A Navi Mumbai resident claims she has become the victim of the notorious QNet scam. The lady said in a report in this paper that she had met one of the independent representatives of the multilevel marketing scheme through social media in February last year and had borrowed money from her friends to invest in the scheme.

A desperate woman who had no job fell for the offer. Since it was pandemic time, no physical meetings took place, which is the usual modus operandi of the scheme. Instead, there were several zoom calls and webinars. The yet unsuspecting target roped in a friend too. Then, the lady realised she is not getting the commission she thought she would. A little later, with no response from the representative and a refusal to return her money, the victim filed a police complaint along with her friend.
