The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has cautioned the public, particularly young people, against individuals and networks associated with QNET and similar schemes that lure victims abroad under false promises.
In a public announcement issued in Accra on March 13, 2026, the ministry noted a rise in incidents where Ghanaian nationals were deceived into travelling overseas with promises of employment, business opportunities, or assistance in obtaining European visas.

According to the ministry, many victims of such schemes have ended up stranded abroad, detained by foreign immigration authorities, or subjected to exploitative and distressing conditions.

The ministry advised the public to exercise extreme caution and verify all travel, recruitment, and business offers through official channels before making any financial commitments or travelling outside Ghana.

It also urged parents, guardians, and community leaders to educate the public about the risks associated with fraudulent schemes.

“The Ministry remains committed to working with relevant national institutions to protect the welfare of Ghanaian citizens and to curb the activities of criminal networks who prey on unsuspecting individuals,” the statement said.

Members of the public are encouraged to report suspicious activities to the ministry’s offices or relevant security and immigration authorities.
