Modern pyramid schemes often are quite sophisticated in hiding the
ball from the participants, mainly by focusing on the mystical
qualities

of their exclusive products. Quest Net, on the other hand, barely makes the effort to disguise its lack of substance. Take a look at the "Opportunity Overview"
page. Judging by the quality of the disclosure, the generic products
distributed by Quest Net are not an important part of the opportunity.

          

The description of the company emphasizes the business opportunity first, and the products are clearly an afterthought:---------------------

          

Our Story began in 1998, with a dream to touch and change lives around the world by harnessing the power of the Internet.From the beginning, we were committed to providing customers with an
innovative business opportunity through an e-commerce platform, like
none other before. Nearly a decade later, we can proudly say - We did
it! We have developed an entire range of unique, exclusive and reliable
products that are retailed online around the world using our
scientifically designed business plan. Our customers have enjoyed the
most advanced business tools for almost a decade - simplified online
enrolment, a virtual office containing powerful business tools to
manage and regulate your business, secure payment options, all fully
integrated on an advanced e-commerce platform. Even as the late 90s experienced the dot com bust with the demise of
various headline grabbing online businesses, we have continued to
quietly make our presence felt through a stable and steady growth and
an ever increasing global customer base. We started off with a single product, a collectible numismatic coin,
that went on to define an entire product range of collectible coin sets
and medallions over the next few years. It was only natural to then
expand into watches and jewellery that have today developed into a
world class brand representing quality, exclusivity and value. With
continued success and a burgeoning loyal customer base, we further
expanded our product range to include vacation packages, wellness
products and state of the art telecom products and services. In the last nine years, we have grown to become one of the largest and most profitable network marketing companies in the world.

Success, success, success!!!
What do you do?
Who cares?! We are great at it!

          

Quest Net has been banned in many countries Sri Lanka, Iran, and Afghanistan. The
story of the company in Afghanistan was recounted on Friday’s
Marketplace, including a protest by Quest Net investors, who shouted
"Quest zindagee!" ("Quest is life!") outside of President Hamid
Karzai’s palace. We even get a feel good story about the Taliban:
"There is one group that seems able to stop Quest. When Zaman’s
friends came south to recruit in Kandahar, the Taliban left a letter on
their door. It said: Get out, or we’ll kill you. And the ’businessmen’
quickly retreated."

Now India is being bombarded with these scam artists. Growing economy sure attracts all kind of unwanted crap also.
