Scammers are getting more creative these days. Have you ever been misled by a website with a domain similar to a verified brand?
If yes, you aren’t alone. QNET Scam news reports claim that not only had some 30% of adults worldwide encountered “phishing scams” in 2022, but that the problem appears to be getting worse and worse.
What are Phishing Scams?
Phishing, in case you don’t already know, is a fraudulent practice used to trick unsuspecting victims into parting with personal information, login credentials, financial data and even money.
This scam commonly involves using email, social media communication, or text messages to distribute malicious links or attachments that, when clicked, extract vital information from individuals.
However, scammers also use various other methods to dupe users, and among the most popular is the setup of fake websites.
According to one statistic, there are over 1.35 million unique phishing scam websites globally. What is especially worrying is that so many of the world’s top brands and organisations, including QNET, have fallen victim to scammers employing this tactic. Is QNET a scam?
QNET Scam News: Only Access Offical and Verified Channels
For the record, QNET’s official website address is https://www.qnet.net/. We have verified Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, and X channels and operate QBuzz, our official blog.
Additionally, we utilise an award-winning app that allows our distributors worldwide to keep track of their progress and stay updated.
It has come to our attention, however, that many people have been misled by several fake websites that closely resemble the official QNET website in appearance and functionality but which are designed to deceive and swindle unsuspecting individuals.
As such, we urge all customers, prospects, and partners to be cautious and alert and always double-check the URLs of domains claiming to be affiliated with QNET. Also, ensure that you verify that the contact details listed on these QNET scam websites match those found on our official channels.
You should also be on the lookout for sites or pages with poor design, grammatical errors, and unrealistic promises of quick returns on investment or guaranteed success.
QNET is one of the world’s leading direct selling companies, with a distinguished 25-year history. We are proud of our success and the achievements of millions of satisfied customers and microentrepreneurs around the globe who have been empowered to take charge of their health, well-being, lifestyles, and livelihoods.
That notwithstanding, we are cognisant of the misinformation and disinformation being spread about direct selling and organisations like QNET. This is why we are always clear about what we do and the QNET business opportunity.
Essentially, all our communication and marketing materials establish that the direct selling business model, which continues to be used by large and small companies, can afford individuals who are satisfied with QNET’s extensive portfolio of offerings the opportunity to market and sell the products and services they prefer, and, in the process, build sales businesses of their own.
We are also always clear that there is no quick and easy money to be made and that the only way to succeed in direct selling is through hard work, commitment, and actual sales of our quality products.
Scammers and unscrupulous fraudsters offer payment for recruiting new members or making substantial investments. Conversely, the QNET compensation plan is designed to pay commissions only on product sales volume.
It Pays to Be Safe
With a presence in more than 25 countries worldwide, QNET has always endeavoured to comply with all local laws and regulations.
We also diligently identify and take down fake websites and collaborate with relevant local and global authorities to ensure that deceptive platforms are removed and that our customers, prospects, and partners are protected.
However, the nature of phishing scams and the proliferation of phishing websites make it impossible to remove all threats. As such, we urge everyone never to share personal information or conduct financial transactions on unauthenticated platforms.
You should also report any suspicious fake QNET websites to QNET immediately, and when in doubt, contact our Global Support Hub at [email protected] or phone customer support at +6015 4600 0328.
