Yes QNET CHEAT PEOPLE .THEY HIDE ALL INFORMATION ABOUT QNET .THEY DON'T SHARED COMPANIE NAME. ONE THING THAT YOU CEATED BY KNOWING PERSON . THEY FIXED MEETING IN Cafe THEY FILLED OUR MIND WITH A BIG AMOUNT. BUT THEY DON'T TELL YOU HOW YOU EARN MONEY. ATTEND A WELCOMBE SESSION. THER THEY SPEEK ABOUT THEIR JOURNEY HOW THEY RESIGNED HIS JOB. NEXT DAY THEY START GROUND TRAINING HOW YOU MAKE YOUR DUPLICATE . Then they explain how start u make money. When you sign up 1or 2 person than you start earn money. It in one week, 1month or 6 months its all depends on you. Don't do anything without your up line. Don't share any thing with another person. I'm face this recently. They sent me a pdf to learn it and followed this process. If you followed this process you definitely fulfil your dream. Person who recommended me I can't do that things to manupamanipulate to my near and known people. I can't fulfil my dreams by this way.

The people who tell Qnet as a scam, please tell me what else have you achieved in your lives????

Hi Please read my story also regarding a similar incident that I came across:
https://readnleadblog.wordpress.com/2019/07/11/e-commerce-marketing-business-scams/

This post is going to be a long one as I will be describing the complete incident in detail but if you want to jump to the summary than you can directly start from the bottom where I have mentioned the incident in bullets. (Please ignore any grammar error as I am not a professional writer).

I generally don’t write much over social media or any kind of blogs, I prefer being a silent reader like many of us. You guys must be wondering then why I am writing here if I am a silent reader?

Well, what brings me here to write my first post is a strange incident that happened with me on 18/06/2019 Tuesday.

Actually, it started three days before that date on Saturday when I got a call from my colleague who has never ever called me before that day.

Before going into details of what happened with me let me tell you something about him.

He is working in the same company with me but in different department, we generally share pleasantries while crossing each other.

This guy has created an impression in the office that he is doing some kind of business along with the job and because of it he is very much affluent and was able to buy a brand new car, a house in his hometown, a new Harley Davidson bike and foreign tours every six months with his family.

He used to often share pictures of all these luxuries over his social media profiles.

Everyone in the office were surprised/jealous with the kind of success this guy has made in just 2 years with a business unknown to most of us.

So coming back to where I left, there was a missed call from him when I checked my phone, I called him back to know as what made him to call me today. He picked up my call before the phone could have finished the first ring.

He asked me as how I am and what are my plans are for the weekend as a casual acquaintance will do over the call. Soon he said that you must be aware of the fact that I am doing the business and that has changed his fortunes completely. He said that he has bought a new car, house, bike etc and all those thing in cash with this business and now he is looking for a partner who can help him to expand this business.

He asked me if I am willing to get into business as there is no personal life in job and savings are very less.

I said to him “YES” why not? If opportunity is there than why not to cash it.

Soon I asked him as a curious person would ask, what is the business you are in? And why do want me to join?

He was silent for a second and dodged the question of what business he is in by saying that he will discuss it with me in detail later on and for Why me, he said that he don’t know but just felt that I can be a perfect partner for this role.

Somehow I was not convinced with both the answers. He continued by saying that he is working with a team of CA, MBA & Engineers in this business and all are very good in their areas. He said that they are going to fill this position for Mumbai very soon and his senior partner is meeting individuals for this position.

He asked me again, are you interested? If yes, then he can schedule a meeting for me as his senior partner will be in the town either on Monday or Tuesday.

I replied by saying yes, but at the back of my mind somehow I was sensing something fishy as he has not yet disclosed the business and has scheduled a meeting already.

Day passed normally and I watched India vs Pakistan world cup match next day without thinking much about the proposed business opportunity which was lying ahead of me.

Monday morning I got a call from him at 8AM in the morning, he said to me that meeting has been finalized for Tuesday at 12:15PM and I must come in formals and if possible before time. I said Ok to him and inquired him about the place where I have to reach?

He said that he will inform me about the place once his partner is in the city and that will depend upon his busy schedule. I said Ok and disconnected the phone.

Next day again in the morning around 8AM I got a call from him, he said that I have to reach at a big mall in Kurla. I agreed to him and reached the destination before the scheduled time.

I called my colleague and told him that I have reached the mall and asked him as where should I come know. He said that he is in a meeting and will call me later and I have to wait for some time at the food court. I was not happy with the kind of response I received from him but I didn’t have any option than to wait as I have come a long way from my home for this meeting.

I waited for almost an hour and was getting pissed off with the kind of cold response I have got from him.

He called me an hour later and told me to come to a café in the same mall.

I reached there in no time and there I saw my colleague sitting alone in corner. We greeted each other by shaking hands and then sat.

I asked about his partner whereabouts and what was he doing before and how long he is into the business?

Again, my colleague dodged all the questions and told me to be calm and be confident and told me to ask all the questions from his senior partner.

He added by saying that ever since he has met this man his life has changed completely, he is like a fatherly figure to him now and he has really helped him to come out of his miserable life that he was living two years ago. He boasted about him by saying that he was working with an MNC at AGM position with a handsome salary but he left his job to get into this business and now you see he is driving an audi, wearing rolex watch, and is having his own 3 BHK flat in Mumbai.

I was impressed and at the same time I was really getting pissed off after waiting for almost an hour at the food court and now he is not even ready to answer the basic question “What is the Business”?

Few minutes passed and his senior partner came we both stood up to greet him, he greeted back and we all sat.

So he straight away looked at me and shot his set of questions before I could have spoken anything.

He started with this general one liner question “Tell me something about you”? I answered his question giving the details about myself, what I do, my family background etc. Then his next question was why do you want to get into the business line? You are doing well in your job then what brings you here? I answered by saying that I have certain ambitions in life which I believe will not be possible with this 9 to 5 Job plus if you are in business than sky is the limit.

He then started talking about his journey into the business by stating that he was also like me working day in night out for a company. He has worked with top companies in India but somewhere deep inside he was not satisfied. He then while working saw one of his friend getting fired from the company for no reason and that’s what infused the fire in him of doing something of his own. He started working part-time for his business dream and then slowly when earnings increased he left his job.

He said when I looked at my boss, he was driving a Mercedes given by company, a designation of VP given by company but when he retires nothing will remain with him and all his hard work will be gone, his children can’t have that same designation while he is leaving they have to create their own, they have to start everything again from zero.

He shot another question on me, how much do you earn? I was taken back from that sudden question but I answered reluctantly. He smiled and said do you know there is a tea vendor near Ghatkopar station who sells “Malai chai” for Rs10. What do you think his earnings would be? I said I don’t know. He gave his rough calculations stating that he went there with his friend there one fine day, they sat there for one hour, almost 40 cups were sold within that one hour, if he is doing that business for 12 hours a day he will be selling almost 480-500 cups in one day. Cost per cup for tea would be 2 rupee so margin will be around Rs 8 per cup so in all he will be earning Rs 4000 by selling tea. Now he was not just selling tea he was selling toast,bun,poha along with selling tea, if I calculate those margins also than his daily earning would be Rs 10,000 per day. Now just compare your earnings with a tea sellers earning who is more financially sound?

I was taken back with those numbers. He said no business is small only mistake people make is not having the courage of starting the business. Only few who step out and are willing to change their life become successful.

I nodded with a yes in my eye. I asked him as what business are you doing he smiled and said that there is not just one business but there are many. They are into healthcare, lifestyle, travel and leisure, online retail etc business. He further explained that they are no salesman but are working for a conglomerate of the companies bringing customers on a platform from where they can buy product just like amazon and flipkart. He said his target is to get atleast 100,000 loyal customers through marketing who can regularly buy product from that platform and he will make 10-12% of the total value that customer buys.

We are into E-commerce business, now you understood..SIMPLE.. he said with a SMILE.

Somehow I believed in whatever he was saying but in next 10 min I was again taken back with what he asked for!

He asked me, you have been working from last four years how much money you might have saved? An there was a pause between both of us, I was wondering whether he is just saying it to show how poor a salaried person can be or he is actually asking me how much money I have saved. I roughly said few lakhs. He smiled and then said in which bank account do you hold account? Deep down I was feeling uncomfortable with his such personal questions, reluctantly I told him the name of the bank.

He did some calculations in his mind and told me YOU NEED TO INVEST 12 LAKHS if you want to enter into this business.

I said “WHAT”? Yes he said and told my colleague that if he is able to arrange 12 Lakhs by next week and is serious about the business than we will have the second round of the meeting where we will discuss the strategic part of the business but before that he needs send a screenshot as a proof that funds are in his account. By now I was pretty much sure that it’s a scam in which they are trying to pull me in. Somehow in my mind I was cursing myself as why the hell I came here trusting my colleague’s words as there is no easy way to money, even business needs time and efforts and which happens rarely within the span of two years. I wanted to leave immediately but I don’t know why I decided to stay and listen him out completely.

The so called senior partner was done by now and he left sharing final pleasantries.

I looked at my colleague straight into eyes but he was constantly looking away from me. I told him that I don’t have that much money. Now he looked at me and said even a guy like him can arrange for money within 7 days than for sure I can arrange money. I instantly asked HOW? He said take personal loan, these days it’s easily available and funds gets credited within 3-4 working days in the account.

I was SURPURISED with what he said. Not because funds get credited so easily but he wanted me to fall into this trap.

So much have happened in those 3 hours, from the high aspirations of getting into the business to standing there like a fool.

I left the place, my colleague decided to stay back as he said that he has one more meeting line up with one of his client.

I walked away and stayed in a corner of the floor positioning myself in a way that no one can look at me and I can see actually who is his next client?

I waited there for 7-10 minutes waiting for the person who is going to meet him, back of my mind I knew the answer. And here we go after waiting for another 5 minutes his senior partner steps in again in the same café. I was so freaking right, shouted my mind. It was a strange feeling going throughout me.

One can’t even trust his/her known acquaintances. I have never done any wrong to him than why the hell he was doing this to me? All these questions were pumping into my mind while I was heading towards my office.

I was not able to concentrate that day.I logged into my computer and opened google. I typed “E-commerce marketing scams”.

The first page I found was related to MLM marketing scam with a company name “Q-NET”. What on earth is Qnet now, before today I have never ever heard about that company.

I started reading the thread of comments from various victims of this kind of fraud. It was the same story line that I have mentioned above happened with these victims also which follows as below:

Sudden call from an old friend/colleague
Showing business opportunities with huge scope
Meeting with his/her senior partner generally at a café or a lounge.
Telling you all the negative things about jobs
Portraying big pictures about big businessmen of the country
Giving all the false promises that you will earn crores in next 3 years
Asking you to invest money anything between 1-15 lakhs
Deposit that money into friends account or some unknown account which they call as companies account.
Asking you to read the literature which they use as a trick so that refund time is lost( Please note that Qnet is a genuine company but these people who represent them are frauds)
Guys please note here that there is a refund criteria also and only if you are lucky enough to understand this fraud before passing of one month. Although you have to follow up with Qnet on daily basis to initiate your refund process.

When I finished reading most of the threads available online with all the youtube videos I was very scared with the thought that what is wrong with people these days.

Next day, I got a call from my colleague, he said that his senior partner wants to talk to me and he put the call on conference call. His partner told me that I am selected from their side and asked whether I will be interested to join? With a gritty smile on my face I responded with “NOT INTERESTED” and disconnected the call.

I wanted to expose this incident but somewhere I felt that I should not do this and rather I should pen it down so that more awareness is spread among people and they can save themselves from being victim of such frauds.

If you have also witnessed such incident or have been the victim of this fraud you can write to me at [email protected] or you can drop me your phone number. I will be very happy to share my views and help you out.

Vihaan Direct Selling (India) Private Ltd hold all its equity capital
I have been trapped by one college freind Amit Keyal ,from Calcutta University, who had once been a good friend and kind of a guide as well. I trusted him since college and respected him as I thought him to be a simple good man. But I am so mistaken as I released last year when he forced (by lying and showing confidence in him saying he is always there) me to pay him almost 2 Lakhs (I took a loan to give him that money) which he said he would give me back if I am not able to continue the so called e-commerce business (Qnet). Nothing was explained before the payment was made. all details about how the company works and what do i have to do are told after I was already trapped and had no other way but to follow what they say. They ask you to make friends and tell them that I m into a mind blowing business and henceforth trap the victim. I chose not to cheat people. My money is lost because since then I have called and messaged that so called businessman (traitor) numerous times but in vain and now after an year I have almost lost all hope of getting back my money .
But I m happy that I didn't turn into one of those kinds going around cheating my own friends and family.
There are many people making a lot of money out of this totally fraud MLM company. There are other MLM companies as well but they are ethical as they agree to that fact and reveal what a member has to do before trapping someone.

The motto of the company ‘sell more, earn more’ appears very attractive and innocuous. However, this motto is fully camouflaged. The company stands on a basic statement that people can be fooled. Thus, the true motto is ‘sell more earn more’ by fooling people. In fact it is a chain where a person is fooled and then he is trained to fool others to earn money. For that purpose, workshops are conducted where study and business material is provided with a jugglery of words, promises and dreams. Thus, the deceit and fraud is camouflaged under the name of e-­marketing and business.https://www.webactivism.com/qnet-investigation-scams-fraud-fraudulent-attempts-cover-tracks/

Deputy commissioner of police (CCS) Avinash Mohanty said Sreenath Konda, Prasanna Kumar Reddy, V Kanchana, B Dhan Raj were arrested from different locations in the city for cheating people.


Police said the accused had been enrolling gullible people as agents by collecting Rs 10 lakh from a group of 10 persons.

NewsAmbit, New Delhi
Delhi Police Economic Offence Wing(EOW) has registered an FIR against QNET India/Vihaan Direct selling India Private Limited and its three independent representatives on the allegations of cheating and fraudulently operating the multi level marketing, which is illegal in India. Police have initiated the investigation and suspecting huge scam, which is estimated in crores.
A senior Police officer of EOW said that we received a combined complaint against QNET India and its three independent representatives from more than dozen of people in the month of March this year. As per the allegations of main complainant Anuj Jain alleged that his friend Himashu Aggarwal approached him for an business opportunity. He said that he is an independent representative(IR) of an e-commerce based company. He said that he can arrange an meeting with the other IR’s who will tell you about the business and if they find you suitable you will get chance to be a part of the company. After few days Himanshu called Anuj Jain to come with a CV at a café situated in Nehru Place area on 29 November 2015. Anuj reached there, where he met with Himanshu and his to associates Anita Jaggi and Kanika. Trio told him about the business profile and also assured that this is not a networking marketing company. They demanded Rs 6.5 lakh to be a member of the company. They also said that company has millions of customers. IR of the company is treated as a partner and also got the profit share for each sale. After three four days Anuj gave them 6.5 lakh rupees but after some time he got to know that this is a multi level marketing company and fraudulently cheating innocent persons by roping them in it’s banned business with the help of IRs.
Police said that Anuj is not the only complainant so many more complainants also approached to EOW. After which a preliminary enquiry had conducted. It was found that some persons who are termed as IR contact their friends and close persons to join a new e-commerce business. They don’t tell the name of the company or complete business module at the beginning. After alluring them they set various amounts from the victim. Independent Representatives(IR) get training during the joining and talk to make further members. These kinds of IRs of the company are operated from different cafes and food courts situated in Delhi and NCR.
Those who join the company get user id etc and products like ravel packages, some other items etc are shown purchase from their money.

Hello Everyone

The company Qnet is celebrating VCon from 3-7 May. As a present,yesterday late night, I posted lot of comments on numerous pics uploaded on Instagram. I also posted on VChief Pathmans account. Unfortunately, they kept deleting my posts and had to ultimately block me. If each one of us, Indians, takes to instagram and starts posting messages like me, then they would have to either block us or abandon their account, which is their money making tool. You can start with Qnetofficial,TheV, Pathmans account, etc with phrases like Pyramid Scheme, Qnetscam, Franchise Fraud, Police arrests, court cases,Cheating, etc. They cannot stop us if we all work as one unit.

Hope we all teach them a lesson and save other fellow Indians.

Jai Hind

CM Devendra Fadnavis has assured detailed inquiry into QNet: BJP
Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis has promised to make a detailed inquiry of the alleged irregularities by the QNet multilevel marketing company and take action against the offenders, said BJP spokesperson Madhav Bhandari on Saturday. Former union minister P. Chidambaram’s wife was a legal counsellor with the company.

The QNet company, which was earlier known as Goldquest, has cheated 12 lakh people to the tune of thousands of crores of rupees. The court has rejected anticipatory bail to the accused in this case. When the CM was contacted about this, he promised to make a detailed inquiry and take action. If necessary, he said that the CBI’s help would also be taken, said Mr Bhandari.

The party spokesperson demanded that the role of former Union minister P. Chidambaram and his wife needs to be probed in this case. “Mr Chidambaram’s wife was a legal counsellor of the concerned company. Taking note of complaint registered by a lawyer from Chennai, the Central Vigilance Department handed over the case to the CBI. The complaint also has a mention of former Union minister Shashi Tharoor. However, the CBI did not investigate the matter during the tenure of Congress government at the Centre,” he alleged.

In Maharashtra, the wife of Gurpreet Singh Anand had in 2013 filed a complaint of fraud against the company. However, there was not much inquiry during the Congress-NCP regime. But since the court has denied anticipatory bail to other accused, including sportsman Michael Ferreira, the investigation can be expedited. Many sensational things are expected to come out in the investigation as the CM has promised to carry out a detailed probe in the case, said Mr Bhandari.

A group of investors in the QNet multi-level market case on Sunday gathered near Holy Family Church and marched as a protest and public awarness against ponzi schemes. The protesetors reached at the house of accused Padma Bhushan Michael feriera in the QNet cheating case. The protesters were holding placards that read, Michel Ferriera Shame Shame! and Ban QNet".

"We chose Bandra for protest since most of the accused in this scam reside here. We had informed the police in advance and stated that the peaceful march will be for awareness about such fraud schemes and protest against such ponzi schemes," said Gurpreet Singh Anand, the first complainant in the QNet cheating case. He added that thgough it was his birthday but he did not spend time at home and was busy in the awareness drive.
Similar protests were held in New Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad on Sunday. Last month a special MPIDA court rejected the anticipatory bail plea of Michael Ferreira, winner of the World Amateur Billiards Championship and a Padma Bhushan recipient, and four others in the QNet case. They have approached the Bombay High Court for anticipatory bail. Ferreira, 77, and others had applied for anticipatory bail in 2014.

The economic offences wing of Mumbai police, probing the multicrore Qnet scam, has issued notices to Indian Super League (ISL) officials to gather details about taking sponsorship from the tainted company.
Qnet had made celebratory association as the official direct selling partner of Goa Football Club (FC Goa) throughout the Indian Super League 2015 season, from October to December. FC Goa is a part of the ISL football league tournament. Sources said the police are trying to find out the how the proceeds of crime of a company under serious investigation, have been used to sponsor the team. Police are also baffled as how the Qnet managed to generate money when its accounts have been seized. "We have sum moned ISL officials to understand the amount and flow of money in their sponsorship from the Qnet company which had defrauded several investors," said an official.

The fight against the Qnet scam wheré more than 7000 crores of rupees has been laundered out to foreign shores from India has just got bigger.

The Saradha Scam which started mainly in Bengal looks relatively smaller compared to the Qnet scam which had defrauded people across various cities like Mumbai,Delhi,Bangalore,Hyderabad etc for over a period of 10 years.

To unite and protest against this MLM scam plaguing India, all victims,activists, are requested that they gather outside Holy Family church,Hill Road,Bandra West at 10.30 A.M. tomorrow 24th April,2016.

Various press and media agencies will be present to cover the event meet and address grievances to authorities.

The current government has taken note of the Qnet scam and matter will be taken up at upcoming Parliament session.

All Indians are cordially invited to support the cause and join in the protest. We need to end the scam by spreading awareness and recover the money taken away by the scamsters.

A request to all to please forward this message on Facebook, twitter and WhatsApp groups... Jai Hind

The special court has rejected anticipatory bail applications of two directors of Vihaan, Suresh Thimiri of Transview as well as Malcolm Desai and Michael Ferreira, the stakeholders of Vihaan that handles QNet's MLM operations in India

The special Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors (MPID) Court on Tuesday rejected anticipatory bail applications of five accused in the multi-crore QNet scam. This includes, Srinivas Rao Vanka and Magaral Veervalli Balaji, both directors of Vihaan Direct selling (India) Pvt Ltd, Suresh Thimiri, director of Transview Enterprises India Pvt Ltd, Malcolm Nozer Desai, who is 20% stakeholder in Vihaan and Michael Joseph Ferreira, former world champion of billiards and 80% stakeholder in Vihaan.
The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Mumbai Police, which is probing the case, had invoked the stringent MPID Act against controversial multi-level marketing (MLM) company QNet, which has denied any wrongdoing on its part.

Transview Enterprises is an associate company of Vihaan Direct Selling Pvt Ltd that handles QNet's multi-level marketing (MLM) operations in India since 14 April 2012. Vihaan Direct Selling, in which Michael Ferreira, the former world billiards champion, owns 80% stake, is a direct selling agent of QNet and had done large financial transactions with Thimiri's company Transview.

The EOW had booked several accused including the former world champion of billiards and five companies related with QNet, under the MPID Act. This means all the cases against QNet, Vihaan and all those involved in the MLM scam would be heard before the special MPID Court. Until now, the accused were being investigated for cheating and forgery under the Prize, Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act 1978, and for money laundering by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

In February 2014, the ED registered a case under the prevention of money laundering act (PMLA) against QNet, Vihaan Direct Selling, Ferreira and QNet founder Vijay Eswaran and three other independent representatives (IRs) of the MLM operator.
Gurupreet Singh Anand, a computer consultant from Lokhandawala, Andheri in his first information report (FIR) stated that his wife was duped for Rs30,000 by some people who had introduced themselves as the independent representatives (IRs) of QNet. Anand told the police, “They (IRs) had said that one of the bio-products my wife bought could be used to treat my 12-year-old son's brain-related diseases.”

MUMBAI: Investors who lost their money in major scams and multi-level marketing's cheating cases can heave a sigh of relief now. The state government has appointed 49 new competent authorities (CAs) to take decision in as many as 101 cases regisered under the strinent law, The Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors (MPID) Act. This will help to dispose of as much as Rs 10,000 crore of investors that is stuck in over a hundred cheating cases' legal battle.

Earlier, the city economic offences wing (EOW) had only two competent authorities. "CAs will proceed with the procedure of disposal of properties and realisation of money for repayment to the investors. It will expedite the process of recovery and will help the victims who have been cheated to get their money back," said Dhananajay Kamalamakr, joint commissioner of police and EOW chief.

The big cases where these CAs will focus first include the cheating cases incluidng National Spot Exchange Limited (NSEL), QNet, SpeakAsia, fixed deposit scam led by Sheesha lounge owner Mohammed Fasih and the Mumbai District Cooperative Bank. SpeakAsia alone has over 24 lakh investors. The money lost in this case is over Rs 2,276 crore while investors' over Rs 6,000 crore is stuck in the NSEL case.
TOI had on October 11, 2015 reported about that as many as 62 cases under the MPID act were pending in a city court due to non-appointment of a competent authority. While seized properties of the accused in all the above cases await disbursement among the victims, the city police has sent a proposal to the state for several amendments including the appointment of CA for a speedy return of public money, said police sources. More than Rs 10,000 crore public money is stuck in MPID cases in the city alone, they said.

"Earlier, non-appointment of competent authority defeated the objective of the enactment of the MPID Act," said an EOW officer. While an investigating officer probes the criminal part of a case, the civil aspects such as the attachment of properties, sale-realization of properties, and disbursement of sale proceeds to the victims are exclusively in the domain of the competent authority who is a revenue officer of deputy collector rank.

"It is observed that competent authority has been appointed in 23 cases in the city MPID cases earlier, notification of the properties in the official gazette is yet to be published. Hence, it would be better to have CAs with independent portfolio for MPID cases," said a senior IPS officer.

Major cases where the appointment of competent authority will give relief to investors:

· NSEL Rs 6,000 crore
· SpeakAsia Rs 2,276 crore
· QNet Rs 425 crore
· FD scam Rs 325 crore
· Mumbai District Cooperative Bank Rs 119 crore

VIJAYAWADA: Yet another multi-level marketing (MLM) company Vihaan Direct Selling Ltd was sealed by police and its representatives were paraded before mediapersons here on Tuesday. Police will soon serve a notice on its promoters -- Vasudeva Reddy and Ch Gangadhar - who are currently in Dubai and alert the Interpol to help nab the duo.

Addressing a press conference here on Tuesday, commissioner of police A B Venkateswara Rao said that 134 people in the city have fallen prey to the company. "Vihaan Direct collected Rs 1.16 crore and deposited Rs 65 lakh in the account of Vihaan Direct Selling Ltd, which is based in Mumbai. Another Rs 10 lakh was deposited in the account of VR 1 Training Centre, which is based in Bangalore. Rest of the funds have been misappropriated," he said.

Acting on a complaint from a depositor Prathipathi Lakshmi Ganesh, Krishna Lanka police led by circle inspector S V V S Murthy arrested four representatives of the firm- Gourang Desai, Y Babul Reddy, D Nagaraju and Ch Manikanta -- on June 22 and recovered Rs 15 lakh in cash and four mobile phones.

It was on January 5 this year Mumbai-based Vasudeva Reddy, a notorious MLM agent, opened Vihaan Direct as a franchise of Hong Kong-based Q-Net near Prasanthi Hospital in Labbipet. He also ran a training centre called VR 1. City-lad Desai, who met Vasudeva in Mumbai, was nominated as in-charge of the training centre. Gangadhar, a close aide of Vasudava, was nominated to run the direct selling firm.

Gangadhar recruited Babul, Nagaraju and Manikanta as independent representatives (IRs) to carry out the fraudulent MLM operations. Their modus operandi was typical of a binary tree structure- each IR has to recruit more members. IRs will receive commission based on the number of referrals and sales volume of other IRs in their team.

The police commissioner said that Vijay Eswaran, who runs Q-Net, is the brain behind the MLM firms. "From 2002-08, he ran a firm in Chennai that swindled Rs 1,100 crore. Between 2010-14, he ran another MLM firm with Vasudeva Reddy, which swindled Rs 425 crore from depositors," he added.

QNET multi-level marketing scam busted in Vijayawada - Tv9

https://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Plsdlh0FBkU

http://www.business-standard.com/article...
Four persons have been held today for their alleged involvement in the multi-level marketing 'Qnet' case, police said.

The four persons, identified as V Bal Reddy, Gautam Desai, Dasari Nagaraju and Cheemakurti Manikanta, were arrested today and Rs 15 lakh, deposited in different bank accounts, were seized from them, district Police Commissioner A

B Venkateswara Rao said.

The accused were nabbed by Economic Offences wing of the Commissionarate and the key person involved in the alleged fraud, Gangadhar from Vijayawada, is absconding and is currently said to be in Dubai, the senior officer said.

The five persons were associated with multi-level international marketing firm Qnet, a company founded by one Vijay Eswaran, a Malaysian citizen based in Hong Kong, in 1998, where the company agents extracted huge money from people by offering them lucrative incentives, he said.

The company also operated in India with other names like 'Qen' and 'Quest, police said.

Eswaran had appointed one Vihan Direct Selling, owned by Gangadhar, as the sole selling company in India, where the firm had assigned some agents to recruit salesmen under the direct selling system.

According to police, the agents had appointed 134 first level salesmen by collecting Rs 1,16,55,000 and another 13,400 second level salesmen were joined by the 134 sales persons.

In the meantime, one of the salesmen suspected company's activities and lodged a complaint with the police and the four accused were arrested after investigations.

Rao said if necessary, a red corner notice will be issued against Gangadhar.

He said Qnet is facing many charges in the country and some of the cases against the company are pending in courts.

A decade back, the company was involved in a Rs 11 crore case of alleged fraud in Chennai. It has also been facing some cases in Mumbai, the officer said.

http://www.business-standard.com/article...

A Mumbai resident today approached the Economic Offences Wing of police seeking inquiry into QNet, a multi-level marketing company facing allegations of duping investors, being one of the sponsors of onoging International Indian Film Academy Awards, 2015.

The EOW of Mumbai police is probing the Hong Kong-based Qnet for an alleged Rs 425-crore fraud.

Gurpreet Singh Anand, who is one of the original complainants against the firm, contends in the fresh complaint that the "purpose of sponsoring IIFA awards is to further the Qnet scam in India and create an image that it is a respectable brand".

IIFA website lists Qnet as one of the 'official direct selling partners'.

While Singh has demanded probe into "why they (organisers) have appointed this company as sponsor", IIFA officials were unavailable for comment. Its legal cell informed PTI that senior officials were busy in Malaysia where the awards ceremony is taking place.

The EOW has so far arrested 17 persons for allegedly duping investors by selling Qnet products including magnetic disks, herbal products and holiday schemes through allegedly fraudulent means.

It has been accused of using the banned 'binary pyramid business model', and a case has been registered under the Prize, Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, 1978.

Lets spread it friends

http://www.business-standard.com/article...

Two top representatives of QNet, a Hong Kong-based multi-level marketing company allegedly involved in a Rs 425-crore fraud here, were arrested today after being picked up from Delhi international airport, police said.

The controversial company's senior independent representatives, identified as Sandeep Kalra and Hitesh Miglani, were intercepted by immigration authorities at the Indira Gandhi International Airport at Delhi last night, said an officer with Mumbai Police Economic Offence Wing (EOW).

The duo, who arrived from Dubai in separate flights, was stopped at the airport as Look Out Circulars (LOC) were issued against them by the EOW probing the case.

The two suspects, who were suspected to have had pocketed lakhs of rupees through the scheme and organised several training camps to lure investors, have been subsequently brought to the metropolis and placed under arrest this evening, police said.

The LOCs have been issued against those whose statements have been necessitated in the probe but did not appear before the investigators despite summons.

Kalra hails from Delhi while Miglani is from Bangalore, police said adding that this is the first arrest of those against whom LOCs had been issued.

The EOW had earlier arrested 15 persons for allegedly duping investors by selling QNet products, including magnetic disks, herbal products and holiday schemes, through allegedly fraudulent means.

The EOW has invoked the stringent Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors (MPID) against the company which has denied any wrongdoing on its part.

QNet has also been accused of using the banned binary pyramid business model. An FIR in the case was registered in August in 2013.

The accused had been charged with cheating and forgery under relevant sections of the Prize, Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, 1978.

Are you trying to be ignorant on purpose!!!!???? Go watch the barclays premier league where you will happily see qnet flourish under the manchester city football team millionaires. I guess you now think football is a scam? Don't worry, I too used to misjudge things I couldn't understand. It's not your fault your thoughts are average.

With the arrest of Susan Nikhil Chatterjee, former wife of Mark Ferreira, the focus of the investigators is now back again on the family of former world billion champion Michael Ferreira. The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Mumbai police last week arrested Susan in the Rs425 crore QNet scam.

3. Abad Ponda
4. Haresh Mohan Jagtiani
5. Divya Bahl
6. Rajendra Mokashi

All these are senior advocates with teams of juniors below them but till date QNET did not get any single favorable order from any court.

The FIGHT enters a “new phase” now….Ganpati Bappa Morya :)

QNet accused submitted fake papers to procure anticipatory bail: Police

MUMBAI: Around half a dozen accused in the Rs 425 crore QNet cheating case submitted fake documents before the court for procuring anticipatory bail, Pradip Gharat, special public prosecutor told the court. Later, a police officer filed an affidavit before the court that the statement and the signatures of him were actually bogus and that he was never involved in the investigation of this case at the initial stage.

First Payouts Approved For Zeek Reward Victims
HIGH POINT, N.C.-- A federal judge has approved the first payouts for victims of the Zeek Rewards pyramid scheme. The High Point Enterprise reported that the attorney supervising efforts to return members to the victims said a judge on Thursday approved the payments.

Kenneth Bell said the first payments should be handed out late next month. Bell indicated earlier this year that the first payments could be for about 40 percent of what victims lost in the scheme. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission shut down and seized the assets of Zeek Rewards in August 2012.

Bell estimates that from January 2011 until August 2012, more than 700,000 people lost more than $700 million. Zeek Rewards had said it was a multi-level marketing business operating in Lexington.

100 pull out of Chinese millionaire's MLM scheme in Malaysia

Major Chinese dailies reported that more than 100 people had cancelled their membership in the controversial multi-level marketing scheme YSLM, established by self-proclaimed Chinese millionaire Zhang Jian.

They were required to sign a letter which stated that their reason for quitting was due to the impact from a Facebook page calling on netizens to combat pyramid schemes, and that they were grateful to Zhang Jian for allowing them to terminate their membership unconditionally.

On Wednesday, the company announced that members who had failed to introduce new members to the company were entitled to a full refund of RM300 (S$115) if they quit the scheme.

Zhang made headlines recently when giant billboards of him appeared in Penang proclaiming him as the "future richest man in the world".

'World's richest man' offers refunds to MLM investors

KUALA LUMPUR: Members of a controversial multi-level marketing business started by self-proclaimed Chinese millionaire Zhang Jian are entitled to a refund if they quit the scheme, said senior distributor Jessy Lai.

“They have until Aug 14 to cancel the membership,” she said.

“Just bring your identity card, let us take your picture and a video clip stating the reasons you wish to quit, and we will give you the refund on the spot,” Lai told a press conference yesterday.

However, she said the refund would only be given to those who had not introduced any new member to the group.

Zhang made the news recently when billboards of him appeared in Penang, proclaiming himself as the “future richest man in the world”.

Subsequently, reports emerged accusing his company, known as YSLM, of being linked to a get-rich-quick scam.

YSLM has refuted all the allegations, stressing that it was a legal business.

Yesterday, Lai also refuted media reports that at least 100 people had turned up at the company’s office here to cancel their membership since news about the refund offer was circulated on the Internet before the official announcement.

“We have not received any applications as of now,” she said.

She stressed that the refund process could only be done at the office.

On the whereabouts of YSLM founder, Lai said he had been travelling in and out of the country, exploring overseas markets.

Asked whether Zhang would show up to explain his business, Lai said he would appear for official matters and not just to answer accusations against him.

She also explained why the refund would not be offered to those who had introduced other people to the scheme.

Those who had brought in two members would have received a commission of RM300 – equivalent to the membership fee.

Thus, no money would be returned to them, she said.

Illegality in MLMs and recommendations for law enforcement
An open letter from MLM expert Robert L FitzPatrick of Pyramid Scheme Alert to the US FTC exposes illegality of multi-level marketing (MLM) schemes and how law enforcement agencies can curb it. The same applies for India where thousands of pyramid or network marketing schemes are duping gullible savers everyday and also lobbying for legitimacy

In an 'open letter' to the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC), pyramid scheme expert Robert L FitzPatrick, co-author of the book, 'False Profits', president of Pyramid Scheme Alert and co-founder of the International Coalition of Consumer Advocates, has provided a set of recommendations to the FTC on how to identify illegal multi-level marketing (MLM) schemes and to enforce consumer protection laws on pyramids disguised as 'direct selling'. The paper was sent following a conference call with officials of the FTC Consumer Protection Bureau in which an invitation for suggestions and recommendations was made by FTC officials.

The FTC recently prosecuted one of the larger MLMs, Fortune High Tech Marketing, but only after it had scammed more than 300,000 households and operated openly for nearly 12 years. Currently, the FTC is investigating one of the largest of all MLMs, Herbalife that has operated for more than 30 years.

Bright Lines of Illegality:

The paper submitted by FitzPatrick, entitled, Identifying 'Bright Lines' for Determining Illegality of Any Multi-Level Marketing Company under Section 5 of the FTC Act, lists telltale signs of illegality (unfair and deceptive trade practices):

1. Endless Chain Structure - The sales management chain has no sector of sales people that is focused directly and only on end-users. The sales chain expansion is without limit and without geographic restriction. All new participants, upon payment, are awarded the right and offered financial incentives to recruit more salespeople and extend the chain to multiple levels, usually six to infinity. This reward plan and structure indicate the use of the inherently deceptive“endless chain”, infinity factor” and “unlimited” income claim to induce purchases and fees.

2. Pay-to-Play – Despite providing no territorial protection or even historical saturation data provided to new salespeople, sales/ purchase quotas are imposed with specific dollar volumes of product purchases (either by the distributor personally or his/her recruitment chain). In some cases, there are structural recruiting requirements also imposed in order to maintain a position in the endless chain payment plan. These volume and recruiting quotas are signs of “pay-to-play” factors that operate in tandem with an endless chain structure and recruiting-based rewards to drive purchases and fee payments.

3. Money Transfer - The MLM employs a reward formula that overwhelmingly rewards chain extension activity that is recruiting-based over personal retail sales activity that is market-based. Evidence includes formulas that allocate higher aggregate rewards, per transaction, to those at the upper end of the chain, over those at the base and allocate total commission payout to recruiters in excess of total verified retail profits. Special bonuses and rates on total “group” volume are based on position on the endless chain. They money transfer formulas directly result in an extreme concentration of payments – 50% to 80% – of total payouts to those at the extreme upper end of the recruiting chain. As an example, the report referenced hard data on Nu Skin’s payment of 82% of all its commissions to the top 1.29% of its “active” sales force, which is 0.5% of the entire sales network.

4. Recruitment-Driven - The actual activity of the business is characterised by relentless recruiting, churning and transferring funds from later participants to earlier ones.

5. Little Evidence of Market-based Retail Selling - Little evidence, gained from an examination of marketing materials, website, and reports from participants or researchers, of market-based retail sales, per salesperson, and little evidence of retail profit gains among the sales force.

6. No Income Opportunity for Nearly All Participants - Large-scale losses are evident in the sales force, even among those in the upper one-third of sales chain.

Law Enforcement Guidelines
For law enforcement, the report offered specific reforms that would put any MLM on the legal side.

1. Limit the number of levels that any individual salesperson can personally recruit and gain override commissions to one or several. In combination with other reforms, this measure would eliminate the infinity factor.

2. Require that commissions be awarded only on consummated retail sales, that is to persons who are not signers of the company’s sales contract and are not eligible for recruiting-based rewards.

3. Allow no commissions to be paid on any purchases made by other salespeople or on the salesperson’s own account. This reform eliminates a major incentive for recruiting and for making personal purchases. It would also clearly indicate that all purchases made by the sales force are market-based.

4. Eliminate all purchase/ sales volume or recruiting requirements in order to maintain sales and recruiting authorization. With no geographic limitations or protections placed on MLM salespeople, and no information available on market saturation factors, volume and recruiting requirements serve no other purpose than as recruiting inducements.

5. Establish limited territories for distributors who want to develop sales teams with authorisation based upon management selection. The current practice of open-ended, even global territories and escalation on the sales chain being based purely on volume/ recruiting performance is a telltale indicator of the “endless chain” inducement and the lack of a real-world market basis for sales.

Principles of FTC Law Enforcement and Consumer Protection from Illegal MLMs

1. The establishment of an understandable and consistent “bright line” requires that the FTC take a clearly stated legal stand against the groundless and nonsensical claim of MLM promoters that purchasing products by the participants in multi-level marketing exempts the enterprise from an illegal pyramid definition. The bogus identity of “direct selling” by pyramid selling schemes and the claim of exemption from a pyramid scheme definition based on product purchases have confused and misled millions of consumers (“If the MLM sells a product, it’s can’t be a pyramid!”).

MLM lobbyists have claimed that pyramid scheme definitions must exempt enterprises in which rewards are gained through product sales “to participants.” They have lobbied for this “product exemption” in state laws and tried to get a federal law passed in 2003. In fact, in case after case of MLMs prosecuted by the FTC, the selling products was the disguise of choice, and “direct selling” turned out to be a false identity.

2. FTC must establish and publish a set of recognizable actors indicative of the use of the endless chain as a marketing device, once the endless structure is identified as part of that MLM’s business model.

The evidence of the use of endless chain marketing to induce purchases and fee payments is found in the MLM’s pay formula and in the statement of policies and procedures, both of which are generally published.

Additional evidence can be found in income disclosure documents, website, webinars and in SEC filings.

Evidence of the use of the endless chain is manifested in verifiable loss and churn rates and absence of profitable retail selling. Referencing these classic elements of a pyramid disguised as a sales company can be done in a matter of hours or days. Pyramid fraud is frequently in plain sight.

Mandate for Action Now

By offering bright lines and recommendations for law enforcement, the “Open Letter” supports the message of urgency that the International Coalition of Consumer Advocates delivered to the FTC in October, 2013 with it White Paper and petitions.

Currently, the FTC lacks a consistent or understandable standard for determining illegality of any MLM, rendering effective FTC prosecution and law enforcement in MLM sector essentially impossible and, indeed, virtually non-existent.

By any standard, this position for a law enforcement agency is intolerable. It leaves millions of people in America and around the world without any means of distinguishing legitimate direct selling opportunities from pyramid swindles. In recent years, these schemes have begun targeting the most vulnerable sectors of the public, students and immigrants. The FTC’s untenable position has also generated a dangerous uncertainty in the securities markets, putting pension funds at risk that are invested in MLM enterprises that are being openly challenged for operating illegally.

The scenario in India

Coming back to home, Moneylife has been continuously writing about the inaction by government and regulators regarding MLM companies, money circulation schemes, pyramid-marketing schemes and other similar companies that swindle the unwary public by offering them misleading inducements and depriving them of their hard-earned savings.

In April 2013, after the collapse of Saradha group, the ministry of corporate affairs (MCA) in a face saving measure has decided to hand over probe of such chit-fund, MLM, Ponzi and pyramid scheme operators to a Special Task Force under the Serious Fraud Investigations Office (SFIO). The ministry said the probe has been ordered in view of a larger public interest involved in the issues, although the state governments are the appropriate authorities for regulation of such chit fund companies and schemes under the Chit Fund Act, 1982.

Here are some of the important stories written and representations made by Moneylife over the years…

Moneylife Foundation’s representation to PM, FM and RBI on MLM schemes

In May 2011, following the exposé by Moneylife on Speak Asia Online Pte Ltd and its MLM scheme, Moneylife Foundation sent a representation to prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh, (the then) finance minister Pranab Mukherjee, finance secretary Sushama Nath and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor D Subbarao urging them to ban all MLM companies and their schemes in the country, or to bring all MLM companies under the regulation of either the RBI or the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), to stop them ensnaring gullible people.

West Bengal’s ‘chit fund’ mess and inaction of MCA

The massive money, which is raised surely shows somewhere on the balance sheet of the company, filed regularly with the MCA. The primary recipient of the information about these companies is the MCA, and surprisingly the MCA is the least proactive in the entire process of bringing these perpetrators to regulatory focus, sooner before tonnes of money vanish.

Chain Game

Dubious pyramid schemes or money-circulation schemes are looting Indians across economic strata, finds Sucheta Dalal. This will continue since Central and state governments seem unconcerned.

Pyramid schemes: Daylight robbery

Pyramid marketing companies are looting the public easily, while the government watches. Many countries have banned them outright.

Ponzi Scheme: Is RBI Passing the Buck?

A strange deposit scheme that is proliferating in the states of Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka and Maharashtra has already collected almost Rs1,000 crore and is expanding virtually unchecked. The scam has elements of money-laundering and possibly the use of fake and forged currency as well; however, the banking regulator would like to pass off the investigation to the respective state governments for investigation under the antiquated Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act.

Coin Game

An international network marketing scheme hawking expensive limited edition coins is attracting a huge following. Sucheta Dalal examines this strange quest.

Ponzi schemes: Free for all

Moneylife readers know how MLM schemes ensnare lakhs of people by promising extraordinary returns. We learn from the ministry of consumer affairs that the government is now waking up to the need for better regulation of MLMs and ponzis. At the same time, the powerful Direct Selling Association of the US is lobbying hard for an amendment.

‘Beware of deception by pyramid schemes, MLMs trying to lure people with promise of high returns’

Pyramids are pure fraud. Their business is unsustainable-they promise payment for goods or services of dubious value. The hallmark of these schemes is the promise of sky-high returns in a short period of time, for doing nothing other than simply handing over your money to them, and getting others to do the same.

Ponzi schemes: The fraudulent art of chain game

Even as India bans pyramid schemes under a statute called the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, 1978, the country continues to be a happy hunting ground for pyramids because our legislation is deliberately unworkable.

Dubious Ponzi & MLM Schemes

Investors losing money, or falling for dubious Ponzi schemes, is not a recent phenomenon; this has been happening for decades and it is not restricted only to India. Why is it that people repeatedly fall prey to such schemes in spite of being aware of the frauds perpetrated by conmen under different guises?

Set up inter-departmental group to curb MLMs

EAS Sarma, former power and finance secretary, said the ministry of finance, Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), and the investigating agencies should collectively tackle this problem without any delay, as every day of procrastination will only result in thousands of hapless families cheated by the promoters of these schemes.

How MLMs wave an annulled letter to claim legitimacy of their operations and con people

Spokespersons and dealers of multi-level marketing (MLM) schemes or network marketing schemes respond to questions about their legitimacy by brandishing a 2003 letter issued by the then secretary, ministry of corporate affairs (MCA). What they omit to mention is that the letter was subsequently annulled following complaints about its misuse. This means, the letter used by these scamsters is no more valid.

Pyramid and MLM schemes are scourge on people

While there are existing laws such as Indian Penal Code (IPC), the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, 1978 (PCMCS Act) and others under which concerned agencies could prosecute the culprits, there is no effective mechanism in place to ensure a coordinated approach to identify the fraudulent operators in advance and book them well before they destroy the livelihoods of thousands of households and launder the ill-gotten funds to unknown destinations.

MLMs now want to ‘invest’ money in India, really?

A set of powerful MLMs, which are part of an exclusive closed club, called the Indian Direct Selling Association or IDSA (on the lines of the Direct Selling Association of the US) has been lobbying hard to make a distinction between their operations and those of others, who they call, fly-by-night operators such as SpeakAsia and Ad Magnet.

QNet, the MLM company, has no answers to Moneylife’s simple questions

QNet, the controversial Hong Kong-based multi-level marketing (MLM) operator with multiple names (GoldQuest, QuestNet, QNet, QI Ltd and QI group are the better known names) refused to answer simple questions like how much money their independent representative (IR) earns on an average every month and why their products are priced so highly. Instead, it sent us a threatening and defamatory mail that raises more questions as to their real motive.

2011: A year dedicated to MLM and Ponzi scheme frauds

If 2010 was the year of great Indian scams, 2011 was rather of ponzi and multi-level marketing (MLM) frauds. SpeakAsia managed to top the chart, but soon many others joined the bandwagon, duping gullible investors for several thousand crores.

How to avoid 'get-rich-quick' schemes and scams

Nothing comes free in this world, especially money. The universal truth is you need to earn your money by hard labour all the time and there are no shortcuts to double it in the shortest span of time. Therefore, even if your near and dear ones tell you he/she will double, triple, quadruple your money within a few days/months, politely reply to them that it is not possible and what they are advocating is a pure 'get-rich-quick' type of scam.

Herbalife is a pyramid scheme worth zero dollars: Bill Ackman

Herbalife, a global MLM scheme also prevalent in India, is believed to be worthless according to hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, who made a detailed presentation on why consumers should avoid buying the company’s products and stay away from the MLM.

Cops tracking ‘Diamonds’ of Amway
Hyderabad: The top police officials of the two States of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have launched a massive hunt to track down the ‘Diamonds’ and other members of Amway India Enterprises to make sure their role in the multilevel marketing scam of the US-based company.

According to informed sources, the police of both the states are even sharing information regarding the list of upline members in the hierarchy of Amway India Enterprises, who share commissions on purchase of products by the downline members. The sources said that in the business model of Amway, the upline members who enroll new members into the scheme of purchasing products received sizable income which was nothing but easy and quick money. “Once the list of the ‘Diamonds’ is prepared and their income on commissions is confirmed, we go ahead with arresting them also,” the source said.

Meanwhile, the police on Monday arrested the MD and CEO of Amway, William S Pinckney, who is presently in Charlapalli Jail and presented him in the judicial court which sent him to remand for 14 days. The MD was sent back to Charlapalli Jail. It is learnt that the police would file a petition in the court seeking custody of Pinckney for interrogation to take the criminal case against him to a logical conclusion.

A police official said that the law would take its own course and charge sheets would be filed soon in the criminal cases against Amway India. In another twist to the criminal case against the MD of Amway, the High Court did not issue any orders on the petition filed by Amway India to exempt its managing director Pinckney from surrendering the passport to the police department. However, the passport surrender order issue has become an impediment for the release of Pinckney on bail.

QNet Multi Level Marketing in India – Review
Posted on 3 June, 2014 by consumer — No Comments ↓

My friend Natraj Korgaonkar suddenly called me after 1 year, regarding a business meet. When he met me he started to enquire about my financial status, so I shared that it was not that good. He told me that he was running a business for which he left his job & is making more than the salary offered by the job. That sounded good so I fixed a meet. He told me that, it is 4 to 5 years project in which we will meet the VP (Vice Presidents) from different companies in the whole world. He assured that in this business I will be able to make rupees 4 to 5 crore in next 5 years. He asked me that if i would like to join him. I asked for a bit of details from him. He took me to his senior partner, named Mikhil Samel. Mikhil told me that they have very less positions for partners, which was valid only for that day hence i have to book the position immediately without delay, otherwise they will sign up some one else for their business project.

For this I was suppose to pay Rs. 3 lakhs to start the business, I did not have the arrangement for that sum so I said no to it. Then they said you can pay the booking amount approximately $595 (INR 45,000) and block the position. So I did the same. Then he insisted to make my husband join under me. I said will have to try first & then will put more money in the business, they then assured me the they will manage the business for me and were reluctant to share what exactly the business idea was. Since Natraj Korgaonkar was a trusted friend & used to work with me I believed it & also enrolled my husband for the same amount $595 (INR 45,000). When i asked about the business, they mentioned that “it is an e commerce business. Hence by paying money, i will be buying 3 shares of the company named Q.Net and i will be a partner”. They said ” I will get a IR code, which i can circulate amongst my friend & relatives circle and whenever they will shop, i will get the 10% to 14% of the total amount. They told me that projected profit per partner is 4.81 crore in 4 to 5 years. So, it’s not at all tough business.” When i was asking about company & business more, he never answered. He said its not our “standard operating procedure” SOP and you will know it gradually. As they were pressurizing me for money to close the position. I applied for loan, and i made an online purchase on the website using my credit card for both the transactions. We were not given options as to what we can buy & were forced to buy the holiday package (Explore 1 for 7nights & 8 Days).

Before enrolling said that this is very easy, he had promised me that I had to put in 2 to 3 hours daily from home, where few days later as after enrolling & making the payment he said I have to work at any time of the day & only as per his availability & meet at the place feasible to him. Most of the time when I called him he was busy during the day time & could not provide enough support. He used to come home at late night to explain the further procedures. I was not comfortable but had no option as I had payed already. I was shocked to see, that the destination for the Holiday package will decided by the company as per hotel & room availability & I had to suggest 3 options for the destination also that I will have to pay a sum of INR 6500 to book the date of my holiday which was not explained earlier. He showed me financial’s of the company and while seeing financials i came to know that it is “Network Marketing”, and I have to make 6 partners to start making money. than i realised that something wrong has happened with me. After Financials he took me to Mc Donalds, Hub Mall Goregaon, Mumbai for some Welcome session, In which they were talking about “Dreams”. They told me to write down minimum 20 Dreams that i would like to fulfill, than he told to make a name list of people whom i know. minimum 500 names. He explained that our name list should exceed by 10% every month, means we have to make new friend to make business partners. etc. The very next day after this session, he took me to a conference that these people call it as “System”. Where their Senior Partners (they call them Uplines) come and address the audience by showing off money & their experience. Still I was not clear that what is this all going on? What I have to do in business? and Natraj was not answering me regarding anything. Whenever i questioned him, he roudly replied that “just do as i am saying, dont dare to run your own brain in this work. No Questions, Just do as i say”. He gave a set of books and DVD’s to study before i start this business for which I had to pay additional INR 1000. I read the books & watched the DVD’s they were all about how to do network marketing. I was amazed to see, that I have got trapped by the tactics shown in the DVD’s & Books. Next time when he met me, he told me about Hot, Warm & Cold Zones. Hot Zones – Means the people who are very close to you and trust you a lot like your parents, best friends and relatives. Warm Zones – Means your normal friends Cold means – the people whom you dont know at all. These zones were the targets for them.

Natraj told me to make name list of all 500 contacts on my social networking websites. I was doing it than he told me to call up my near dear ones and tell them ” Bada acha business hath laga hai, send me money of minimum Rs.1 lakh immediately to my account. Agar profit nai mila toh, i will give you double amount in 3 years that no bank will give” He told me show urgency by saying ” I have only 1 position and i have to close it immediately, send me money jaldi se” . he told me not to answer any questions of anyone and keep the call. I felt very strange about all these things. According to me, this is not a right or ethical thing that was happening with me. Whatever they were teaching me, was not at all convincing for me. My ethics doesn’t allow me to do anything wrong and lie anyone for money. Hence after seeing all this, i started asking more questions from Natraj and he started getting more & more rude with me. I have been cheated because i saw that, they are teaching me ways to make people fool and get the money from your own friends & relatives. i found it completely unethical. The people who are called Up Lines, listen to every call. They listen to calls to know what are we talking about, as we are not supposed to say a single word without their permission. They want me to get people on the table to see this business plan, and immediately pay them money. I felt my money has been wasted unnecessarily and still i have to pay INR 6500 for the holiday package. I was never informed about the return policy or else I would have changed my decision to pay for this scam. On sheer trust i gave money and now i am paying EMI’s because i can’t lie or break anyone’s trust. Hence I didn’t even made a single partner in this business. I would like to get my money back, so that I can pay my loan back and can live my life peacefully.

QNET files appeal against Magistrate's order blocking websites
Press Trust of India | Mumbai
May 29, 2014 Last Updated at 18:38 IST
Hong Kong-based multi-level marketing company QNET, allegedly involved in Rs 425-crore financial fraud, today filed an appeal in a sessions court here challenging a lower court order which had blocked its websites.

The appeal would come up for hearing by May 31, court sources said.

On a plea made by Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Mumbai police, a city Magistrate had on May 3 issued an order asking Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) of Information and Technology Department of the Union Government to block the websites/servers of the company.

Accordingly, the CERT blocked these websites which were allegedly indulging in online illegal money circulation schemes. Being aggrieved, QNET filed an appeal in the sessions court.

The EOW had alleged that the websites of QNET induced the people to jump into money circulation scheme and thus they got cheated by way of selling various products.

The EOW had arrested nine team leaders of QNET for allegedly duping investors by offering to sell products like magnetic disks, herbal products and holiday schemes through fraudulent practices. However, they were released on bail later.

QNET has also been accused of using the banned binary pyramid business model for their multi-level marketing schemes to entice investors. The accused have been charged with cheating and forgery under relevant sections of the Prize, Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act 1978.

QNET contended in the appeal that it used its websites -- http://www.Qnet.Net, http://www.Questnet.Net and http://www.Qnetindia.In -- as their "e-commerce" platform to sell various products.

The company said that without hearing them or giving them an opportunity to plead its case, the Magistrate passed the impugned order asking the authorities to block websites.

QNET argued that it was engaged in e-commerce and hence its websites is their blood line. The EOW want to block their website to stop the blood line and bring the company business to collapse before proving the allegations levelled against them in the FIR registered in August last year.

Amway Chief Executive Pinckney in Khammam Police Custody
Press Trust of India | Updated On: May 28, 2014 23:53 (IST)
Hyderabad:

The Khammam police in Andhra Pradesh took Amway India chief executive William Scott Pinckney into custody on Wednesday following registration of a case against the direct selling company.

Amway is facing nine criminal cases at various places in Andhra Pradesh.

A court in Kurnool district also rejected Mr Pinckney's bail petition and granted his five-day remand to Kurnool police while the Punjagutta police registered yet another case against him.

However, before Kurnool police could take his custody, the Khammam Police obtained a production warrant from a court in Khammam and furnished it to the Kadapa jail authorities on Wednesday evening. A complaint has been filed against Amway by one G Rama Rao in Khammam.

"We have taken him (Pinckney) into custody from Kadapa prison....He will be produced before a court in Khammam district," a senior police official told PTI on Wednesday evening.

Kurnool Superintendent of Police (SP) Raghurami Reddy said they will seek Mr Pinckney's custody from Khammam police by producing the Kurnool court's order. "We may lose one day (of custodial interrogation period) in this process," he said.

"The police were permitted to take him (Pinckney) into five-day custody from tomorrow (by Kurnool court). It (the Amway business) is going on for the past several years. We need to find out the details about the company's revenues and mode of operations," the police official told PTI over phone from Kurnool.

Responding to a complaint alleging financial irregularities in Amway's operations, Mr Pinckney was arrested in Gurgaon by the Kurnool Police. He was produced before a court on Tuesday which sent him to Kadapa district jail on a judicial remand.

Meanwhile, a complaint of cheating was registered against Amway in Punjagutta police station in Hyderabad by a local organisation on Wednesday, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (West Zone) V Satyanarayana.

"The matter has been forwarded to the legal cell seeking its opinion as no victim has come forward with regard to the complaint....the victim has to come forward and tell about the alleged wrongful loss caused by the multi-marketing business run by the company," he said.

Amway faces criminal complaints in Guntur, Vijayawada, Prakasam, Khammam, Warangal and Medak. In addition, there are three cases in Hyderabad.

According to police, the CID had registered a criminal case against Amway in 2006. The company approached High Court seeking a declaration that its marketing scheme does not fall under the provisions of 'The Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, 1978'.

But the HC held that the scheme is an illegal 'Money Circulation Scheme' and falls within the definition of mischief as described in the Act. The company got no relief from the Supreme Court either, as per the police.

Terming the FIRs as "frivolous and misleading", Amway in a late night statement said Mr Pinckney has been denied bail and the company will move higher court.

It also said the police started moving Pinckney from Kadapa jail to Khammam jail even before the outcome of the bail hearing in Kurnool. This movement was based on another "frivolous" FIR lodged in Khammam some days ago, it added.

"Subsequently, in the evening, the bail application of William Pinckney was denied by the Kurnool court. We will now approach the sessions court."

"We maintain that the allegations mentioned in the FIRs are frivolous and give a misleading impression about our business. We had no prior information about the FIR which was filed way back in December 2013," it said.

The developments highlight the need to amend the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act 1978 (PCMCS) under which the complaints have been filed against Amway and its CEO, the statement said.

"Frivolous or motivated complaints filed against a legitimate direct selling company like Amway have been misinterpreted and booked under the PCMCS Act. As pointed out by the Secretary General of FICCI yesterday, such instances can potentially damage the country's reputation as an investment destination," it said.

The company ask the authorities to take note of the challenges faced by the direct selling industry and provide guidelines to recognise legitimate direct selling companies. The direct selling industry generates an annual revenue of more than Rs. 7,100 crore, it said.

Amway operates its business through the direct selling model in markets with very stringent direct selling and consumer protection regulations like the USA, UK, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam without challenge or inhibition maintaining the highest levels of probity, integrity, corporate governance and consumer protection standards, it said.

Tax Court Denies Amway Losses - Again
It’s been a while since I’ve seen a Tax Court decision about Amway losses. Several years ago I did a study of all Amway cases. The taxpayers almost always lost and generally for the same reasons. The case of Samer and Mariana Mikhail, decided this month, does not break any new ground. The taxpayers were representing themselves and the stakes were fairly low – deficiency of $8,286 for the year 2009.

What is Amway all about?

I attended an Amway presentation many years ago. Apparently things have not changed that much. Amway markets a variety of consumer products through a direct marketing system. The participants are referred to as IBOs (Independent Business Owners). According to its website, Amway has paid out over $40 billion in bonuses and incentives to IBOs since 1959. The key to success as an Amway IBO is not so much selling the product yourself as it is recruiting other people (your down-line), who recruit other people and so on. You get a piece of the action for everybody down line to you just as your upline gets a piece of the action from the sales you generate.

Track Star Ryan Bailey's Coach Beats IRS In Tax Court Peter J Reilly Peter J Reilly Contributor
Horse Breeders Win in Tax Court Peter J Reilly Peter J Reilly Contributor

The Tax Court explains it this way.

Amway’s compensation system for distributors results in a pyramidlike network of distributors. Under this system an “upline” or “sponsor” distributor is encouraged to recruit new “downline” distributors to become part of his or her organization. “Downline” distributors likewise are encouraged to recruit new distributors who in turn become “legs” of the original “upline” distributor’s organization. “Downline” distributors recruited by the same “upline” distributor are referred to as “crossline” distributors. An “upline” distributor receives bonus payments from Amway based on the volume of sales (as opposed to profits) generated by the “downline” distributors who are part of his or her organization.

How did it work for the Mikhails?

Dr. Samar Mikhail is a physician employed by the US Department of Veterans Affairs. In 2007, the final year of his residency, he earned about $64,000. From 2008 to 2011, his earnings went from about $145,000 to about $165,000. Mrs. Mikhail has had some short-term part-time jobs but has mainly been a homemaker.

Dr. Mikhail was recruited in 2004 by his dentist. He did some research and concluded that the negative assessments you will read about Amway are attributable to individuals “who did not follow the system”. Apparently the Mikhails decided that they would “follow the system”.

Petitioners conducted their Amway activities in accordance with instructions from their “upline” distributors, educational materials obtained from an Amway-related educational system known as Leadership Team Development (LTD), and information obtained while attending Amway seminars, workshops, and conferences. Petitioners did not seek advice from disinterested professionals, develop a business plan, prepare profit projections, or undertake any type of market analysis.

Petitioners attended weekly and monthly Amway meetings held locally and elsewhere in Florida. During 2009 they attended five national Amway.

The part I highlighted is a tip-off that the case is not going to go well for the Mikhails. Tax Court judges are big believers in business plans.

Dr. Mikhail testified that the time he devotes to Amway activities is largely directed at recruiting new distributors. He further testified that he usually spends his lunch hour, as well as an hour or two after work, and approximately three hours every weekend on Amway activities and that Amway is always “at the forefront” of his mind. Dr. Mikhail spent more time on Amway activities than Mrs. Mikhail.

Mrs. Mikhail testified that she is responsible for bookkeeping, business management, and organization of Amway parties and events. During 2009 she maintained records of the couple’s Amway-related expenses including a mileage log, a spreadsheet listing monthly expenses, and credit card statements. Petitioners did not use their Amway records to prepare a formal budget or conduct a break-even analysis.

Petitioners initially attempted to recruit family members and friends as “downline” distributors but found that most of them were unable to “overcome their life circumstances and continue to build Amway with us”. Petitioners later altered their recruitment strategy by frequenting upscale restaurants and shopping areas and striking up conversations with people they encountered with the aim of identifying what they termed “learners”. Petitioners purchased books and CDs from LTD and gave them to potential recruits.

The Mikhails posted losses in every year from 2005 through 2011. All in, there was less than $30,000 in revenue and a total net loss of $192,427

The Decision

The Court starts off with the classic nine factors.

These factors are: (1) the manner in which the taxpayer carries on the activity; (2) the expertise of the taxpayer or his advisers; (3) the time and effort expended by the taxpayer in carrying on the activity; (4) the expectation that the assets used in the activity may appreciate in value; (5) the taxpayer’s success in carrying on other similar or 4 dissimilar activities; (6) the taxpayer’s history of income or losses with respect to the activity; (7) the amount of occasional profits, if any, which are earned; (8) the financial status of the taxpayer; and (9) any elements indicating personal pleasure or recreation.

They pretty much went 0 for 9.

Although petitioners kept records of their Amway expenses, they did not use those records to analyze their business performance or to prepare profit projections, a break-even analysis, or a formal budget.

Petitioners obtained advice only from “upline” distributors—persons who had a direct financial interest in the maximization of petitioners’ sales volume, without regard to whether they would realize a profit.

Under the circumstances, we conclude petitioners did not spend a significant amount of time on the Amway activity.

Petitioners had no prior experience engaging in a direct marketing distributorship or managing a small business of any sort.

Although petitioners testified that they believe the Amway activity will eventually generate profits, we cannot discern on this record any definitive trend to the upside for petitioners, and there certainly is no indication that they are on their way to the level of profitability that would allow them to recoup the substantial cumulative losses they have incurred to date.

The record shows that petitioners used their Amway distributorship as a means to generate deductions for essentially personal expenditures and to enjoy discounts on items they purchased for personal consumption. The availability of consumer product discounts for personal use merchandise is a factor supporting the conclusion that petitioners lacked a profit objective.

We also note that petitioners (1) traveled together to attend Amway seminars and conferences in various cities, (2) took trips to New York and Texas to discuss Amway with family and friends, and (3) hosted meetings that had a social component. All things considered, we conclude that petitioners derived personal benefits and pleasure from the Amway activity. This factor weighs against petitioners.

About Being An Amway IBO

It is not hard to find a lot of criticism of the Amway IBO experience. According to the critics most people don’t make any money and the big earners make most of their money from selling motivational tools to the wannabees. Then you will find critics of the critics. I have determined to remain agnostic on that issue. The record in Tax Court is somewhat supportive of the critics, but of course there is a sampling problem. Successful Amway IBOs will not end up in Tax Court defending year after year losses.

The most colorful critic is probably the author of Married To An Ambot. Of course there are those who question her sincerity. I have decided not to have a dog in that fight, but to stick with what I read in original tax documents, which allows me to formulate some advice that is sound regardless of what the “truth about Amway” is. It boils down to two suggestions.

My Suggestions.

My first suggestion is that if you want to have a side business to make personal expenses deductible (which is something that you should not do at all, by the way), Amway is about the worst thing to pick. People with persistent Amway losses do not do well in Tax Court. The other is that if you expect that a side activity will ultimately be profitable, you might want to consider suspending the losses under Code Section 469. Although, in principle, this does not immunize you from being attacked under Section 183, as a practical matter it does since you are not getting a current benefit. You will get the benefit when the activity becomes profitable or you abandon it.

You can follow me on twitter @peterreillycpa.

Note

The case has not attracted much notice. Joe Kristan wrote

I avoid multi-level marketing clients because their “profit” so often comes from putting personal expenses on Schedule C. It sure seems that way here.

The Tax Court declined to impose penalties, citing taxpayer maintenance of good records and reliance on a CPA to prepare their returns. Considering that the Tax Court has upheld penalties for taxpayers who are more sympathetic than a doctor deducting his car, it’s somewhat surprising. It shows that even if you can’t show a profit motive, using good records and a preparer can at least help avoid penalties.

Amway's Claims Are Malarkey, Distributors Say
By MATT REYNOLDS

LOS ANGELES (CN) - The world's largest Amway distributors expanded their business from Taiwan into Chinese communities in the United States, defrauding their new clients with promises of "enormous profits," nine Amway sellers claim in court.
Lead plaintiff Longsheng Lei and eight other of the self-described "most successful distributors in the entire Amway organization" sued Amway and husband-and-wife Amway distributors Barry Chi and Holly Chen in Superior Court. They allege breach of contract, fraud, false advertising, unfair competition, unjust enrichment, conversion and negligent misrepresentation.
"Defendants, husband and wife Barry Chi and Holly Chen are the single largest Amway distributors in the world," the lawsuit states. "Barry and Holly's network has spread from her base in Taiwan to Chinese communities in United States, including the Southern California region."
Chi and Chen persuaded the plaintiffs to attend their seminars and become "independent business owners" through Amway's pyramid selling structure, Lei says.
According to the 14-page lawsuit, the husband and wife made "false promises of enormous profit" and Chen told seminar attendees that she has so much money she "doesn't even know how much she makes."
Lei claims that although the defendants promised she could make hundreds of thousands of dollars or even millions in commissions, the reality is that Amway knows its business owners make closer to $200 a month.
She claims that Amway and Chen and Chi, like other high-level distributors, make most of their money through the sale of "non-Amway" motivational books, tapes and seminars.
Lei claims that after she became an independent business owner in 2011, Amway falsely accused her of using other Amway sellers to send products to an Army base in Texas.
Another distributor, plaintiff Hui Cao, was accused, with scant evidence, of selling Amway products through Amazon storefront, Platinum Wire, according to the lawsuit.
Amway suspended Lei's registrations and withheld Cao's commissions even though Amway represents to distributors that they work for themselves and are not "bound one to the other in any other relationship other than that of an independent arm's length business relationship," the lawsuit states.
The plaintiffs seek punitive damages and costs and are represented by Long Liu of San Gabriel.
Amway did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

All that glitters is not gold in network marketing
CNN-IBN
Feb 26, 2008 at 11:35am IST

Software professional A V S Satyanarayana changed gears to become an Amway distributor only to realise he could not steer his life anymore. “What they publicise and talk inside are completely different. It is very much illegal. You can’t force your consumer to buy certain things and you can't force another consumer to utilise these things,” says Satyanarayana.

When his family life started to come apart Satyanarayana opted out but not before filing a FIR against Amway India Enterprises with the CID in Hyderabad. “I expressed my unwillingness to continue in the scheme and inability to enroll other member. They approached my family members and office subordinates and started to harass them to join in the scheme on my behalf,” says Satyanarayana.

“Amway confuses distributor as consumer, consumer as distributor. If consumer raises his voice and says this product is costly and suddenly they say you are a distributor you can't talk and if you go as a distributor say you need low prices,” Satyanarayana.

Loss or gain

A CNN-IBN investigation sought to find out the truth about multi-level marketing. It met a couple whose children sank their retirement benefits into network marketing. Dr Umamaheshwar Rao, a retired scientist, and his wife were initially supportive of their children's venture.

“For over five or six years they were into the business. I went along with them supported them in every way financially, physically and morally, but in the end it was found to be a losing game by themselves,” says Rao.

The expenditure was guaranteed but not the income. “The net result is a loss. The sales were less and the money spent in the game was more.” The family lost several lakh rupees even as their children drifted away.

“It ruined our inter-personal relationships. People were cult controlled in immeasurable ways,” says Rao, who has filed a public interest litigation (PIL) for action against Amway.

In Percherla village, in Andhra Pradesh's Guntur district, the CNN-IBN investigation met more families who accuse network marketing companies of exploiting their ignorance and illiteracy.

Anasuya is a tailor. She has been dealing with angry neighbours ever since she got them to join the network-marketing scheme of Pearls Agrotech Corporation. “They told me pay Rs 1,365 per annum and after five and half year you will get Rs 10,900,” says Anasuya.

“The agent pursued me and said if I get 10 members I will be paid more commission. They were even promised plots of land as payment. They gave bonds in which there is no money but a plot I don't know where this plot is,” alleges Anasuya.

People from Percherla have been duped into shelling out almost Rs 20 lakh for land that only exists on paper. In Ramadevi's case after this dud investment, her husband just walked out on her.

“The money I paid was without the consent of my husband that led to problems. My husband left home,” says Ramadevi.

When contacted Pearls Agrotech refused to comment.

The recipe for success

Like Indian companies, Amway has also found its way into the villages of Andhra Pradesh. Brammiah Addanki wanted to do better in life, and was told that by joining Amway he could achieve his dream of owning a concrete house.

Brahmiah and his wife earned just Rs 4,000 a month and they poured all of that to become Amway distributors. “They promised my wife air tickets. She was told to enroll more persons to earn her commission. We were also told these products would earn us a lot of money,” says Brahmiah.

They spent thousands on enrolling members and stockpiling products… including items they didn't even need. Till they realised that buying was easier than selling.

“Out of Rs 20,000 I only recovered Rs 5,000. We had to consume most of it ourselves because these items are too expensive for others in the village. We put our savings into this. We borrowed money, now we are in debt,” says Brammiah.

Gajulapeta in Ibrahimpatnam is full of families who have lost money chasing the promises held out by network marketing firms.

Baali, a daily labourer earning Rs 50 a day, mortgaged her house hoping to become a successful Amway Business Owner. “When they met me, they said it's a great opportunity to earn money. I didn't have spare money then, so I raised it by mortgaging my house,” says Baali.

“First I paid Rs 5,000, then Rs 2000 and then Rs 2000 again. Like this I paid Rs 50,000 borrowing on interest,” says Baali.

“Companies create a rosy picture saying you should become a member of multi-level marketing and you will get many things. They say you will get health as well as wealth,” says Divakar Babu, of the Consumer Guidance Society.

Baali, like most women in Gajulapeta, got none. She curses herself for not being able to look beyond the gloss. CNN-IBN then approached the woman who introduced Amway and roped in all her neighbors to do network marketing in this small village.

B Lakshmi didn’t know about the risks of network marketing and enthusiastically made a down line of 30 people. “They said it depends upon the number of people I can convince to join. I was told I could earn up to Rs 50,000 a month. I would start with Rs 5000 and by the end of one year it would be Rs 50,000,” says Lakshmi

To sail the seven seas, she even borrowed from micro finance schemes. Lakshmi and her husband's story will never make it to these brochures her husband is livid and the neighbors unforgiving…

When asked how they chose their distributors, in a written response, Amway admitted that no minimum educational qualifications were required. Self-belief and a strong desire to succeed in the long term was needed in the business, the company said.

Amway Response:

"The Direct Selling Industry does not "impose" any minimum desirable educational qualification"

"For distributors, self belief and a strong desire to succeed with a long term business perspective is needed"

I. Money Circulation/Multi-Level Marketing (MLM)/ Ponzi Schemes/ Unincorporated Bodies (UIBs)

45. What are money circulation/Ponzi/multi-level marketing schemes?

Money circulation, multi level marketing / Chain Marketing or Ponzi schemes are schemes promising easy or quick money upon enrollment of members. Income under Multi level marketing or pyramid structured schemes do not come from the sale of products they offer as much as from enrolling more and more members from whom hefty subscription fees are taken. It is incumbent upon all members to enroll more members, as a portion of the subscription amounts so collected are distributed among the members at the top of the pyramid. Any break in the chain leads to the collapse of the pyramid, and the members lower in the pyramid are the ones that are affected the most. Ponzi schemes are those schemes that collect money from the public on promises of high returns. As there is no asset creation, money collected from one depositor is paid as returns to the other. Since there is no other activity generating returns, the scheme becomes unviable and impossible for the people running the scheme to meet the promised return or even return the principal amounts collected. The scheme inevitably fails and the perpetrators disappear with the money.

46. Is acceptance of money under Money Circulation/Multi-level Marketing/Pyramid structured schemes allowed?

No. Acceptance of money under Money Circulation/Multi-level Marketing/Pyramid structured schemes and Ponzi schemes is not allowed as acceptance of money under those schemes is a cognizable offence under the Prize Chit and Money Circulation (Banning) Act 1978.

47. Does RBI regulate Money Circulation/Multi-level Marketing/Pyramid structured scheme?

No. Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes are banned under the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act of 1978. The Reserve Bank has no role in implementation of this Act, except advising and assisting the Central Government in framing the Rules under this Act.

48. Then who regulates entities that run such schemes?

Money Circulation/Multi-level Marketing /Pyramid structured schemes are an offence under the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, 1978. The Act prohibits any person or individual to promote or conduct any prize chit or money circulation scheme or enrol as member to its schemes or anyone to participate in it by either receiving or remitting any money in pursuance of such chit or scheme. Contravention of the provisions of this Act, is monitored and dealt with by the State Governments.

49. What if someone operates such a scheme?

Any information/grievance relating to such schemes should be given to the police / Economic Offence Wing (EOW) of the concerned State Government or the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. If brought to RBI notice – we will inform the same to the concerned State Government authorities.

50. Who can the Depositor/Investor turn to in case of grievances?

The two Charts given at Annex I and II depict the activities and the regulators overseeing the same. Complaints may hence be addressed to the concerned regulator. If the activity is a banned activity, the aggrieved person can approach the State Police/Economic Offences Wing of the State Police and lodge a suitable complaint.

51. Who has the power to take action against Unincorporated Bodies (UIBs) accepting deposits?

As per Section 45T of RBI Act, both the RBI and State Governments have been given concurrent powers. Nonetheless, in order to take immediate action against the offender, the information should immediately be passed on to the State Police or the Economic Offences Wing of the concerned State who can take prompt and appropriate action. Since the State Government machinery is widespread and the State Government is also empowered to take action under the provisions of RBI Act, 1934, any information on such entities accepting deposits may be provided immediately to the respective State Government’s Police Department/EOW.

Many of the State Governments have enacted the State Protection of Interests of Depositors Act in Financial Establishments, which empowers the State Government to take appropriate and timely action.

Section 45S of the RBI Act 1934 specifically prohibits unincorporated bodies like individuals, firms and unincorporated association of individuals from accepting deposits from the public if they are carrying on financial activity or are accepting deposits as their principal business. The Act makes acceptance of deposits by such UIBs punishable with imprisonment or fine or both.

The RBI Act, 1934, gives concurrent powers to the Reserve Bank and the State Government to obtain a search warrant from the Court to investigate the acceptance of deposits by such UIBs.

An Authorized Officer of the Reserve Bank or the State Government can file a complaint in a court of law against the unincorporated bodies and the individuals concerned for the offence.

State government notifies public against MLM network scams
Imphal Free Press
By Imphal Free Press May 17, 2011 21:00

IMPHAL May 17: In the aftermath of the financial devastation caused by certain networks namely Visarev, Unipay, Forex ,Global Index Daily which had swindled crores from scores of investors from the state, the government has finally addressed the issue.

A notification of the Finance department signed by V K Dewangan, commissioner has informs the public that Prize chits or benefit schemes only give advantage to the promoters and do not serve any social purpose.

Thus, the so called Multi Level Marketing (MLM), though called by very attractive names squarely falls within the definition of `Money Circulation Scheme` under the act and hence prohibited by the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) (Manipur) Rules, 1978.

The notification says that the general public should avoid and not enroll themselves into these schemes as they not only destroy the economic fabric of the state but also the fiscal system of the country.

Further, it also informed that MLM schemes destroy the knitted social fabric of our society and therefore, the public should not associate themselves with such companies. Citing previous cases of the Supreme Court and various other courts issuing judgments against the MLM`â„¢s which are camouflaged illegal money circulation schemes, it mentions cases of Amway vs State of Andhra Pradesh, FMCG vs State of Tamil Nadu etc and in these cases, the judgments`â„¢ passed clearly states that these types of schemes are prejudicial to public interest and also adversely affects the efficacy of fiscal and monetary policy as siphoning of crores take place without accountability.

In this regard, the department of Financial Services, ministry of Finance, government of India has directed the Directorate of Enforcement and Central Economic Intelligence Bureau for taking up appropriate action against these major financial scams. The Central Economic Intelligence Bureau, in turn has directed state governments for taking up appropriate action.

Further, it states that the general public, government officials and others concerned that the specific provisions under Prize Chit and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) (Manipur) RULES, 1978 and relevant sections under section 420 of the Indian Penal Code are available to be invoked and effectively check and prevent progress of such dubious floated companies.

The notice further mentioned that Section 3 of Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, 1978 bans such schemes or participation in such schemes. Section 4 and 5 are penal provisions and prescribe punishment. Section 6 deals with offences committed by such companies. Section 7 authorizes police officers not below the rank of OC to exercise power to enter and search premises and to seize things used for such schemes. Section 8 provides for forfeiture of newspaper and publication containing money circulation schemes. The Preamble of 1978 Act declares that it has been enacted `to ban the promotion or conduct of prize chits and money circulation schemes and for matters connected therewith and incidental thereto`, it added.

The notice mentions that the easy prey is the middle class and loses all their savings even at the cost of their blood relations, with their kith and kin also being victimized. The worst sufferers in such schemes are often unemployed youths who lose their time, health, wealth in the wild goose chase. Such schemes have ultimately destroyed a number of families and friendships, it said.

M/S. Transview Enterprise India ... vs Union Of India on 31 October, 2013
.....
3. Briefly stated the facts are: that the petitioner had imported "Amezcua Chi Pendant" said to be artificial jewellery from its supplier M/s. QNET Ltd., Hong Kong. Value of the goods was declared to be `4,47,45,092/- by the petitioner.

Amway India Enterprises, vs Union Of India (Uoi), 19 July, 2007
...34. It is, thus, evident that the whole scheme is so ingeniously conceived that the inducement for aggressive enrollment of new members to earn more and more commission is inherent in the scheme. By holding out attractive commission on the business turned out by the downline members, the scheme provides for sufficient inducements for its members to chase for the new members in their hot pursuit to make quick/easy money. On the part of the promoter by pushing each member to achieve the minimum sales worth Rs. 2,000/- per month, (this sale includes enrollment of new members) he is assured of about Rs. 1000 crores per annum. All this squarely satisfy the description of quick/easy money. In addition to this, it is an admitted fact that each person in order to continue to be the distributor, shall pay renewal subscription fee of Rs. 995/- per annum. In para-11(b) of the counter affidavit on the admitted number of distributors of 4,50,000 this amount is calculated at about Rs. 45 crores per annum. These figures are not denied by the first petitioner in its rejoinder. The plea of the first petitioner that there is no compulsion that a member shall renew his distributorship looks to us to be specious. Once a person becomes a distributor in a scheme of this nature where the sops in the shape of commission are so luring, it would be very difficult for a member to withdraw from their membership to avoid payment of the annual renewal subscription fee.
35. From the whole analysis of the scheme and the way in which it is structured it is quite apparent that once a person gets into this scheme he will find it difficult to come out of the web and it becomes a vicious circle for him. In any event the petitioners have not specifically denied the turnover they are achieving and the income they are earning towards the initial enrollment of the distributors, the renewal subscription fee and the minimum sales being achieved by the distributors as alleged in the counter affidavit. By no means can it be said that the money which the first petitioner is earning is not the quick/easy money. By promising payment of commission on the business turned out by the down-line members sponsored either directly or indirectly by the up-line members (which constitutes an event or contingency relative to enrollment of members), the first petitioner is earning quick/easy money from its distributors, apart from ensuring its distributor earn quick/easy money. Thus the two ingredients are satisfied in the case of promoter too. We are, therefore, of the considered view that the scheme run by the petitioners squarely attracts the definition of "Money Circulation Scheme" as provided in Section 2(c) of the Act....

41. The complaint submitted to the CID Police, Hyderabad in this case is exhaustive. The complainant graphically described how the scheme run by petitioner No.1 through the other petitioners and various distributors in the country constitutes money circulation scheme. The gist of the complaint has already been extracted herein before. From the conclusion arrived at by us on the analysis of the admitted material available before us concerning the scheme, we have no doubt whatsoever that if the allegations contained in the report of C.No.1474/C-27/CiD/2006 dated 24-9-2006 are taken on their face value they make out an offence punishable under the provisions of Sections 4, 5 and 6 of the Act.

Pushpam Appala Naidu vs State Of Karnataka on 6 May, 2010

This petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 is directed against the proceedings in Cr. No. 28 of 2008 on the file of the I Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Bangalore, which after investigation is registered as CC No. 13035 of 2010 for the offence punishable under Sections 406 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860.

2. Petitioners are arraigned as accused. The circumstances leading to registration of such a case is that one Smt. Ayisha Begum, Petitioner 12, filed a report alleging that her neighbour Vazeer Vayathyulla Sharieff, had introduced her to M/s. Quest Net Company on the basis that he was working for it. He persuaded her to invest Rs. 30,000/- on the promise that she would get Rs. 1,000/- income per month. Believing his assurance she deposited the amount. He had actually assured other benefits also, but later it was found it was a trick to defraud the complainant. Cheating Was the main offence alleged apart from the charge under Section 406 of IPC.

3. On the basis of her report, investigation by CID resulted in filing of the final report. Petitioners 1 to 11 are summoned. They are ranked as accused 1 to 11. After lodging of the complaint the complainant-Smt. Ayisha Begum on her own volition sought to withdraw her report, but police officers have not allowed her since the final report has already been filed. Pursuant to filing of the final report case is registered in Criminal Case.

4. In the circumstance, the Petitioners have applied to this Court and the complainant has joined them as party array to support their cause. The complainant has also filed an affidavit in this case indicating that she has no interest in prosecuting the case as she has already received the entire amount invested. The learned Counsel for Petitioners would submit that in view of the fact situation there is no case made out to try them for the offence punishable under Section 420 or 406 of IPC or for Sections 4, 5 and, 6 of Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, 1978.

5. On behalf of the State there is little or nothing to say in the matter because the complainant on whose complaint the case was registered and investigation was carried out by the CID, Bangalore has now recalled and withdrawn all allegations. This Court in similar circumstances accepted the plea of the accused and has quashed the proceedings as is evident from the order passed in Cri. P. No. 5607 of 2009, dated 13-11-2009 and also in Cri. P. No. 6600 of 2009, dated 18-12-2009. Since the same issue has arisen for consideration in this case and in view of the Complainant's stand that she does not intend to prosecute her complaint as she has already received the amount and as there was no intention to Petitioners 1 to 11 to defraud her, I am satisfied that no fruitful purpose would be served in continuing prosecution, which will undoubtedly fail in view of the stand taken by the complainant.

6. In the result, the petition is allowed. The proceedings in CC No. 13035 of 2010 on the file of the I Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Bangalore, are quashed.

At this stage, the learned Additional State Public Prosecutor Mr. Nawaz, submits that the order may be confined only to the Petitioners in this case.

Accordingly, the order would confine only to the Petitioners herein.

Madras High Court
The State Of Tamil Nadu vs Goldquest International Pvt.Ltd on 7 March, 2008

...7. In the case on hand, though it is stated that the accused has settled the claims of several complainants and most of them have given necessary letters withdrawing the complaints given as against him, the element of criminality attached to the acts perpetrated by the accused on the date of complaints is not erased. It is also to be remembered that even the offences alleged against the accused are non-compoundable ones, except the one under Section 420 IPC. It is evident from the facts of the case that 172 persons were cheated by the accused, as against the terms and conditions entered into by them with the customers. Thus, when serious allegations of cheating general public of their hard-earned moneys, by giving false hopes and making use of such amounts collected from the public for self and gained at the public expense, are made against the accused, the learned single Judge is not right in quashing the FIR, merely on the ground that some of the complainants have withdrawn their complaints, forgetting the fact that the criminality attributed to the accused is not erased.

Madras High Court
Gold Quest International Pvt. Ltd vs The State Of Tamil Nadu on 9 April, 2003
..... 25. Nothing is placed on record regarding the foundation of the petitioner companies and the aims and objectives of the companies to achieve and how they are beneficial or serving the ends of the society or the general public and therefore needless to mention that only to cover up cases of such nature, Act 43/78 has been legislated by the framers of law revealing thereby the legislative intent to cover up cases of such nature with schemes which are not based on any ideal relying on one's effort, hard work or putting in the intelligence etc. but on luck or chance of making quick or easy money by lazy or lethargic means of enrolling members into the scheme only to enrich the organisers at the cost of the general public which are glaring in the schemes and there is no wonder the respondents have issued proper directions to their subordinates to be on the alert and to avoid innocent general public from falling a prey to the ill-motivated designs or alluring tricks and tactics adopted by parties like the petitioners by using those who fall a prey early being used as their canvassing agents for enlisting more number of the general public to join the scheme ultimately to enrich themselves at the cost of the innocent public who are sure to be cheated ultimately and since many such instances have proved to be utter failures in the recent times giving way for the public to be cheated of their hard-earned life saving monies. Prevention is better than cure. The preventive and punitive measures taken on the part of the respondents cannot, under any circumstance, be termed as either irregular or illegal or infirm or in violation of the norms of law. The respondents have rightly exercised their jurisdiction conferred by law in registering such cases wherein such unlawful activities are reported or brought to the notice of the respondents thereby promptly registering the case either under the relevant provisions of the IPC such as 420 or under the penal provisions of the Special Act such as the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes ( Banning) Act, 1978 and thus they have only acted in adherence to the requirements of law and no such directions or orders as sought for to be made in the above petitions need be necessary in the circumstances of the case.

26. So far as the judgments cited on the part of the petitioners are concerned, in the first judgment by the Honourable Apex Court it is clearly held that `in the first place, it must be proved that he is promoting or conducting a scheme for the making of quick or easy money and secondly, the chance or opportunity of making quick or easy money must be shown to depend upon an event or contingency relative or applicable to the enrolment of members into that scheme', which are the ingredients of the relevant provisions of the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, which are laid emphasis by the Honourable Apex Court and the Honourable Apex Court would also hold that the `scheme has necessarily to be judged as a whole both from the viewpoint of the promoters and also of the members in order to find out whether it is a scheme for the making of quick or easy money and any event or contingency relative or applicable to the enrolment of members into the scheme'. Therefore, it is incumbent on the part of the respondents to study each and every such scheme floated and exercise their jurisdiction and proceed against, provided the transaction is not above-board and is secretive or clandestine in nature and if the transaction is considered to be a scheme for making quick or easy money.

27. So far as the case in hand is concerned, on a overall consideration of the facts and circumstances of the scheme floated on the part of the petitioners, the respondents in their considered view have rightly arrived at the conclusion to hold that they fall under the purview of Section 420 IPC and under Section 4 of the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, 1978 and hence they have given positive instructions to the law enforcing machinery and the police to register the cases wherever such schemes are floated. Therefore, the actions and prosecutions initiated by the respondents and their subordinates could only be concluded as within the permissible limits of their powers to register such cases and not in violation of any law or rule or norms.

EOW RAIDS QNET SYSTEM MEETING IN MUMBAY BEING CONDUCTED BY "MR.BIJOY MATEHWS"..TEAM LEADER OF QNET.

This Morning QNET team Leaders had organised a Seminar/System at the following address and invited innocent people to induce them into this illegal money circulation scheme..the system was held at the following address:

Youthapreneurs Training Center, 605, Alpana Bldg, Opp Sarvoday Hospital, LBS Marg, Ghatkopar (W), Mumbai - 86

During the raid Mr.Bijoy Mathews was caught red handed promoting the illegal money circulation scheme in presence of 45 Odd people.

Ironically this Mr.Bijoy Mathews is the same person who has had cooled his heels in the jail for more then 20 days in the past for the same offence.

The officers of EOW detained and questioned several people and names and contact details of 47 people were noted down :)

I am sure the records of the activity today will lead to the cancellation of the bail of several team leaders of QNET.

Let me mention here that a similar activity was done by the EOW several months back when QNET leaders were holding a system meeting in Dadar, Mumbai and details were noted down. These details led to the arrest of Nine qnet leaders earlier.

So guys any guess who all will be arrested now after today's raid/activity?

Best guesses will win prizes ;)

Keep posting/replying...

Regards
Gurupreet

P.S Tomorrow is the Hindi New Year so my msg to QNET "Happy New Year" in advance...

After the ABA of your people are cancelled we will get the bails also cancelled wait and see...

A rebuttal of the false claims made by Team Faith's "Lead Bird".

“I’m abroad taking medical treatment for a longstanding problem that I have.”
“As soon as I am cleared to travel, I will appear before the EOW.”

• What is this longstanding problem that requires medical treatment?
• Where are you getting yourself this treatment from?
• Couldn’t you get medical treatment for it in India?
• Does that mean that neither the Bio Disc nor Chi Pendant could keep you healthy or treat your ailment?

Money Circulation Schemes, Direct Marketing, Multi-Level Marketing Schemes, Network Marketing


Money Circulation Schemes are being promoted in the name of Direct marketing (DM), Multi-Level Marketing schemes (MLM), Network marketing (NWM), Referral Marketing, Introduction Marketing, Chain Marketing etc.


These schemes are nothing but camouflaged Money Circulation Schemes. In the front end the promoters display products and services at the back end it is nothing but Money Circulation Schemes banned under the provisions of Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act 1978.


To divert the attention of the public as well as the Law Enforcement Agencies and to cover up their illegal activity of Money Circulation Schemes they display products and services.


Product is only a bait but end result is Money Circulation Scheme


Money Circulation Scheme means any scheme by whatever name called where in the person has to enroll into the scheme through a already enrolled member by subscribing to the scheme by paying initial kit / member ship amount and purchasing goods and services, where in by this the introducer of the enrolled member will get benefits (easy money) and the company which promotes the scheme earns quick money. The enrolled member again has to enroll further members to get his amount back and also the benefits. By this the promoter of the company by just promoting the scheme gets benefits and the person who enrolls at the initial of the scheme reaps the benefits.


By enrollment into such scheme one would be getting back the initial paid investment and keep gaining financially by enrolling new members. So also, the second set of enrollers keep multiplying and gain financially, fascinating every onlooker to get engrossed into such dubious money circulation schemes. Such a system of chain to work endlessly to provide profit to everyone concerned would ultimately breakdown at some stage, resulting the financial benefit to some who joined the scheme at initial stages (they will be none than the promoters of the scheme), resulting in big financial loss to those who joined at a later stage. When a person fails to get his required clients or non-viability of the scheme but blame it as one’s personal failure. The gullible people are taken unaware when the real failure. The gullible people are taken unaware when the real picture of the money circulation schemes emerges. By the time the people realize that they were taken for a ride and cheated, it would be too late.


The promoters to promote their schemes through high profile campaign by using film stars, Government servants, Doctors, Engineers and well known personalities of the society in their meetings which are conducted in star hotels, Kalyanamandapams etc., with lot of fan fare. Public should refrain from attending such meetings.


Promoters of the scheme float their companies with attractive names like “Wonder World Co.” “Miracle Co” “Japan Life India” "Amway” “Gold Quest” “Ayerveda Life” “Herb Life” “Happy Life Co” “Magic Co.” “Nice Co.” “Mega Co.”, “eBIZ” etc.


They give attractive names to the enrolled members depending upon their enrollment like with attractive and stylish titles as “Silver member, Gold member, Diamond members, Platinum member, so on and so forth. They also call them as “Master Distributor, Super Distributor, Double Super Distributor etc,”, etc


They also use attractive slogans like “ Earn in rupees or dollars. Work from home ” “ Work four hours and earn Rs., 50,000 per month ” “ U R the boss of your business, so enroll immediately” “ Earn up to Rs.35,000/- + Monthly by just working 2 hours at home ” “ Do u want to earn extra by sitting at Home? The contact us ” “ Your pathway to Heaven ” “ Enroll with us for Healthy and Wealth life ” “ Do u want to lose your weight, then contact us ” etc.


These companies win over confidence of the members (victims) and maintain their image as charitable and benevolent, by offering donations to charitable, social and service oriented institutions by attracting publications, photographs of VVIP’s donating cheques. Likewise, they boost their image in a corporate style and try to gain mileage.


A single company will launch many sister companies to fool public as if to show that they are big group of companies. A single company renamed many a time attracts people of different places, takes its chameleon stride through colorful gifts, brochures, under case of cheating. Likewise, all innovative methods are put action to successfully grow them well and make money for themselves causing irreparable financial loss to the general public and society.


These companies results in exploitation of personal influence of each and every distributor or his close relative. If a Superior officer or his ward involved in MLM, the subordinates are forced to become members in the chain. Likewise if a close friend comes with a scheme, one finds it difficult to say “No” and if all the above get cheated also but they refrain from complaining to Police only to save their relationship/friendship.

BEWARE…!
If your close relative, friend, neighbor or your superior or collogue approaches you with a product / service which involves enrollment and further enrollment of members and meetings at high profile places / kitty parties then it is nothing but Money Circulation Scheme banned under the provisions of Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act 1978.
The appeal to the public to not to enroll themselves into Multi Level Marketing Companies, Money Circulation Schemes, Network Marketing Companies and other such companies and such schemes and get cheated.
MLM schemes destroy the well knitted social fabric of our Indian society and make your house as well as your neighborhood a market.
It is an appeal seeking your co-operation with the Investigating Agencies to curb such menace and nip it in the bud before it engulfs the gullible Public.

Investigation by the common man uncovers the connection between Michael Ferreira, a former world billiard champion as well as a Padma Bushan award winner and the QNET PYRAMID SCHEME.

Best of Luck Q, the real trouble starts NOW. You guys made people to sign up their HOT signups after the "Mumbai Challenge" and now it has boomeranged on you back...man this is getting worse and i am loving every bit of it...enjoy

I did not want to post this but since these QNETERS prompted and instigated me so BE IT...

The esplanade court today heard the remand application of the state i.e EOW.

Mr. Abad Ponda appeared on behalf of all the eight arrested top leaders of QNET in mumbai.

After hearing the arguments of both the sides...the judge has had remanded all the eight arrested top leaders of QNET in mumbai in police custody till the 29th...

And more and more people from QNET are now coming forward and giving statements to the EOW mumbai and joining my case as a "witness"...QNET days are numbered now...the deck of cards is collapsing..

Press Statement from QNET regarding the “Mumbai Challenge”

Friends,

QNET send this press release to all media houses all over India for clarification, since NO ONE cared to print it, I am releasing it with my comments added at end of each para which debunk this ridiculous press release…

23 November 2013

This statement is in response to various media reports within the last 24 hours wherein various aspects about the ongoing investigation on QNET in India have been incorrectly reported.

QNET expressly through this PRESS STATEMENT clarifies the following:
1. It has been alleged that QNET operates a “binary” compensation plan. This is not correct. QNET operates a “hybrid” compensation plan.
“Oh yea…HYBRID what??? One more mythological term like the non-existent HYDROUS WATER”

2. It has been alleged that the “binary” compensation plan is banned in India. This is not correct. There is no law that currently legislates this industry as-of-now. Furthermore there is no legislation banning the “binary” or any other compensation plan.
“Oh this is the best so QNET does not operate a BINARY plan in India..well what you been teaching your IR,s all these years then….crap like F2, F2 F2, F2 F2, F2…really QNET FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT…aur kitna Fakenogey merey bhai:

3. It is alleged that 8 company executives have been arrested. This is not correct. The arrested individuals are QNET ‘Distributors’ or ‘Independent Representatives’ (IR’s - as they are referred to in QNET).
“yea yea DISOWN your own Grand Up Lines….this way QNET will try to get away by putting all blame on the IE,s…Come on QNETERS see how the company is disowning its own IR,s”

4. It has been alleged that the 8 arrested QNET IR’s have earned their commissions through “referrals” or “recruitment” pointing the business to be a ‘Pyramid Scheme’. This is not correct. QNET pays commissions on ‘SALE’ of products only. Numerous supporting documents have been already provided to the Mumbai EOW confirming this.
“If this is true then why has EOW arrested the TOP IR,s? If QNET is true why does it not initiate action against EOW..why has QUESTNET/QNET not challenged the chargesheet filed by Chennai CB CID”

5. It has been alleged that QNET draws “investment” from members. This is not correct. QNET is not in the business of "investments" but only conducts sales of products for which commissions are earned.
“One sting operation was aired by Bloomberg exposing how QNET is pitched as a investment scheme..more sting operations will be aired soon. exposing the ugly under belly of QNET and exposing all the TOP IR,s in India….come on guys join the investigation as a witness or you all will also be in police net or you will have to abscond from India like Dev Wadhwani,Arti Dighe and the grand father of all MICHAEL FERIERA.”

6. It has been alleged that only the IR’s on top make money. This is not correct. QNET provides equal opportunity to everybody to earn commissions.
“oh yea yea…only 0.03 % of QNETERS actually made some money worth mention. While more then 99% lost their initial money invested.”

I Hope QNETERS will at least wake up now and join the investigation and help the Government like other IR,s have done in Mumbai. It is your choice you want to be on the side of the law or against it. Regarding MONEY oh well you wont be making any of
it any ways because the company is shutting down 

MICHAEL FIRRIRA, YOU ARE MARK FERRIRA'S "UPLINE" - HOW CAN YOU CLAIM YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH QNET

http://www.the-v.net/isb-comrade-vc-mark...

MICHAEL FIRREIRA, YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT QNET ACTIVITIES? - WHAT IS YOUR SON MARK FERRIRA DOING IN QNET THEN? YOUR SON SAY YOU INTRODUCED HIM TO THE "WONDERFUL WORLD OF QNET"

http://www.the-v.net/isb-comrade-vc-mark...

Coming from a wealthy family, V Council (VC) Mark Ferreira had almost everything he could ask for. But, behind all the material things that money could buy him, his life then was sad and destination less, “I had a great life, money wise, but was arrogant and need[ed] to learn life’s lessons. “ VC Mark added.

One day, his father VC Michael Ferreira introduced him to the wonderful world of Network Marketing and showed him the best plan in the industry, and that plan was from QNet. “Initially [I] was very skeptical and was closed [minded]. Told him I would see [the] plan and when I saw the plan, my perception of the whole idea changed. I apologized to him [Michael] and began full time since Day 1.”

And as a full time International Representative for QNet, Mark has embraced the InService Brotherhood. The brotherhood has taught him the things he was lacking in order for him to live his best life, ever. And that was humility. “All [processes] are special in their own way. For me though, the “click clack” surpasses all and helps me focus and also confrontation without conflict. I use this daily.” Mark confesses.

When asked what his motto in life was, he had three things to say “1.Winning is a habit. 2. Live out of the glory of your imagination not your memory. 3. Live as though it is the last day of your life, but learn as if you are going to live forever.”

A true champion that he is, Mark used to be a Tennis ace competing around the world. Today, Mark has brought that characteristic with him, all thanks to his mentor, his tennis coach, Charles “Chuck” Boyle, “He was my hero and guide in my life who taught me life’s values from an early age. I pay tribute to his memory by living what he taught me 30 years ago, NOW. The values of Disciplined Though, Disciplined Action leads to Disciplined result through RAF. Responsibility, Accountability within a Framework.”

With his unparalleled spirit and drive, VC Mark Ferreira is surely taking this industry by storm and we have no doubt that he has his eyes set on the prize.

Where is Dev Wadwani, Malkom Desai, Manish Rawat, Pooja Gwalani, Manish Gwalani, Pallavi Walia Raj aka Infinity PAllavi, Bimal Raj, Amar Gutta, Biplob Bora, Shweta Bora ... list is endless ... just take a look at Dev Wadhwani's freind's list on facebook .... 3000 plus IR's to chase ... lot of work to do ...

Great job Gurupreet !!!!

Eight TOP IR,s of Qnet arrested and remanded to police custody in mumbai today...

Today all the eight IR,s of QNET India were presented in court for seeking "police remand".

I argued in person and aided the state in its case against qnet while the IR,s were represented by Mr.Abad Ponda.

The case of the defense was that these are "innocent people" who do not have anything to do with what ever criminal activities of Questnet/Qnet etc.

I pointed out to the court that these people have been indulging in the act of propagating this illegal money circulation scheme in spite of having full knowledge that the whole business has been "charge sheeted" before also.

After hearing the arguments and looking at the gravity and the extent of the SCAM the honorable judge has remanded all the eight arrested accused to police custody.

The names of the people arrested and remanded to police custody are as under...

Vivek Kumar Singh

Shashi Bushanrameshwar Pandey

Namrata Pandey

Sabina Mathews

Vijay Mathews

Jagdev Singh Parmar

Rohit Chandra

Mahesh Bhansali

Here i would like to add that this should come as a LESSON to all those people who are still actively propagating and promoting this illegal scheme any where in India that this business is "charge sheeted" and to be part of it in any way is a criminal offence in our India.

Please do not think that since no FIR is registered in your state/city means nothing will happen.

I once again appeal to all IR,s to disown this SCAM and come forward and help the police by becoming a witness before you land up in trouble.

The TOP guys are all enjoying in DUBAI/Malaysia etc at the cost of money looted out of India, while the C category IR,s have been left behind to face the police action, why do you all want to be part of this CRIME?

Is MONEY THE ONLY THING IN LIFE?

Please note that becoming a member of this money circulation scheme itself is a CRIME as the whole business has been charge sheeted in India already.

Think and decided...join the investigation as a "witness" before you land up in police net.Become a "witness" and register your statement with the eow/mumbai and be safe then sorry...

MICHAEL FIRRERA - RETURN YOUR PADMA BHUSHAN

Kindly see the following for your perusal. 8 more Arrests have happened in QNet. Michael Firrera the Billiards Champion and Padmabushan Holder is 80% holder of QNet India. Perhaps, you could shed some light:

Kindly see the following links:

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.
The arrested members allegedly made between Rs 40 lakh to Rs 2.5 crore through Vihaan. The agency has already frozen around Rs 100 crore of the company’s members in various bank accounts till now.

Hello Friends, since i got my FIR registered in the month of August, it has been three months QNET has failed to re-start the "SYSTEM" In mumbai. First they had to cancel their grand celebration planned to be held at "Holy Spirit Hospital" Hall in andheri-east.

Later these QNETERS tried to do a "system" in Islam Gymkhana and had to cancel that also.

It is said that the third time these people placed advertisements in newspapers of mumbai to invite people into investing into a "Business Opportunity" and were holding that meeting in hall in dadar-west.

It is being said that today morning crime branch officials raided several residential places of QNET leaders all over mumbai and the following were detained/arrested.

Shashi Bushanrameshwar Pandey

All the above people have shared the "proceeds of crime" and huge amounts of money had been transferred into their bank accounts under the guise of "commissions paid". Sources say these huge amounts of money has been raised by running a money circulation scheme in India under the guise of "ecommerce" by QNET India.

It is now upto the rest of QNET IR,s to decide whether they want to continue to be part of this crime of "money circulation scheme" or they want to join the investigation and help the police and become "Government Aprovers".

It is your choice you want to become a accused in this crime, because some day some one will surely report you, it is better to give up this "white collared crime" now itself, then land into trouble later.

I appeal to you all IR,s to give this anti national activity once again, Please do not forget this is not happening the first time. Previously also in chennai assets,properties,cars, bank accounts etc of all TOP IR,s and team leaders were sealed by chennai CID.

First they ignore you,
then they laugh at you,
then they fight you,
then you win.

Whats Breaking News in it ...... Since the day BioDisc was introduced , there have been people who beleive it & people who just take it as another glass piece .... Does not matter yaar... A person like me too thought the same & kept it for 4 months in my cupboard But later just tried for the sake & found the results myself working .... So have no choice but to dilute my intelligence & beleive a Progonos Lab approved product.

Choice is yours to beleive after seeing & speaking to testimonies or Just THINKING You are the Greatest on this planet...

Suggest you to attend one of the training & demo sessions which will be happening soon ..... Keep waiting until then ...

Keep making stories bro ..... I really fail to understand why the common logic is not being used ....

Trying to divert minds ......

see you are coming up with one one product stories ... trying to prove yourself ..... Why ?? .. even after doing your detailed study on these products you are emphasising on your own stories & putting the negative thoughts in mind.....

COUPLE WITH DIFFICULTY CONCEIVING…. HAVE BABY AFTER USING BIO DISC...

Earlier today, a couple from Mumbai, with much love and anticipation, welcomed a healthy little bundle of joy into the world.

Theirs is a story of ups and downs, having tried for the last 15 years to conceive a baby of their own. They had given up all hope and were about to call it quits, both in the bedroom as well as in the relationship, when out of the blue the husband received a phone call from an old childhood buddy of his who was in town, visiting.

Please read the complete story on http://qnetexposed.com/couple-with-diffi...

http://qnetexposed.com/ Check out the exact Qnet presentation that every qnet upline / senior partner will give to every single prospect/murga that comes to the table. Don't be foolish enough to believe in this hogwash presentation. It's built particularly to lure you into investing/spending your hard earned money for a useless product and then making you sell the same scheme to your loved ones/ friends/ acquaintances.

Thanks for saying it for self that Leaders are at Dubai, do you think they are gone on vacations there ... No, But to expand biz as this is the max bonanza benefit season & this has been normal all throughout the year.... which i think you are trying to hype up showing that they have ran away .

All will be back soon & what freezing of accounts are you talking about, Guess you dont even know QNET Income is TDS Deducted as per RBI rules ie. every IR pays Taxes before getting their commission in hand/account. Guess you must try & work a little & see for yourself as a proof of getting Tax deducted income.

Do not know from when RBI or Income tax of India has started collecting Tax from Scam company ? Isn't it ?

Your point of Chennai Challenge faced by QNET & the fact of QNET still running successfully today shows that QNET has stood firm even at the most difficult times. This is only because of the responsibility QNET carries for each Indian IR.

Again urge you to please use your deep knowledge exploring habit for searching the right information & then speak up... for welfare of man kind.

I am sure you do come across the good & genuine facts also which you are not even trying to appreciate about. Wish you had atleast one good pointer mentioned in your posts would have atleast shown your genuineness.

The fact of myself being the same named is really a shame for me at the moment. Calling Fake will not make it Fake,like your posts or opinions.

Thinking of Destroying is Next to Evil.

Truth is final & which will remain eternal always ......

TOP leaders of QNET INDIA start quitting QNET business stating family problems after bank accounts are being frozen.Most of them are in DUBAI (Yes we got details), but how will that help?

For the record when the "chennai challenge" took place chennai police not only sealed bank accounts but also homes, property, cars etc bought using "money from crime proceeds" i.e money earned as "commission in QUESTNET BUSINESS"

History will repeat it self..law will takes it course...next assets purchased out of commission earned will be sealed?

@Gurpreet if your real name is "gurpreet" i dare you to share your IR code here, let me check if you are true, or i can safely assume what i said is true i.e you are using fake name and other things i stated regarding your parental lineage... are you a MAN enough...common share your IR code warna...go and SMELL THE SHIT
Top 5 things I hate about Qnet:

I actually wrote this post while listening to a Qnet presentation to one of my colleagues at work … I hope non of the Qnet people will take it personal as many of them do

1. How materialistic it transforms people . with Qnet you only care about the $$$

2. No one really cares about the products they are selling .. even the guy who was doing the presentation next to me, he didn’t really know much about the products. the guy allocated around 10% of the time talking about the products and the rest talking about gaining amazing profit from qnet with all the financial independence it provides

3. Mind trick games the IRs play during the presentations ( am doing this for you not for me , i only invite people who are willing to work not anyone ,.....)

4. After you enter Qnet .. you see everyone(Family, Friend , someone u barely know) as a potential customer or victim

5. Trying to associate Qnet to any big organization or event … before that there was Microsoft which didn’t go any further than installing their web servers then they stopped mentioning it .. today I heard the guy saying that they are the official sponsor of "Formula 1" !!! … I googled it and it turned out they are sponsors for the Virgin racing Team ... it just shows how desperately they seek some credibility

Qnet or any other "network marketing" thing (because it is not a job) is made for the losers in life. With all dissrespect, anybody who joins any of those crap company's is a lame loser. Those presenters just throw big "emotion driving" words like: Faith, Believe, Success, Dream...and use quotes from people who are REALY difference makers in the world (none of which are Qneters of course!) And they use those quotes or words to manipulate the crowd.

I am really sad the world has become so materialistic and all people care about is money....or what u can achieve with paper (that is money)!

Fulfill your dreams by joining Qnet! How can people live with themselves by selling "nothing" to people and claim that it will change ur life? That's just wrong! Don't be a slave to money! Use ur brain and don't take the "seemingly easy" way to achieve ur pathetic dreams!
Work hard, study hard, train hard, dream of doing something that will help u, ur community and humanity! Don't dream of making X amount of money!

At the end of the day, its ur choice. U choose if u want to live ur life being a slave for money, always look for the easy way out, don't have any humane values in life and stop using ur brain for the rest of ur life just to achieve ur "materialistic" dreams, then that's ur choice....use ur brain, don't let people use/abuse yours.

I hope this thing collapses soon. Its nothing but mind games for laundering your money away. For losers who are part of Qnet I despise you and hope you realize what an idiot you have been after Qnet collapses.

@ FAKE Gurpreet, well the hi-fi lawyers of QNET have had the taste of my COURAGE in courts(r u one of them?)

Regarding FORB@$ article yes it is a perfect example of “Yellow Journalism” and I have evidence to prove it, but then that is NOT MY DAMN CASE, My case against QNET is that of “Operating a money circulation scheme in India” and they have already been CHARGE SHEETED before for the same and as per Government records Vijay Easwaran is a ABSCONDING ACCUSED ;) (Oh god how I love to use that word a ABSCONDING ACCUSED for Vijay Easwaran).

FORB@$ is above the crime branch/madras high court and supreme court of India where QNET/QUESTNET has lost everything? Yea yea …

Oh yes WHOIS IS VIJAY EASWARAN…let me answer that for u again….

He is an ABSCONDING ACCUSED and wanted in INDIA for running “money circulation scheme” and cheating thousands of people in India. He is a WHITE COLLARED CRIMINAL who has A BRAIN for devising SCAMS and re-packaging the same OLD SHIT again and again, if he is so RIGHT, why does he not comes to India and face the trials..why is he ABSCODING?. He is just a DAMN CHEATER NOTHING ELSE.

At one hand there is Sucheta Dalal who has been awarded “Padma Shree” for exposing scams like HARSHAD MEHTA etc and other HAND you have the ABSCONDING ACCUSED VIJAY EASWARAN…wanted for CHEATING AND 420 in India…YES readers are smart enough and they know the FACTS and that’s the reason QNET is in this MESS now, what I am doing is getting support because everyone knows what a BIG CHEAT ABSCONDING ACCUSED VIJAY EASWARAN is.

Mr. FAKE Gurpreet you THINK you have the BIRTH RIGHT TO COME HERE AND ASK QUESTIONS? How come you have not answered a single of my question then…PROVE it your real name is “Gurpreet” share your IR code and let everyone know you are real or as we all know…you are a FAKE like QNET and its BIG CHEAT ABSCONDING ACCUSED VIJAY EASWARAN is.

Answer my question and I will let you know “how many lives I have touched”. I am not a SCAMSTER like you guys and that BIG CHEAT ABSCONDING ACCUSED VIJAY EASWARAN is.

Hum Desh Sevak hain…Desh kae gaddar nahi like U guys…U will never understand the only thing you guys can do is…F2, Find two bakras..find veeru and jai..but for HOW LONG…the company is winding up and will soon vanish in a few days..then what will you do?

You all will be left back to face criminal cases like it happened in CHENNAI before.. your properties, cars etc will be seized and frozen by police authorities , you all will be added as ACCUSED and the only option you all will have will be to face trial as a ACCUSED or turn GOVERNMENT APPROVER.

What I am stating here is not something new, it has happened before and history is just repeating it self…now is the time for the IR,s to decide..they want to be called as ACCUSED or they should stop propagating this SCAM further and join in the investigation and help the law enforcement agencies and turn in GOVERNMENT APPROVER before they are named as accused in police cases.
Now Absconding Accused Vijay Easwaran disowns "QNET INDIA"

These are experts taken from the interview of Absconding Accused Vijay Easwaran

“QNET operates in India through a Franchise company hence Absconding Accused Vijay Easwaran has no involvement in it, he is neither a director nor a shareholder of Qnet India.

He further threatened to seriously think of Pulling out of INDIA.”

BOSS, you are talking of pulling out? YOU and YOUR SCAM will be KICKED out of my nation INDIA wait and see and this will not be the FIRST TIME that you are KICKED at your FAT A$$ and thrown out, will follow your SHAM company and expose it till you call it QUITS, the sooner you PULL OUT the better warna you know that saying “Badey Beaabroo ho kar terey dar sae nikley”

So Mr. Absconding Accused Vijay Easwaran if you have a BRAIN to think of new new SCAMS there are people who can work together to EXPOSE your SCAMS...r u ready for it now….hahaha
QNET QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS !!

In my answers, I will try and explain whatever little I know about Qnet. I have a close friend having been tricked into becoming a member and also got know a few other people. Since I was very curious about the Qnet Scam I researched and got my answers. Its a pyramid scheme in the disguise of an MLM business model.

Q1. What is the Business of Qnet?

The business of Qnet is to sell the epic dream of 'Work for a couple of years and earn forever, doing nothing'. Needless to say, there are millions of people across the world, who buy into this dream.

To become a Qnet member you have to buy products between INR 40K -120K. Qnet sells its products at crazy margins, for eg my friend bought their bestselling product A Healing Biodisc 2for INR 22,000. In reality, it is just a 3 Inch glass disc that can be procured from China for nothing more than INR 100.

The gross margin is whopping 21900%.


Q2. What is the greatness in products that Qnet sells?

The greatness of a Qnet product is that it contains magic. Or atleast a promise of magic.

And most magic is perceived rather than reality. How do you know if a health shake you just drank increased your immunity or not. The Qnet members who buy these products believe in them because THEY WANT to believe in them.

I will give you a few examples. The top 3 categories for Qnet are Energy, Nutrition and Personal Care.

A Qnet biodisc for INR 22K is supposed you make you feel fresh. There is no measurable/ visible effect of freshness. You might as well buy a Tibetan ring for INR 250 that also claims to make you feel fresh.

Similarly Qnet's Nutriplus protein powder costs INR 4000 and improves immunity and builds Muscle. But one can also buy a horlicks for the same and it costs only 150 bucks.

You get the drift.



Q3. Who makes these products that Qnet sells and what is the relationship of Qnet the Company and the manufacturers? Is it Vendor - Principal, Self Manufactured or a combination of Both?

It’s a combination of both.

In my discussions with one of the estranged senior member I got to know that most of their products are manufactured or sourced from China. A few products are sourced from other countries as well.

For their travel package product they have a couple of self owned resorts in Thailand.


Q4. What margins are possible to be earned on such products? Answer with world examples of similar industries and quote some publicly available data.

Product level gross margins are upwards of 10000% in most products.

At a company level the cost structure looks like follows
As a percentage of revenues, 20% are operating expenses. MLM companies are heavy on marketing and sponsorships, international and local seminar with celebrities, promotions, IT, Trainings etc. For eg Qnet is associated with F1, Donates to Unesco, Is the sponsor of Indian Davios cup team etc.

40% is distributed as commissions between the 'Upchain' members. All those people who have led to this member are paid. People higher in the chain get paid less per transaction but will have higher cumulative earnings and vice versa. Qnet follows a MLM model known as Binary Tree Structure. The commission models can be disguised in many forms but broadly the payouts remain the same.

Remaining 40% is operating profit of the company (Qnet)
These percentages (20:40:40) differ for different companies. Qnet chooses to spend more money on marketing and promotions to increase its member network. With time it is becoming increasingly difficult for MLM companies to make members. A decade back a large MLM company could have done with (10:30:60) model.

ROIs, ofcourse are crazy since this business is not capital intensive. Its scam intensive :)

I am surprised on how media and government are quiet on such large scale scams.


The product level margins are as follows

A Biodisc2 Costs, INR 100 and selss for INR 22,000
A Nutriplus costs INR 4000, comparable Horlicks costs INR 150

Qnet will debate that their product has some magic that horlicks does not have , but it’s just sales talk.



Q5. How can these margins be remunerative by sharing across multiple levels of people? If margins are finite, how can sharing be infinite? (It is possible

A successful binary tree model MLM company can reach 1 million members in 24-28 layers and 10 million members in 30-34 layers.

If a company has say 10 million members, the commission from a new transaction will be divided between 30-40 members in the Upline. Its infinite only in theory.The commission models can be disguised in many forms but broadly the payouts remain the same

Before starting Qnet promoters used to run a company called Goldquest , which is a known scam and is now banned in many countries. Most MLM companies have a shelf life of 5-10 years. Once the pace of signing up new members becomes really slow, the promoters will start a new company. They can either wind up the current company or let it linger on for sometime.
After winding up, promoters usually restart with a new product and new name. Their top distributors move with top 3-5 layers of downline to the new company. This is exactly what has happened with Glodquest promoters started Qnet.

I also want to touch upon the phenomenon of Qnet members trying to make a new member. We all have been approached by some friend/ relative for some MLM company or the other. An active MLM member does not look at his relationships as relatives and friends, he only starts looking at them as downlines. He also manages to convince a few only to realise a few months/ years later that he has lost/ strained that valuable relationship.A newbie however is different, he is still trying to understand the people and business and once he realises the truth drops out of the chain. 50% of the MLM members become inactive in the first year itself.

The members do not themselves believe that they are doing something wrong because of 2 reasons. Firstly they don’t know that they are part of larger scam and take it to be genuine business proposition. Secondly even if they know about the scam they don’t mind since they see a few senior members making a lot of money. The senior members are ‘demi god’ figures in the network. They are idolised and spoken about in every conference. What members fail to realise is that big money is only made by people who are way higher up in the chain and this money will keep flowing in to them only for a few years till that scam survives. After a few years these distributors will move along with their key team to another company and start rebuilding their downlines.

So the mantra is that if someone really wants to make money from the MLM scam, they need to ensure that they are early members of the chain in their country, Milk the cow and then move on to the next new company and product.

This can only be avoided by an active media and government. MLM is highly regulated in western countries and hence you will see that most fraud MLM companies are active in Asia/ MENA region.



6. Why can’t Qnet sell its great products (with its great margins like Walmart) and become the biggest retailer in the world?

Please refer answer 2.

There is no real need for these products, they are bought not for their benefits but to as a ticket to the evil /epic dream.

Ans 7) In the disguise of empowering people, Qnet only fools them. Even the acts of good faith are done to gain publicity.

Ans 8) In last decade or two network marketing has become an evil word, the mention of the same itself will make people run away. The Qnet members are trained not to give any indication of the business early on to a prospect. The real sales pitch only comes from a senior member in a face to face meeting.

Ans 9) Most fraud MLM companies sell dubious products at obscene prices. These products can only be sold by push that comes naturally in Pester Marketing. Many members buy a product simple because someone who is dear to them has harassed them enough to buy it. These members are not even looking at this buying to become a part of the network. The only other people who buy these product for logical reasons are members looking for further income.

Ans 10) I think his article answers your question Page onhttp://www.howstuffworks.com/pyramid-sch....

Author Supreet Singh

WAKE UP AND SMELL THE SHIT LA!!
Mr Thimiri, the so-called CEO of the controversial MLM, owns registered trademark of QNet in India. He also admitted before the High Court that his company Transview imports and manufactures products for selling to Vihaan Direct, the official franchisee of QNet in India

The case of QNet, the Hong Kong-based controversial multi-level marketing (MLM) operator is taking new twists every day even as all top executives of the company in India decided to stay hidden citing a case filed with economics offences wing (EOW) of Mumbai police.

Interestingly, Suresh Thimiri, who is often touted as QNet India's chief executive and had denied any relationship with QNet or any of its representatives, owns the 'QNet' trademark in India through his company Transview Enterprises Pvt Ltd! See the images below obtained from Trade Marks Registry. Mr Thimiri's company has filed class 42 application for 'QNet' trademark in India.

As Moneylife reported, Mr Thimiri, in his anticipatory bail application filed on 19 August 2013, before additional session Judge DA Dholkia had said, "The applicant (Thimiri) does not hold any sort of relation neither with the Company (QNet) nor its representative (including Eswaran and Vihaan Direct Selling India Pvt Ltd) against whom the Complainthas been lodged by the respondents (Gurupreet Singh Anand) in Oshiwara Police Station." (See image below)

Transview Enterprises is an associate company of Vihaan Direct Selling that handles QNet's MLM operations in India since 14 April 2012. Before that QNet's Indian operations were controlled by QuestNet Enterprises (India) Pvt Ltd, a company registered at Chennai. QuestNet Enterprises was operating QNEI eStore, a platform from where IRs, which is how the investor-dealers of QNet are described, could place orders or buy products and also enrol new recruits. After launching Vihaan, the company asked all its old IRs to mandatorily register under the new business name in order to receive their commissions. Vihaan is a direct selling agent of QNet and had done large financial transactions with Mr Thimiri's company Transview. This made the EOW to freeze Transview's bank accounts in ING Vyasa Bank at Bengaluru.

Mr Thimiri, who in his anticipatory bail application had denied any relations with QNet and its representative, has ratified deals between Vihaan Direct Selling and his company, Transview Enterprise.

In his application before the Bombay High Court to defreeze bank accounts of Transview Enterprise, Mr Thimiri said, "The applicant (Mr Thimiri, director of Transview) is in the business of importing and manufacturing products such as Bio Discs, Chi Pendants, Nutriplus, Homepure, watches and various other products and sells the same to M/s Vihaan Direct Selling India Pvt Ltd."

These revelations may come as shocker to few die-hard independent representatives (IRs) of QNet as they strongly believe that all QNet products are imported! From where? Only the company knew about, as it is kept hidden from public view. Anyway, now with Mr Thimiri's clarification about 'manufacturing' of QNet products, these IRs will know the truth.

After perusing both the applications filed by Mr Thimiri before Courts, here are some facts...

1. Mr Thimiri accepted that Transview does not have any relations with Vihaan Direct Selling except supplier-purchaser relations.

2. Mr Thimiri's Transview Enterprise owns the QNet trademark (used exclusively by Vihaan) in India.

3. Vihaan Direct Selling is QNet Ltd's franchisee that carries the QNet brand name in India. After launching Vihaan, the company asked all its old IRs to mandatorily register under the new business name in order to receive their commissions.

4. Mr Thimiri has been named as accused in the report submitted by the EOW before the Sessions Court, Mumbai. It states: “The accused Suresh Thimiri has played active role in running the Money Circulation Scheme under the guise of investment opportunity and the income earned by the participants is based on enrolment of new members into the scheme.”

While Mr Thimiri is trying very hard to de-link himself from the probe, his own submissions are revealing truth. Vihaan Direct Selling carries 'QNet' brand in India that is registered trademark of Transview Enterprise of Mr Thimiri. The submission made by Mr Thimiri before the Courts only underline his links with QNet in India.

Another interesting aspect in the whole episode is all top officials (?) of QNet India do not want to reveal their identity and remain hidden. We repeatedly sent emails to the company's official PR agency and also some officials from its parent QI group.

We asked "Can you please tell us about Mr Suresh Thimiri, who is often labelled as India CEO of QNet on QNetIndia's Facebook page. Is Mr Thimiri the CEO of QNet in India? If not, then who heads QNet in India and who are the top management people? In addition, we would like to know the relations, if any, between QNet, Vihaan Direct Selling India Pvt Ltd and Transview Enterprises Pvt Ltd."

Here is the reply we received from the PR agency of QNet India...
"This is apropos our telecon now a while back and in furtherance to our earlier discussion which took place on the 30 August 2013 with regards to our client QNET, referred by you in your email. On your request, we reached out to our client again today, but they were of the same considered view that since the matter is still sub-judice, they would not like to give any comments for the time being. We will be happy to reach out to you should our client decide to make any statement to the media in the future."

Modus Operandi of Qnet -

You will get a call from a friend / Colleague whose not so close / distant for years...informal chat converted to business proposal .
The person who's being called is a " Prospect " which needs to be converted to " Plan ". The word Plan depicts it al l- it's planned to dupe you !!!
Normal conversation for a business invitation - " I am indulged in an International Business for financial freedom ( Kitane Din Naukri karta ..?? for how long will serve others ?? etc etc) .We are into expansion phase, one of my senior business partner from.... place will be visiting in this regards by tomorrow / day after tomm.
Can i book an appointment with him / her ?? But you must be punctual as time of seniors is very precious ( Bullshit..these crooks are lying there day n nite ).
Pls bring ur CV also as proper interview will be conducted , if u get selected u'll be offered this Opportunity..no promises."

Once the appointment fixed u'll be called at Coffee shops like CCD /Barista etc etc to impose on Freedom from office envrionment ( fact is qnet does not have place to sit anywhere) . Once u reach to place 2-3 so called seniors will sit along with u ( as taught by seniors when a plan arrives ratio of Plan & IRs should always be +1 i.e. if plan is single person then atleast 2 IRS should b present , if 2 persons attending the plan IR strngth should be more than 2 ...this is to create psychological pressure / stress on "Plan" )

Before conversation starts ur dear friend will "edify" the senior which elaborates on how rich he/she in professional career with handsome experience of years in Corporate world etc etc. Senior business partner starts with own well crafted story which which throw light on Banking/ Insurance/Telecom/media world scenario 7 then his own Organisation wherein his Boss / Colleagues lost their jobs with tagline ..though i was secure i've started looking for an opportunity.Then the story goes roller coaster way how he /she introduced in this business passing thru below questionaire -

1,Whether u r willing to Learn - very popular example qouted will be of Sachin Tendulakar palying Golf after his retirement
2.Time - 20 hrs a week
3.Constraint about any specific Industry
4.Investment - 3-7 lacs - One time , no recurring charges

The entire conversation is well drafted, rehearsed & executed...result u may be convinced to join it..
But there won't be any informtion imparted untill u commit to join with handsome money..

Robbert Kiyosaki's 4 Quadrant theory...details of Company..it's subdiaries.e-commerce way of business...DOT.com balloon bursts..etc.
Assurance of money back in 6 months..double in 1 year..Millionare (Crorepati) in 2-3 years...financial freedom by creating abundance..RYTHM..

After 2-3 hours u'll land up saying Yes with confused mind state as "What am i suppose to do in this business "

Nobody will answer this question till u join...after meeting same invitee friend will hug & assure u " You just come, will work as team ( Main Hoon Na )".
Now ur friend will start chasing u till he recieves entire money ...here starts surprises..u'll be asked to pay for Books/DVDs ( which all r pirated ones)
enrollment fees for seminars / systems etc etc.

The Quality & Price of product purchased as assured by ur mates ( Now he'll be ur Upline & u'll be his downline forever ) ,( if u r fortunate enough to receive Product ).

After joining Mathematics will be explained which is jugglery of numbers take u to Crorepati destination in some time.
Gist of the entire session will be " since u r trapped , if u wish to recover ur money u have to trap others" .

Though there will be little change in the script / venue etc but the intent will be identical to decieve u !!
It's a vicious circle of chasing dreams by duping ur own near n dear ones .

Do not indulge urself & others in this sham so called e-commerce busness !!!

At the age of 67, I had achieved all I set out to do and was considered eminently successful by the usual parameters – beautiful home, a wonderful family, the mandatory gold Rolex with diamonds, several cars, a great farm house, no dearth of money et al. Then the opportunity offered by Dato Vijay Easwaran’s remarkable organisation came my way. It was as if I was struck by a thunderbolt. It was, as they say, a game changer for me. I jumped in with all guns blazing and in a relatively short time, thorough hard work, passion and commitment to the cause, I was able not only to enlarge my own options in life, but also to be the instrument of change for literally hundreds of thousands orf ordinary – and not so ordinary – folk. All I can say is thank the Lord that a man of the vision, calibre, character, and compassion of Dato Vijay has walked this earth.

Top 5 things I hate about Qnet:

I actually wrote this post while listening to a Qnet presentation to one of my colleagues at work … I hope non of the Qnet people will take it personal as many of them do

1. How materialistic it transforms people . with Qnet you only care about the $$$

2. No one really cares about the products they are selling .. even the guy who was doing the presentation next to me, he didn’t really know much about the products. the guy allocated around 10% of the time talking about the products and the rest talking about gaining amazing profit from qnet with all the financial independence it provides

3. Mind trick games the IRs play during the presentations ( am doing this for you not for me , i only invite people who are willing to work not anyone ,.....)

4. After you enter Qnet .. you see everyone(Family, Friend , someone u barely know) as a potential customer or victim

5. Trying to associate Qnet to any big organization or event … before that there was Microsoft which didn’t go any further than installing their web servers then they stopped mentioning it .. today I heard the guy saying that they are the official sponsor of "Formula 1" !!! … I googled it and it turned out they are sponsors for the Virgin racing Team ... it just shows how desperately they seek some credibility

Qnet or any other "network marketing" thing (because it is not a job) is made for the losers in life. With all dissrespect, anybody who joins any of those crap company's is a lame loser. Those presenters just throw big "emotion driving" words like: Faith, Believe, Success, Dream...and use quotes from people who are REALY difference makers in the world (none of which are Qneters of course!) And they use those quotes or words to manipulate the crowd.

I am really sad the world has become so materialistic and all people care about is money....or what u can achieve with paper (that is money)!

Fulfill your dreams by joining Qnet! How can people live with themselves by selling "nothing" to people and claim that it will change ur life? That's just wrong! Don't be a slave to money! Use ur brain and don't take the "seemingly easy" way to achieve ur pathetic dreams!
Work hard, study hard, train hard, dream of doing something that will help u, ur community and humanity! Don't dream of making X amount of money!

At the end of the day, its ur choice. U choose if u want to live ur life being a slave for money, always look for the easy way out, don't have any humane values in life and stop using ur brain for the rest of ur life just to achieve ur "materialistic" dreams, then that's ur choice....use ur brain, don't let people use/abuse yours.

I hope this thing collapses soon. Its nothing but mind games for laundering your money away. For losers who are part of Qnet I despise you and hope you realize what an idiot you have been after Qnet collapses.

@ FAKE Gurpreet, well the hi-fi lawyers of QNET have had the taste of my COURAGE in courts(r u one of them?)

Regarding FORB@$ article yes it is a perfect example of “Yellow Journalism” and I have evidence to prove it, but then that is NOT MY DAMN CASE, My case against QNET is that of “Operating a money circulation scheme in India” and they have already been CHARGE SHEETED before for the same and as per Government records Vijay Easwaran is a ABSCONDING ACCUSED ;) (Oh god how I love to use that word a ABSCONDING ACCUSED for Vijay Easwaran).

FORB@$ is above the crime branch/madras high court and supreme court of India where QNET/QUESTNET has lost everything? Yea yea …

Oh yes WHOIS IS VIJAY EASWARAN…let me answer that for u again….

He is an ABSCONDING ACCUSED and wanted in INDIA for running “money circulation scheme” and cheating thousands of people in India. He is a WHITE COLLARED CRIMINAL who has A BRAIN for devising SCAMS and re-packaging the same OLD SHIT again and again, if he is so RIGHT, why does he not comes to India and face the trials..why is he ABSCODING?. He is just a DAMN CHEATER NOTHING ELSE.

At one hand there is Sucheta Dalal who has been awarded “Padma Shree” for exposing scams like HARSHAD MEHTA etc and other HAND you have the ABSCONDING ACCUSED VIJAY EASWARAN…wanted for CHEATING AND 420 in India…YES readers are smart enough and they know the FACTS and that’s the reason QNET is in this MESS now, what I am doing is getting support because everyone knows what a BIG CHEAT ABSCONDING ACCUSED VIJAY EASWARAN is.

Mr. FAKE Gurpreet you THINK you have the BIRTH RIGHT TO COME HERE AND ASK QUESTIONS? How come you have not answered a single of my question then…PROVE it your real name is “Gurpreet” share your IR code and let everyone know you are real or as we all know…you are a FAKE like QNET and its BIG CHEAT ABSCONDING ACCUSED VIJAY EASWARAN is.

Answer my question and I will let you know “how many lives I have touched”. I am not a SCAMSTER like you guys and that BIG CHEAT ABSCONDING ACCUSED VIJAY EASWARAN is.

Hum Desh Sevak hain…Desh kae gaddar nahi like U guys…U will never understand the only thing you guys can do is…F2, Find two bakras..find veeru and jai..but for HOW LONG…the company is winding up and will soon vanish in a few days..then what will you do?

You all will be left back to face criminal cases like it happened in CHENNAI before.. your properties, cars etc will be seized and frozen by police authorities , you all will be added as ACCUSED and the only option you all will have will be to face trial as a ACCUSED or turn GOVERNMENT APPROVER.

What I am stating here is not something new, it has happened before and history is just repeating it self…now is the time for the IR,s to decide..they want to be called as ACCUSED or they should stop propagating this SCAM further and join in the investigation and help the law enforcement agencies and turn in GOVERNMENT APPROVER before they are named as accused in police cases.
Now Absconding Accused Vijay Easwaran disowns "QNET INDIA"

These are experts taken from the interview of Absconding Accused Vijay Easwaran

“QNET operates in India through a Franchise company hence Absconding Accused Vijay Easwaran has no involvement in it, he is neither a director nor a shareholder of Qnet India.

He further threatened to seriously think of Pulling out of INDIA.”

BOSS, you are talking of pulling out? YOU and YOUR SCAM will be KICKED out of my nation INDIA wait and see and this will not be the FIRST TIME that you are KICKED at your FAT A$$ and thrown out, will follow your SHAM company and expose it till you call it QUITS, the sooner you PULL OUT the better warna you know that saying “Badey Beaabroo ho kar terey dar sae nikley”

So Mr. Absconding Accused Vijay Easwaran if you have a BRAIN to think of new new SCAMS there are people who can work together to EXPOSE your SCAMS...r u ready for it now….hahaha
QNET QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS !!

In my answers, I will try and explain whatever little I know about Qnet. I have a close friend having been tricked into becoming a member and also got know a few other people. Since I was very curious about the Qnet Scam I researched and got my answers. Its a pyramid scheme in the disguise of an MLM business model.

Q1. What is the Business of Qnet?

The business of Qnet is to sell the epic dream of 'Work for a couple of years and earn forever, doing nothing'. Needless to say, there are millions of people across the world, who buy into this dream.

To become a Qnet member you have to buy products between INR 40K -120K. Qnet sells its products at crazy margins, for eg my friend bought their bestselling product A Healing Biodisc 2for INR 22,000. In reality, it is just a 3 Inch glass disc that can be procured from China for nothing more than INR 100.

The gross margin is whopping 21900%.


Q2. What is the greatness in products that Qnet sells?

The greatness of a Qnet product is that it contains magic. Or atleast a promise of magic.

And most magic is perceived rather than reality. How do you know if a health shake you just drank increased your immunity or not. The Qnet members who buy these products believe in them because THEY WANT to believe in them.

I will give you a few examples. The top 3 categories for Qnet are Energy, Nutrition and Personal Care.

A Qnet biodisc for INR 22K is supposed you make you feel fresh. There is no measurable/ visible effect of freshness. You might as well buy a Tibetan ring for INR 250 that also claims to make you feel fresh.

Similarly Qnet's Nutriplus protein powder costs INR 4000 and improves immunity and builds Muscle. But one can also buy a horlicks for the same and it costs only 150 bucks.

You get the drift.



Q3. Who makes these products that Qnet sells and what is the relationship of Qnet the Company and the manufacturers? Is it Vendor - Principal, Self Manufactured or a combination of Both?

It’s a combination of both.

In my discussions with one of the estranged senior member I got to know that most of their products are manufactured or sourced from China. A few products are sourced from other countries as well.

For their travel package product they have a couple of self owned resorts in Thailand.


Q4. What margins are possible to be earned on such products? Answer with world examples of similar industries and quote some publicly available data.

Product level gross margins are upwards of 10000% in most products.

At a company level the cost structure looks like follows
As a percentage of revenues, 20% are operating expenses. MLM companies are heavy on marketing and sponsorships, international and local seminar with celebrities, promotions, IT, Trainings etc. For eg Qnet is associated with F1, Donates to Unesco, Is the sponsor of Indian Davios cup team etc.

40% is distributed as commissions between the 'Upchain' members. All those people who have led to this member are paid. People higher in the chain get paid less per transaction but will have higher cumulative earnings and vice versa. Qnet follows a MLM model known as Binary Tree Structure. The commission models can be disguised in many forms but broadly the payouts remain the same.

Remaining 40% is operating profit of the company (Qnet)
These percentages (20:40:40) differ for different companies. Qnet chooses to spend more money on marketing and promotions to increase its member network. With time it is becoming increasingly difficult for MLM companies to make members. A decade back a large MLM company could have done with (10:30:60) model.

ROIs, ofcourse are crazy since this business is not capital intensive. Its scam intensive :)

I am surprised on how media and government are quiet on such large scale scams.


The product level margins are as follows

A Biodisc2 Costs, INR 100 and selss for INR 22,000
A Nutriplus costs INR 4000, comparable Horlicks costs INR 150

Qnet will debate that their product has some magic that horlicks does not have , but it’s just sales talk.



Q5. How can these margins be remunerative by sharing across multiple levels of people? If margins are finite, how can sharing be infinite? (It is possible

A successful binary tree model MLM company can reach 1 million members in 24-28 layers and 10 million members in 30-34 layers.

If a company has say 10 million members, the commission from a new transaction will be divided between 30-40 members in the Upline. Its infinite only in theory.The commission models can be disguised in many forms but broadly the payouts remain the same

Before starting Qnet promoters used to run a company called Goldquest , which is a known scam and is now banned in many countries. Most MLM companies have a shelf life of 5-10 years. Once the pace of signing up new members becomes really slow, the promoters will start a new company. They can either wind up the current company or let it linger on for sometime.
After winding up, promoters usually restart with a new product and new name. Their top distributors move with top 3-5 layers of downline to the new company. This is exactly what has happened with Glodquest promoters started Qnet.

I also want to touch upon the phenomenon of Qnet members trying to make a new member. We all have been approached by some friend/ relative for some MLM company or the other. An active MLM member does not look at his relationships as relatives and friends, he only starts looking at them as downlines. He also manages to convince a few only to realise a few months/ years later that he has lost/ strained that valuable relationship.A newbie however is different, he is still trying to understand the people and business and once he realises the truth drops out of the chain. 50% of the MLM members become inactive in the first year itself.

The members do not themselves believe that they are doing something wrong because of 2 reasons. Firstly they don’t know that they are part of larger scam and take it to be genuine business proposition. Secondly even if they know about the scam they don’t mind since they see a few senior members making a lot of money. The senior members are ‘demi god’ figures in the network. They are idolised and spoken about in every conference. What members fail to realise is that big money is only made by people who are way higher up in the chain and this money will keep flowing in to them only for a few years till that scam survives. After a few years these distributors will move along with their key team to another company and start rebuilding their downlines.

So the mantra is that if someone really wants to make money from the MLM scam, they need to ensure that they are early members of the chain in their country, Milk the cow and then move on to the next new company and product.

This can only be avoided by an active media and government. MLM is highly regulated in western countries and hence you will see that most fraud MLM companies are active in Asia/ MENA region.



6. Why can’t Qnet sell its great products (with its great margins like Walmart) and become the biggest retailer in the world?

Please refer answer 2.

There is no real need for these products, they are bought not for their benefits but to as a ticket to the evil /epic dream.

Ans 7) In the disguise of empowering people, Qnet only fools them. Even the acts of good faith are done to gain publicity.

Ans 8) In last decade or two network marketing has become an evil word, the mention of the same itself will make people run away. The Qnet members are trained not to give any indication of the business early on to a prospect. The real sales pitch only comes from a senior member in a face to face meeting.

Ans 9) Most fraud MLM companies sell dubious products at obscene prices. These products can only be sold by push that comes naturally in Pester Marketing. Many members buy a product simple because someone who is dear to them has harassed them enough to buy it. These members are not even looking at this buying to become a part of the network. The only other people who buy these product for logical reasons are members looking for further income.

Ans 10) I think his article answers your question Page onhttp://www.howstuffworks.com/pyramid-sch....

WAKE UP AND SMELL THE SHIT LA!!
Mr Thimiri, the so-called CEO of the controversial MLM, owns registered trademark of QNet in India. He also admitted before the High Court that his company Transview imports and manufactures products for selling to Vihaan Direct, the official franchisee of QNet in India

The case of QNet, the Hong Kong-based controversial multi-level marketing (MLM) operator is taking new twists every day even as all top executives of the company in India decided to stay hidden citing a case filed with economics offences wing (EOW) of Mumbai police.

Interestingly, Suresh Thimiri, who is often touted as QNet India's chief executive and had denied any relationship with QNet or any of its representatives, owns the 'QNet' trademark in India through his company Transview Enterprises Pvt Ltd! See the images below obtained from Trade Marks Registry. Mr Thimiri's company has filed class 42 application for 'QNet' trademark in India.

As Moneylife reported, Mr Thimiri, in his anticipatory bail application filed on 19 August 2013, before additional session Judge DA Dholkia had said, "The applicant (Thimiri) does not hold any sort of relation neither with the Company (QNet) nor its representative (including Eswaran and Vihaan Direct Selling India Pvt Ltd) against whom the Complainthas been lodged by the respondents (Gurupreet Singh Anand) in Oshiwara Police Station." (See image below)

Transview Enterprises is an associate company of Vihaan Direct Selling that handles QNet's MLM operations in India since 14 April 2012. Before that QNet's Indian operations were controlled by QuestNet Enterprises (India) Pvt Ltd, a company registered at Chennai. QuestNet Enterprises was operating QNEI eStore, a platform from where IRs, which is how the investor-dealers of QNet are described, could place orders or buy products and also enrol new recruits. After launching Vihaan, the company asked all its old IRs to mandatorily register under the new business name in order to receive their commissions. Vihaan is a direct selling agent of QNet and had done large financial transactions with Mr Thimiri's company Transview. This made the EOW to freeze Transview's bank accounts in ING Vyasa Bank at Bengaluru.

Mr Thimiri, who in his anticipatory bail application had denied any relations with QNet and its representative, has ratified deals between Vihaan Direct Selling and his company, Transview Enterprise.

In his application before the Bombay High Court to defreeze bank accounts of Transview Enterprise, Mr Thimiri said, "The applicant (Mr Thimiri, director of Transview) is in the business of importing and manufacturing products such as Bio Discs, Chi Pendants, Nutriplus, Homepure, watches and various other products and sells the same to M/s Vihaan Direct Selling India Pvt Ltd."

These revelations may come as shocker to few die-hard independent representatives (IRs) of QNet as they strongly believe that all QNet products are imported! From where? Only the company knew about, as it is kept hidden from public view. Anyway, now with Mr Thimiri's clarification about 'manufacturing' of QNet products, these IRs will know the truth.

After perusing both the applications filed by Mr Thimiri before Courts, here are some facts...

1. Mr Thimiri accepted that Transview does not have any relations with Vihaan Direct Selling except supplier-purchaser relations.

2. Mr Thimiri's Transview Enterprise owns the QNet trademark (used exclusively by Vihaan) in India.

3. Vihaan Direct Selling is QNet Ltd's franchisee that carries the QNet brand name in India. After launching Vihaan, the company asked all its old IRs to mandatorily register under the new business name in order to receive their commissions.

4. Mr Thimiri has been named as accused in the report submitted by the EOW before the Sessions Court, Mumbai. It states: “The accused Suresh Thimiri has played active role in running the Money Circulation Scheme under the guise of investment opportunity and the income earned by the participants is based on enrolment of new members into the scheme.”

While Mr Thimiri is trying very hard to de-link himself from the probe, his own submissions are revealing truth. Vihaan Direct Selling carries 'QNet' brand in India that is registered trademark of Transview Enterprise of Mr Thimiri. The submission made by Mr Thimiri before the Courts only underline his links with QNet in India.

Another interesting aspect in the whole episode is all top officials (?) of QNet India do not want to reveal their identity and remain hidden. We repeatedly sent emails to the company's official PR agency and also some officials from its parent QI group.

We asked "Can you please tell us about Mr Suresh Thimiri, who is often labelled as India CEO of QNet on QNetIndia's Facebook page. Is Mr Thimiri the CEO of QNet in India? If not, then who heads QNet in India and who are the top management people? In addition, we would like to know the relations, if any, between QNet, Vihaan Direct Selling India Pvt Ltd and Transview Enterprises Pvt Ltd."

Here is the reply we received from the PR agency of QNet India...
"This is apropos our telecon now a while back and in furtherance to our earlier discussion which took place on the 30 August 2013 with regards to our client QNET, referred by you in your email. On your request, we reached out to our client again today, but they were of the same considered view that since the matter is still sub-judice, they would not like to give any comments for the time being. We will be happy to reach out to you should our client decide to make any statement to the media in the future."

Modus Operandi of Qnet -

You will get a call from a friend / Colleague whose not so close / distant for years...informal chat converted to business proposal .
The person who's being called is a " Prospect " which needs to be converted to " Plan ". The word Plan depicts it al l- it's planned to dupe you !!!
Normal conversation for a business invitation - " I am indulged in an International Business for financial freedom ( Kitane Din Naukri karta ..?? for how long will serve others ?? etc etc) .We are into expansion phase, one of my senior business partner from.... place will be visiting in this regards by tomorrow / day after tomm.
Can i book an appointment with him / her ?? But you must be punctual as time of seniors is very precious ( Bullshit..these crooks are lying there day n nite ).
Pls bring ur CV also as proper interview will be conducted , if u get selected u'll be offered this Opportunity..no promises."

Once the appointment fixed u'll be called at Coffee shops like CCD /Barista etc etc to impose on Freedom from office envrionment ( fact is qnet does not have place to sit anywhere) . Once u reach to place 2-3 so called seniors will sit along with u ( as taught by seniors when a plan arrives ratio of Plan & IRs should always be +1 i.e. if plan is single person then atleast 2 IRS should b present , if 2 persons attending the plan IR strngth should be more than 2 ...this is to create psychological pressure / stress on "Plan" )

Before conversation starts ur dear friend will "edify" the senior which elaborates on how rich he/she in professional career with handsome experience of years in Corporate world etc etc. Senior business partner starts with own well crafted story which which throw light on Banking/ Insurance/Telecom/media world scenario 7 then his own Organisation wherein his Boss / Colleagues lost their jobs with tagline ..though i was secure i've started looking for an opportunity.Then the story goes roller coaster way how he /she introduced in this business passing thru below questionaire -

1,Whether u r willing to Learn - very popular example qouted will be of Sachin Tendulakar palying Golf after his retirement
2.Time - 20 hrs a week
3.Constraint about any specific Industry
4.Investment - 3-7 lacs - One time , no recurring charges

The entire conversation is well drafted, rehearsed & executed...result u may be convinced to join it..
But there won't be any informtion imparted untill u commit to join with handsome money..

Robbert Kiyosaki's 4 Quadrant theory...details of Company..it's subdiaries.e-commerce way of business...DOT.com balloon bursts..etc.
Assurance of money back in 6 months..double in 1 year..Millionare (Crorepati) in 2-3 years...financial freedom by creating abundance..RYTHM..

After 2-3 hours u'll land up saying Yes with confused mind state as "What am i suppose to do in this business "

Nobody will answer this question till u join...after meeting same invitee friend will hug & assure u " You just come, will work as team ( Main Hoon Na )".
Now ur friend will start chasing u till he recieves entire money ...here starts surprises..u'll be asked to pay for Books/DVDs ( which all r pirated ones)
enrollment fees for seminars / systems etc etc.

The Quality & Price of product purchased as assured by ur mates ( Now he'll be ur Upline & u'll be his downline forever ) ,( if u r fortunate enough to receive Product ).

After joining Mathematics will be explained which is jugglery of numbers take u to Crorepati destination in some time.
Gist of the entire session will be " since u r trapped , if u wish to recover ur money u have to trap others" .

Though there will be little change in the script / venue etc but the intent will be identical to decieve u !!
It's a vicious circle of chasing dreams by duping ur own near n dear ones .

Do not indulge urself & others in this sham so called e-commerce busness !!!

At the age of 67, I had achieved all I set out to do and was considered eminently successful by the usual parameters – beautiful home, a wonderful family, the mandatory gold Rolex with diamonds, several cars, a great farm house, no dearth of money et al. Then the opportunity offered by Dato Vijay Easwaran’s remarkable organisation came my way. It was as if I was struck by a thunderbolt. It was, as they say, a game changer for me. I jumped in with all guns blazing and in a relatively short time, thorough hard work, passion and commitment to the cause, I was able not only to enlarge my own options in life, but also to be the instrument of change for literally hundreds of thousands orf ordinary – and not so ordinary – folk. All I can say is thank the Lord that a man of the vision, calibre, character, and compassion of Dato Vijay has walked this earth.

Top 5 things I hate about Qnet:

I actually wrote this post while listening to a Qnet presentation to one of my colleagues at work … I hope non of the Qnet people will take it personal as many of them do

1. How materialistic it transforms people . with Qnet you only care about the $$$

2. No one really cares about the products they are selling .. even the guy who was doing the presentation next to me, he didn’t really know much about the products. the guy allocated around 10% of the time talking about the products and the rest talking about gaining amazing profit from qnet with all the financial independence it provides

3. Mind trick games the IRs play during the presentations ( am doing this for you not for me , i only invite people who are willing to work not anyone ,.....)

4. After you enter Qnet .. you see everyone(Family, Friend , someone u barely know) as a potential customer or victim

5. Trying to associate Qnet to any big organization or event … before that there was Microsoft which didn’t go any further than installing their web servers then they stopped mentioning it .. today I heard the guy saying that they are the official sponsor of "Formula 1" !!! … I googled it and it turned out they are sponsors for the Virgin racing Team ... it just shows how desperately they seek some credibility

Qnet or any other "network marketing" thing (because it is not a job) is made for the losers in life. With all dissrespect, anybody who joins any of those crap company's is a lame loser. Those presenters just throw big "emotion driving" words like: Faith, Believe, Success, Dream...and use quotes from people who are REALY difference makers in the world (none of which are Qneters of course!) And they use those quotes or words to manipulate the crowd.

I am really sad the world has become so materialistic and all people care about is money....or what u can achieve with paper (that is money)!

Fulfill your dreams by joining Qnet! How can people live with themselves by selling "nothing" to people and claim that it will change ur life? That's just wrong! Don't be a slave to money! Use ur brain and don't take the "seemingly easy" way to achieve ur pathetic dreams!
Work hard, study hard, train hard, dream of doing something that will help u, ur community and humanity! Don't dream of making X amount of money!

At the end of the day, its ur choice. U choose if u want to live ur life being a slave for money, always look for the easy way out, don't have any humane values in life and stop using ur brain for the rest of ur life just to achieve ur "materialistic" dreams, then that's ur choice....use ur brain, don't let people use/abuse yours.

I hope this thing collapses soon. Its nothing but mind games for laundering your money away. For losers who are part of Qnet I despise you and hope you realize what an idiot you have been after Qnet collapses.

They have filed an FIR against QNet/Frozen bank accounts/arrested IR. They may get your money back or atleast save others from getting trapped in this scam. Their address is:

@ FAKE Gurpreet, well the hi-fi lawyers of QNET have had the taste of my COURAGE in courts(r u one of them?)

Regarding FORB@$ article yes it is a perfect example of “Yellow Journalism” and I have evidence to prove it, but then that is NOT MY DAMN CASE, My case against QNET is that of “Operating a money circulation scheme in India” and they have already been CHARGE SHEETED before for the same and as per Government records Vijay Easwaran is a ABSCONDING ACCUSED ;) (Oh god how I love to use that word a ABSCONDING ACCUSED for Vijay Easwaran).

FORB@$ is above the crime branch/madras high court and supreme court of India where QNET/QUESTNET has lost everything? Yea yea …

Oh yes WHOIS IS VIJAY EASWARAN…let me answer that for u again….

He is an ABSCONDING ACCUSED and wanted in INDIA for running “money circulation scheme” and cheating thousands of people in India. He is a WHITE COLLARED CRIMINAL who has A BRAIN for devising SCAMS and re-packaging the same OLD SHIT again and again, if he is so RIGHT, why does he not comes to India and face the trials..why is he ABSCODING?. He is just a DAMN CHEATER NOTHING ELSE.

At one hand there is Sucheta Dalal who has been awarded “Padma Shree” for exposing scams like HARSHAD MEHTA etc and other HAND you have the ABSCONDING ACCUSED VIJAY EASWARAN…wanted for CHEATING AND 420 in India…YES readers are smart enough and they know the FACTS and that’s the reason QNET is in this MESS now, what I am doing is getting support because everyone knows what a BIG CHEAT ABSCONDING ACCUSED VIJAY EASWARAN is.

Mr. FAKE Gurpreet you THINK you have the BIRTH RIGHT TO COME HERE AND ASK QUESTIONS? How come you have not answered a single of my question then…PROVE it your real name is “Gurpreet” share your IR code and let everyone know you are real or as we all know…you are a FAKE like QNET and its BIG CHEAT ABSCONDING ACCUSED VIJAY EASWARAN is.

Answer my question and I will let you know “how many lives I have touched”. I am not a SCAMSTER like you guys and that BIG CHEAT ABSCONDING ACCUSED VIJAY EASWARAN is.

Hum Desh Sevak hain…Desh kae gaddar nahi like U guys…U will never understand the only thing you guys can do is…F2, Find two bakras..find veeru and jai..but for HOW LONG…the company is winding up and will soon vanish in a few days..then what will you do?

You all will be left back to face criminal cases like it happened in CHENNAI before.. your properties, cars etc will be seized and frozen by police authorities , you all will be added as ACCUSED and the only option you all will have will be to face trial as a ACCUSED or turn GOVERNMENT APPROVER.

What I am stating here is not something new, it has happened before and history is just repeating it self…now is the time for the IR,s to decide..they want to be called as ACCUSED or they should stop propagating this SCAM further and join in the investigation and help the law enforcement agencies and turn in GOVERNMENT APPROVER before they are named as accused in police cases.

Bro one thing is for sure, you have a great courage to fight against the right facts too. Do not know what family anger you are into ........... but mind you, for you are challenging Forbes...

Who is Dato Vijay Eswaran ?
http://www.vijayeswaran.com/

Wikipedia link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vijay_Eswar...

===========================
Now the fact is as follows & I am sure ppl will trust the Forbes than anything else like these blogs which are public dependent &


Sucheta Dalal, an Indian financial journalist who crusades against scams and promotes workshops on how to avoid them, made the most of our story, flatly calling Eswaran’s company a fraud in her Moneylife blog. In a Twitter post she laments, “It’s pathetic how Qnet is leading people to financial ruin.” And in another she suggested we had been bribed to run the story. We offered her a chance to make her case by debating Eswaran’s chief lawyer online. She ridiculed the offer and refused to accept it.
