Chennai arrest report 'inaccurate': QuestNet India says

From correspondents in Federal Territory, Malaysia, 02:36 PM IST

The Quest India Group of Companies has termed as 'inaccurate' reports from Chennai about the arrest of one of its woman employee and seizure of goods.

A lawyer for the firm said the group would fully cooperate with the authorities in resolving any issues, The Star newspaper said Wednesday.

Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, whose legal firm is acting on behalf of QI Group of Companies, issued a statement here Tuesday saying the products seized from QuestNet India's office in Chennai were for distribution.

Inaccurate reports about it were 'dislocating to the business', the statement said.

QI is a multinational and diversified group with interests in various businesses and QuestNet is one of its businesses and a subsidiary.

'QuestNet India and its business in India are quite separate and distinct in themselves,' the statement said.

Media reports Tuesday said a Malaysian woman entrepreneur, who was a managing director of a multilevel marketing company in India, was detained by Chennai Police for alleged fraud.

The woman has not been named.

Police in India had said the woman and her seven employees were picked up after they received complaints from investors against QuestNet.

It was also reported that an assortment of gold and silver coins, watches and mobile phones were seized from the company's premises.

'On allegations against any 'contact' of members of the group, we wish to make it clear that we fully cooperate with the authorities, but any untoward slant otherwise placed in the article against any individual or member is misconceived,' the statement said.

Shafee's statement explained that customers who purchased a product from QuestNet had an opportunity to become independent business representatives of their own free will, a business model similar to any other multilevel-marketing company.

QuestNet did not tolerate any breach of policies and would take swift action including suspending and terminating representatives who acted in violation of the procedures, the statement said.

    Dear Friends, it is the general tendency of the ppl that if they are unable to do anything themselves, they blame others for that. The same has happened with the quest net. The ppl were unable to do the business in its true spirit and thought it to be the way to easy money. How can one get easy money without even working for a single minute. And if the ppl dont have patience, then they are to blame and not the company. Moreover, if the ppl are unable to do the business, then also its their fault and not of the company. The presentations for the business explains fully what are the conditions for doing the business and when one doesnot fulfill that condition, how will he recieve a cheque. The authorities should first go to the complainants and ask them if they had fulfilled the criteria for qualifying for the cheques. If not then they dont have any right to claim the cheque from the company. The fraud is when a person has fulfilled the criteria for qualifying for the cheque and then not recieved the cheque. But if he has not, then of course, no cheque... We the questneters are ready to produce the photocopy of the cheques that the company sends to us so show the proofs that the company is not the fraud. And if the company would have played the fraud, then the officials of the company would not have come in the hands of authorities so easily. Dont get misled by the media. They are used to make the hype of everything. So, believe in the business plan and then decide. Take Care God Bless

    Dear All, QuestNet is the 2nd largest Network Marketing company in the World. If you don't know this fact till now, our media made it so easy as they have given a good coverage for us through an ugly culture of reporting all the negatives happen arround without seeing a single positive out there. I being a QuestNeter welcome all of you to see what is QuestNet and then you decide how we should respond to these type of media buffers called NEWS.(We never advertise about ourself in media)we are nearly 20 million people across the globe as Questnetters.
