said that the company business is not acceptable by me then they said rest of the people who went for V-CON for the first time never complained and you are the only person complaining. I asked them to refund my money as well as Malaysia trip cost as per their promise to pay back.
Now they are asking me to meet their senior person and not picking up the phone or replying my messages for paying back.
I have recordings of almost all the telephonic conversations and will lodge a fraud complain against all involved in cheating me.

These guys are already fooled by others and are trying to fool you. Such kind of business totally depends on relations and your networks, fooling your loved ones is not a good idea at all. There are many other business opportunities why these smart people do not try those for making money? they are not at all hard workers nor they have any innovation in themselves thats the reason they are into this business. They just try to lure you by giving examples of heaven, honey, some imaginary stories, politics as a scam, no advertising saves money and so onn…Why they do not directly declare what the scheme is and what the product value is(if it has ofcrs). Why they require moivational presenation to sale the product if the product is worth it?? Actually all the uplines are not of the worth of being there by paying the bucks earlier than you. The products are actually of no requirement as you would not do foreign trips frequently in your hustled life, whenever you feel you need to just pay the amount and have one trip, its your freedom and flexiblity. Jst think with your brains open and not with opening mind and keeping it aside.
The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Police on Friday arrested eight top members of Vihaan Direct Selling (India) Pvt Ltd, a franchise of Hong Kong-based company Qnet, that was allegedly indulging in a binary scheme — one where existing members are required to bring in more members.
Padmashree awardee and billiards champion Michael Ferreira is an 80 per cent shareholder in this company.
The EOW is yet to decide if Ferreira should be called in for questioning. He has been claiming that he was only a shareholder and had no idea about the company’s activities, officials said.
“Qnet has been trying to operate in India under various names for several years but has always been getting into trouble with the law. For the last two years, it has been operating through Vihaan, its master franchise based in Bangalore. It has, till date, made Rs 425 crore through its activities, which include selling of cosmetic and other products as well as attracting as many members as possible,” said Rajvardhan Sinha, Additional Commissioner of Police, EOW.
“We had earlier raided its offices and arrested their regional leader Manjunath Hegde. On Friday, we have arrested eight top level members from various places in Mumbai,” added Sinha.
According to officials of the EOW, Vihaan Direct Selling had been under the scanner since April this year after one Gurpreet Singh complained to the agency alleging that the company had cheated his wife to the tune of Rs 31,500. Two members of the company had allegedly convinced his wife to become a member of the company and had taken the amount as membership fee. The EOW found that the company had attracted over 90,000 people as its members.
“Such kind of binary scheme is banned in India under the Prize Chitfund and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act,” said Sinha.

According to an additional commissioner of police, the EOW has frozen six bank accounts of QNet that have Rs46 crore as balance, and their teams would soon visit Bengaluru and Chennai to arrest some suspects
Economic offences wing (EOW) of Mumbai police, which is probing Hong Kong-based controversial multi-level marketing (MLM) operator QNet has so far frozen six bank accounts related with the company.
According to a report from the Times of India, these bank accounts have a balance of Rs46 crore. In addition, Manjunath Hegde, arrested in this cheating case, has been sent to judicial custody, the report says.
Hi Manish, If ur relatives has committed something wrong info to u then they r totally wrong as we donot force anyone to do business they must have gone out of the process to get u in.
As ours is the only company who has demanded for a regulator in India for network marketing. So they cant be fraud & we have seen all legal documents & registration docs of the company be it as company or products. I dont know how much we can trust on the articles mentioned on any website & how much authenticated they are? But if I trust a person I trust them completely not conditionally & will always try to understand things with open mind.
I dont understand why people are after genuine networking companies but they are comfortable to accept the policies of politicians who r actual frauds & hampering the health of the country……….Hope u understand the business in the right perspective & from right people to understand it better.
Sudeep
Hi Manish..

It is just talking people into fraud,,,nothing else..hope u get ur money back..

Hi Manish,
Your relative must have been trying to show you the great things which they saw in this buisness. But if you were not comfortable even after seeing the financial model (model great according to me and most of the people) then they could have withdrwan your money. If you have understood all the things and still you dont want to work means either you are not trying to understand this buisness with open mind or you totally went into the dilemma of not doing this buisness. But nothing wrong in that as normally people go into that dilemma for something in life.
As far as QNET is concerned, it is the most reliable and credible company to work with and if done in right way with whole heart then it can get us where we want to be in life, not perticularly in 3-4 years but it can be done in 1 year also and it can be streched to 40 years also. It depends on how passionatly we do it.
At last I want to say that I feel this buisness as the best buisness in the world. The people with whom I am associated are also very nice , passionate and hard working with big dreams. I know that this is going to take me where I want to be….
Hi Aditya,
So I think you have become a millionaire by now. Stop fooling people with your nonsense schemes.
