Just a general awareness post for people across Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Kochi, Mumbai and nearby cities.

There seems to be a major push happening right now by QNet groups to sign up more people ahead of their upcoming “VCON” event happening in Malaysia from June 17–22. Many are reportedly reaching out through old friends, relatives, ex-colleagues, school/college contacts, etc., suddenly saying they’ve “started a business,” found a “great opportunity,” or want to discuss “financial freedom,” “international travel,” or “entrepreneurship.”

Please be cautious before attending any meeting, Zoom call, hotel presentation, or before making any payment. In my opinion, this is purely a scam/pyramid-style recruitment model built around bringing in more people and extracting money through emotional pressure, trust, and false promises of success. A lot of people only realize it after losing money or damaging personal relationships.

If anyone has already paid money recently, there is reportedly a refund window of around 30 days in many cases, so check the policies immediately and act quickly if needed.

Sharing this purely for awareness so fewer people get trapped into something they don’t fully understand. Please spread the word to friends and family.

(P.S. I used AI to help write this properly and avoid grammar mistakes.)

Hyderabad: Claiming that they were lured and cheated by the representatives of QNet, four victims sought the help of Hyderabad's Central Crime Station (CCS) police a few days ago.

In the complaint, a victim who is a resident of Ameerpet said that last year, when she faced the threat of losing her job, she approached her friend Saritha Reddy, seeking her help to give leads on new opportunities.

Explaining how her husband was making quick money through an e-commerce business, Saritha Reddy lured the victim virtually into QNet's alleged ponzi scheme. The victim's confidence was gained by claiming that her husband was doing the e-commerce business as a part-time job but making good earnings.

"The victim's friend's husband called the former to explain the business. To gain her confidence, he described the business as a highly lucrative opportunity in e-commerce business. He also said that Harvard-educated persons, doctors, chartered accountants and several high-profile professionals were associated with this international business," CCS officials said.

Officials said that the accused stated that his senior business partners would visit Hyderabad shortly and promised her to arrange a meeting with them. He asked her to attend in formal attire by carrying a resume.

"The business was purely e-commerce and product-based. Income would be earned through product sales and commissions. We could withdraw within 30 days if unsatisfied. No disclosure was made that it was a multi-level marketing (MLM) scheme. No transparent explanation was given about the products, pricing and other details. The opportunity was described as rare," police said.

"We were added to two Telegram groups — ‘Warriors' and ‘108', and provided with a few books. We were subjected to continuous mental pressure and coercive practices. We were forced to post daily updates in the ‘108' group regarding QNet activities," the victim recalled.

After investing 14 lakh, the victim and her family realised that they were duped and it was an MLM scheme and they were not getting any returns. Based on their complaint, CCS officials registered a case against 10 persons, including QNet.
