COP Lydia Donkor, has officially inaugurated the QNET Compliance Office in Accra. The move marks a strategic collaboration between law enforcement agencies and the international e-commerce company QNET, aimed at curbing the rising cases of fraud, scams, and the misuse of QNET’s name in the country.
The event, held in Accra, signifies a firm commitment by both parties to restore public trust, increase transparency, and create a safe and informed environment for business and entrepreneurship in Ghana.
QNET’s New Compliance Office: A Proactive Approach to Transparency
The newly established QNET Compliance Office in Accra will serve as a dedicated hub to monitor and report cases of misrepresentation, fraud, and unauthorized business dealings conducted in the company’s name. Over the years, there have been growing concerns about individuals falsely representing QNET to scam unsuspecting citizens under the pretext of job offers, investment opportunities, and quick-money schemes.
The presence of the compliance office is a major turning point for QNET in Ghana. By working directly with local authorities, law enforcement, and community leaders, the company hopes to educate the public, identify bad actors, and bring offenders to justice.
COP Lydia Donkor Commits to Curbing Fraud in Ghana
Speaking at the launch, COP Lydia Donkor, the Director General of the CID, praised the initiative and expressed optimism about the impact it would have on the nation’s anti-fraud efforts.
“This office is not just a symbol, but a working force. It shows QNET’s commitment to accountability and ethical business conduct. We are proud to support a system that prioritizes consumer safety and aligns with Ghana’s commitment to fighting crime and restoring confidence in commerce,” COP Donkor emphasized.
She also urged Ghanaians to be vigilant and report any suspicious activities involving misuse of brand names or illegal recruitment schemes, reminding the public that the CID remains committed to protecting citizens from deceptive practices.
Fighting Scam Activities and Protecting the Youth
In recent years, several fraud cases involving the wrongful use of QNET’s brand have surfaced across various regions in Ghana. Unscrupulous individuals often lure job seekers, students, and vulnerable citizens with fake promises of international travel, employment, or quick wealth. These fraudulent schemes have damaged the reputation of legitimate businesses and have led to financial and emotional losses for many.
QNET’s establishment of a compliance desk in Accra is a direct response to these challenges. The company plans to train community watchdogs, launch educational outreach programs, and offer channels for complaint resolution — all designed to clean up the misinformation and reintroduce QNET as a legitimate e-commerce and direct selling brand.
QNET’s Mission in Ghana and West Africa
QNET, which operates globally in over 25 countries, has consistently emphasized its zero-tolerance policy toward unethical practices. Its decision to open a local compliance office shows its long-term commitment to Ghana and the West African region. The office is expected to collaborate with the Ghana Police Service, consumer protection agencies, immigration authorities, and community stakeholders.
Beyond fighting scams, QNET is also focused on empowerment through entrepreneurship, providing individuals with the opportunity to build businesses through legitimate direct selling methods. The company has expressed a desire to invest further in capacity building, financial literacy, and youth employment.
Community Engagement and Public Education
A significant aspect of the new compliance strategy involves engaging with Ghanaian youth, students, and job seekers. QNET plans to host seminars, campus awareness programs, and town hall meetings to educate people about how to identify scams and the official ways to become QNET partners. This initiative is expected to bridge the trust gap between the brand and the general public, especially in regions where previous fraud cases have left lasting negative impressions.

A New Era of Responsible Business in Ghana
The inauguration of the QNET Compliance Office in Accra marks a new chapter in Ghana’s fight against economic fraud and unethical business conduct. With the backing of CID Director General COP Lydia Donkor, this initiative is poised to significantly reduce scam incidents involving the misuse of QNET’s name and to restore public confidence in direct selling and digital entrepreneurship.
As Ghana continues to grow as a hub for commerce and innovation in West Africa, collaborations like this between the private sector and law enforcement remain essential. Together, they can build a safer, more informed, and more empowered society.
