[Resolved]  QI Group — Bogus scam

Guys, if you really want to be an entrepreneur, then it’s not easy. Otherwise every next person will be millionaire. A person who is reciting these negative things to others can be easily predicted as frustrated, egoistic, stressed, complaining & revengeful in their lives. Please ask them how successful they are in their life before pointing to anyone else as they are doing social service by spreading negative thoughts…. Ha ha ha.
Qi Group is a reputed multinational firm. If networkers who have joined the business claim that this is a fraud or scam I would request to differ and mention that there is no failure in this or any networking business - because they quit on themselves there is no 'quitting' here. The product is incidental to the business model and all the income will come by the purchase of products. So every person who wants to start have to buy products. That is only source of revenue for company, not anything else.
I don't know exactly about people perception for this industry outside India. I really find it mockery when people give their expert comments on Network Marketing, but how many of them know what network marketing actually is, according to them this is a chain business, pyramid, Ponzi scheme... hahaaa.

Maybe it's the pyramid structure? But you can't really take issue with the multi layered compensation structure—almost every large sales organization in the world has that. Salespeople get commission, and sales managers get overrides or bonuses on top of that, and sales directors on top of that, and VPs on top of that.

Or maybe it's the fact that you have to pay to participate in it? But that can't be it—that's a standard franchising model. And I assure you, the franchise fee of most traditional franchises are much huge than the sign-up cost of any MLM, where you at least get some product value for your personal use.

Some people feel it fooling story. How many o[censored]s would agree to the facts shown in the TV advertisements for famous brands. Don't you feel that celebrities come on the screen endorsing various products with high claims (consciously not using any specific names of the TV Advertisements). Are these not designed to fool customers, for which these companies spend huge amounts to pay TV Channels and these celebrities??

In countries like India people don't recognize it as a business. How many o[censored]s know that more than 14-15 companies from the industry are listed over main Exchanges in US, where the SEC law is so strict. With business leaders like that of Warren Buffet and Donald Trump investing money into network marketing ventures, it came to no surprise to many that The Harvard Business School started to take notice of the ever expanding industry.

But no doubt this industry is bad mouthed simply because the model runs on words of mouth. Most of the time people feel it as a Get Rich Quick Scheme, but fortunately its not. Most of the people who bad mouth it are outsiders to it only, they have not been a part of the industry or have been dragged into it by someone else without knowing much about it. The people who criticize it on merit that it doesn't work I am sure they have not sincerely tried it. Friends, no business in this world runs automatically, one has to make it work through his consistent and persistent hard work and that's why most of the people choose doing paid-job as an employee rather than starting own business. Network Marketing is also not an exception to it. Every business has its own success and failure fate, ratio. We only remember the successful businessmen or women, but we don't remember that the number people who failed in the traditional business, whose number is much more than the successful ones. So what, whether people have stopped doing business or starting business. Yes, every business has a risk but Network marketing has the lowest risk, that's what makes it attractive and reachable to common man. And this is also negative point for the industry because people who sign up as an associate are not qualified and same is offered to every Tom, Dick and Harry.

I understand one thing with clarity that business is about MINDSET. Business is about taking action even in the state of doubt and fear, but most of the people fail here. Network Marketing is based on a value system, which one can see and feel only after he actively spend some considerable time in it. What makes any Network Marketing business as special is its education system. Because a good network marketing company helps in developing that mindset, rather than making a sales guy. People who start this business for money only and don’t focus on learning and developing a successful mindset, they may make some smart money initially but I can bet in long run they will fail. A real sense Network Marketing Company will take you through the same journey or you can say same troubled phase which a real entrepreneur face in his journey. But it has worth it, if you are serious to change your life.

This industry has been facing criticism and bad mouthing and will continue to face the same, but has been progressively growing and will keep on growing, the statistics shows how fast the industry is growing. Because it is based on a value system and I visualize that in next 5-10 years’ time people in India will understand and see the real picture of the industry.

Everyone cannot understand it even after this & they will continue to criticize (ego-problem) the QI & Qnet and the whole industry. Have a distance with those people who challenge you that you can’t do it.
Wake up, time has changed.

Wow.. I got same gyan.. Left ias for this thing and what m earing now is peanutsss... My !! Disgusting!!

Surprisingly, one of my college friend who has never called me for last 4 years has called me, when i asked the reason why, he just told just to know about me and how i am doing.
Later after 2-3 days he called me again and told that he is planning of an ecommerce website.. And if i am interested i can join him. I am a hardcore coder, i thought it will be nice to earn some extra money if i can contribute anyhow. I was very much passionate about this startup. After 1 day he asked me to meet but just few hours before.. He called and told me that he cann't make out and his business partner will meet me.

I was completely in assumption of a new startup or venture. I met him at ccd (I dont know why ccd allows such rubbish people we booked there table for 2 hours without buying anything). He started with same dialogues and success history of him and others. He asked me since this is the new business, so i have to invest some amount and i will get % share of that. I got convinced of investing 2-3 lakhs in that but later when i asked him.. What exactly he expects from me.. He told that.. Just give him 2-3 lakhs and buy some product and the similarly like him sell product to others..

Now i got context. I was knowing similar concept in amway and ebiz. So i declined the offer indirectly and told that i need 2-3 days time then only i will be able to decide. But they were literrally behaving like beggars and trying to convince me that if i dont buy today i will get loss of minimum 2-3 lakhs.

But i declined completely.. And after coming back i told that friend to never ever call me again.

Beware of such fraud company.

Hi I believe this company was know as quest net who used to sell some rare minted medals, I was also traped saying this are rare coins I am sorry they said medals as they cannot manufactuer currency, I invested this money in 2006 and now recently came across same with new packaging.

Oh god!!! I was just doing google to get a review about this qi limited... And finlly i hv got some great review.. Hahahahaha.

There are close relatives who don't even care about their relationships, just think about themselves.

Bc mere se to 3.5 lacs ki demand ki thi or mera pura saturday waste kr diya, bhasan sunate sunate rat k 12 baja diye. Metro bhi miss ho gye cab se jana pada.

Anyway katai chutiyapa h, please aware of such gamblers like them. Unka manna h hum to bane hi inka bhi banao.

It's fraud. I would recommend to do not join such ridiculous trap. Instead I would prefer to save 1.5 lac in your bank or other investment such as SIP, FDs etc. Do not trust on any of such meetings of QI. It's useless and ridiculous. If its that easy, than why people will work hard.

Hi Guys Good eve all even i too got an invite from Qi groups thru my frnd and his Sr partner explained me such all things that u wil be rich with couple of years and u can earn 6.25Lakh per week, so i got shocked and he told me to invest 2.5L and be a part of Qi group.

so please suggest whether i can invest my money or not.. Bcoz i wont believe frndz i will believe the ppl those who have been shared the comments...

Thanking you
Your Wellwisher

QI Group/QNET Investment?? Think thrice before committing.
Myself & my wife were recently tried to pull into this business opportunity/investment/scam whatever u may call it.
In our case a collegue o[censored]s (we know him from approx 6-7yrs) also my wife deals with him on a regular basis in office, he has been telling us for quite some time about his attempt to start his own franchisee business & with this mysterious MNC in “e-com” .Even after repeatedly asking him about the details of the company, he never told us and was reluctant in discussing the topic. We didn’t force either. We were also looking into starting something of our own & were meeting & discussing with various people regarding different ideas.
About 3-4 month back, he called us and said he has forwarded both of our profiles to the company so that you both can also join as his partners for Bangalore region, as he was based in Mumbai. Now after some more days he says his “Business partner” who currently taking care of Bangalore region want to expand & they have already like our profile. He can spare 2-3 hours from his very busy schedule to discuss with us regarding the details. As of then, I don’t have any idea regarding the company, products, process or any thing. When I asked him to give a heads start, he just diverted us without giving out any major details, that it deals with watches, jewelry, lifestyle & leisure, education, holiday packages, air purifiers, etc, etc and is in ecom and assured us we will get clarity after the meeting. Once we went for the meeting with this guy, the whole thing happened exactly how others have already mentioned here in comments/review – as if it’s an already scripted show – down to the very exact choice of words, examples, etc. which inturn proves they have been given a very intensive training & well written script with most counter arguments to just divert the focus from the main issues. In nut shell they want you to trust your friend & few other “Demi Gods” of the business they know of whom they will show you FB post with Audi cars, Sachin Tendulkar, at IIFA awards with various celebrities, etc. All you need to do is put your 4.5lakhs to 9 lakhs & spare 15hrs per week & and these Audi driving Demi Gods will take care of everything & you will be playing in Cores in the worst case 30-40Lakhs. Something’s fishy right?
Through out this long scripted discussion, if you pay attention you will find out many loop holes, which don’t add up. Even you ask about it they will simply divert you to something else or ask you to keep your mind open towards new concepts. What I believe is that in the 15hrs per week training sessions, all they do is to train you hard to bring in more people in this tree/chain & nothing more, There is no real E-commerce or something. They will force you to join immediately, they will arrange for loans, or ask you to pay a token of 15-20KINR & block your spot else a lecture on COST of Delay. In our case when we denied, they even offered to pay from their end right now & pay them back later, But if you ask them to go ahead with their own money they went back.
My feedback, donot take any call in a hurry, come back with the details they have discussed, review them again & again till you are fully satisfied. I found many loop holes personally when reviewed later.
Even though direct selling is a well set business model & many people are earning via AVON, AMWAY, etc. it is a well tried out & proven business strategy, wherein you have to sell actual product to others to earn, Whereas here we are just the Internal representatives, buying holiday packages or watches and asking others also to buy same & get on board. There is no investment but expense. Even the KPMG report that they push you to read does not endorse QNET/QI group/QVI etc. It is just a general paper in the scope of Direct selling business in India, in fact it talks lot about AVON, Amway, Tuperwares, However not even once in this 94 page document mention NET/QI group/QVI once. I am not saying it a scam already, but the idea did not convince me to put in 4-5 lakhs & earn 10 times in retrun so easily. Even very well know company like Sahara, Kingfisher, Mythas, Satyam emerged as Scams not to mention Rose valley, Sarada etc. Hence beware before committing your hard earned money.

came across the same issue last week and i asked to give me time about to think this opportunity. all stuff was same as given above. Thank you all of you to save me from this fraud.
