Removal of unsourced and sponsored content used for advertisement purpose 17 September 2019
The page has been constantly edited on the sly by company members who have tried time and again to whitewash the company reputation. The first news link reference is of The Hindu which talks about arrest of 4 members.There is no mention of Global Support Centre in the link. Vijay Eswaran to promote his MLM company has written few books and this has been cited as a source in the next link.Forbes Asia Magazine writer Donald Frazier published a company sponsored article privately years ago, given here as a link. I have mentioned portions of his Interpol arrest in my edit from that article.Mayermint.com is a dead link,formerly used to promote Bernhard H Mayer watches of QNet.Issuu is a paid publishing platform of QNet. Obtainer magazine publishes all sponsored content on QNet every year one can cross verify. The next newslink is of Daily mirror Sri Lanka where GoldQuest scam accounted for countless victims and the next link is of company denial of fraud allegations. However the lines in the page have no reference to these two newslinks given as source reference.Olympic Games tag is mentioned to puff up its reputation. Again the next reference source is the company own webpage qnet.net which is blocked by order of court in India It has sponsored some sports events which it keeps publishing in this Wikipedia page through its paid links like qigroup.com as can been seen in the next few edits. is a dead link.http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f1-news/247165/virgin-racing-announces-qnet-partnership is non existent link. The reference here is misleading public since QNet never ever set up its manufacturing base in India till date.The article mentions that the correspondent accepted QNet invite to Kuala Lampur for publishing the story.Similar is the next article on likely opening of office in Russia in the near future. Articles on sports sponsorship and marketing events by the company which not significant and seldom noted in articles about companies as remarked by Pichpich and Cullen328 goes contrary to the edits allowed in QNet History section. The constant mention 3 year paid sponsorship of Manchester City Football Club by QNet goes to show the desperation of its PR team to confuse the gullible public. The relevant Controversy section which was much longer has been reduced to the sidelines, from the viewpoint of the reader. The company winding up petition have been filed in India after an inspection by officials revealed the nature of scam.As seen from recent Youtube videos of its annual VCon 2019 convention the newly joined members were told not to believe in Google searches since the world was against them. Kindly see to it that this QNet Wiki page is free from paid and sponsored advertisements as was highlighted by an alert message on the top of this page many years ago as having several company promoted sources. We cannot fight with a heavily paid PR team. Jitumoni1995 (talk) 07:02, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

It is not an ponzi scheme, due to lack of regulation for direct selling, misrepresentations scattered.

Qnet Ltd, formerly known as QuestNet, GoldQuest, and QI Limited, is a Hong Kong-based multi-level marketing (MLM) company owned by the QI Group. The company's products include energy, weight management, nutrition, personal care, home care and fashion accessories on an e-commerce platform.[2]

It operates legally in some countries, but has been charged with Ponzi scheme and multi level marketing in countries such as India.[3][4][5] The government of India and the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India banned the site in India after a protest spread in Bangalore.[6][7][8]

Qnet's operations tend to be franchised out to local companies, thus allowing the head office to earn while relieving it of liability and responsibility from local and national cases of fraud.[9]

qnet là công ty đa cấp lừa đảo
qnet là công ty đa cấp lừa đảo. Có mặt tại Việt Nam vào đầu năm 2018. Qnet dùng hình thức mở những lớp học làm giàu để thu hút những thành viên cho tổ chức này. Người học sẽ bị tẩy não bởi những học thuyết làm giàu và những đạo lý gắn liền với tôn giáo của họ. Sau đó họ sẽ dụ người học mở tài khoản trên nền tảng của mô hình kinh doanh online( mỗi người sẽ phải đóng 1 số tiền nhất định để mở tài khoản này). Hiện nay công an Việt Nam cũng đã bắt đầu điều tra về hoạt động của tập đoàn này tại Việt Nam. Stevevuvn (talk) 13:24, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

 * It's not clear what the specific proposal is. Aside from that, the DSA reference isn't WP:RS in this context nor the least bit useful from an editorial/content perspective. The 2 Forbes articles (both from 2012) are already cited in the article. Rhode Island Red (talk) 22:45, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello there, --Zainabdawood77 (talk) 13:22, 28 October 2020 (UTC) Can anyone prove read this and tell me why those edits were undone. I tried to be Neutral and add information about the company supported by sources. I want to note that I'm not a representative of Qnet in anyway.




 * Hello . The section you posted here cannot be published on Wikipedia because it is at least partly copied directly from the company's website, which is protected by copyright; please also see WP:CLOSEPARAPHRASE for why you cannot copy a copyrighted source even if you change a few words. It therefore must be removed, and has been removed from this page as well. The rest of your edit is written in an unduly promotional tone: lists of industry awards and sponsorships are non-encyclopedic because they are generally always purchased in some way, and so they do not impart any useful neutral information about the subject. If the award itself is notable or details of the sponsorship have been discussed in detail in reliable sources which are independent of the company and the sponsored entity, then there may be a justification for including them in the article. But Wikipedia is not a business directory and not an indiscriminate collection of information. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 13:44, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
