OPEN LETTER
To Editor office of the "Publika TV"
To reporters and editors of video material under the headline
of" Moldova, !ar " de minune"
Dear Publika TV,
On April 10, 2016 on the Internet at the following
addresshttp://www.publika.md/emisiuni/moldova-tara-de-minune_1331.html
waspublished for the first time a video report containing
reporter's falsestatements defaming the reputation of QNET company.
The video was thenshown repeatedly on television the following
days. The video report shows the
QNET's official logo, while a voiceover clearly calls the
company "a pyramidscheme." Then it also shows the company's
products and story of Mr. NicolaeCamaran, Independent
Representative, as it is understood from the report,with the same
unequivocal accusation that the company uses the system ofthe
financial pyramid. In addition, it mentions the names of employees
ofinternational company of QNET in an ambiguous manner, which
suggests thatthe entire report carried biased approach. The company
QNET has an officialagency on the territory of Moldova, and it
serves to carry explanatory andconsulting services about the direct
selling company of QNET, on its businessmodel, its code of ethics
and so on, and where you can openly seek andreceive answers and
explanation. But in this case, a meeting with an agent,
which can be seen in the frame of video-reportage was twofold,
and also hasbeen used a hidden camera during the very meeting. We
believe this isunacceptable in relation to the legitimate company
of QNET. Since in thiscase, the journalist does not conduct an
investigation in line with allobjectives, and does not take into
account the views of all parties involved.Therefore, we offer you
our cooperation in order to clarify this situation.
QNET strongly supports your position against the activities of
pyramidschemes in Moldova, and indeed, anywhere else in the world.
Nevertheless,dear editors and journalists of Publika TV, we are
concerned that the reporterdid not check their facts about QNET
before releasing this video. The videoreport contains few times
mentioned comments that QNET is a pyramidscheme, and that the
company's revenue is earned through the attraction ofpeople and
their money, in the amount of USD 2,000. There was also astatement
that QNET's business activity is prohibited in many countries, and
itis ABSOLUTELY not true. We responsibly declare, QNET - is legal
and thegrowing direct selling company and e-commerce with a
presence in more than100 countries.
For your information, QNET is a well known and established
Asian-born direct selling company offering a wide range of products
to improve the
lives of its distributors. Products are sold exclusively through
our proprietarye-commerce platform to our retail customers and
distributors in more than 100

countries. The company also has 25 offices and agencies around
the world. Inthe region, QNET has official agency offices in
Russia, Kazakhstan, Georgia,Moldova, Turkey, and Azerbaijan.
QNET is member of the Direct Selling Associations of Singapore,
Malaysia,Philippines, and Indonesia. QNET is also a part of the
Hong Kong HealthFood Association and the Health Supplements
Industry Association ofSingapore among others. Recently QNET became
member of United Nations
Global Compact (UNGC) Network- the world's largest corporate
sustainabilityinitiative.
QNET is an active sponsor of sporting events around the world.
In 2014,QNET signed a partnership with 2013/2014 English Premier
LeagueChampions Manchester City Football Club (MCFC) and is now the
OfficialDirect Selling Partner of this well established and famous
club. In 2015, tennisstar and former No 1 tennis singles player,
Martina Hingis became the brandambassador for QNET worldwide.
More than 17 years ago QNET entered the world of network
marketing andcombined direct sales with a proprietary e-commerce
platform. We have eversince strictly followed the rules and
regulations that govern the industry ofnetwork marketing, which
unfortunately is not mentioned in your report. Thisgives a false
impression about QNET and its business activities, which is
alegitimate company, and your referred allegations against the
company are allfalse.
The QNET business model is based on sales of products and as
soon as thesales reach a certain volume of business (points) our
IndependentRepresentatives (IRs) are paid commissions as a reward
for the promotion
and sale of our products. QNET has a number of high-quality and
uniqueproducts, which are exclusively produced and distributed by
QNET. They areavailable on our website www.qnet.net. Anyone who is
interested to marketQNET products can become an independent
representative by registeringonline and paying US$30 only as an
entry fee. With said entry fee a distributorhas access to his or
her very own virtual office, a variety of business tools,ethical
marketing materials, training videos, business planners,
marketingmaterials and more.
In contrast, a pyramid scheme is often disguised as legitimate
networkmarketing company, but these schemes do not sell real
products. Thecommission is based on the number of new members
recruited, not onproduct sales.
QNET, on the other hand, has a large number of products
including productlines such as personal care products, home care,
luxury and collectibles,accessories, holiday packages, and
education, which are sold worldwide. Thispresence of a large range
of products is one of the basic and fundamentaldifferences between
the operations of an illegal pyramid schemes andlegitimate network
marketing companies, such as QNET business and itsmaintenance
depend only on the marketing and sales of its products only.
