Fraudulent Activities and Victim Testimonies:

A. Fraudulent Activities:

4. Land Scams: Tawfique entices unsuspecting individuals by falsely claiming ownership of land properties, soliciting investments in non-existent projects under the guise of charity or mercy mission dawah. Victims, driven by their trust in his religious position, provide funds that are misappropriated for his personal benefit. Tawfique has defrauded multiple individuals by falsely claiming ownership of land properties and soliciting investments for non-existent projects. Victims include a medical doctor from Queensland, who entrusted Tawfique with $1.5 million for land purchases, an engineer from Melbourne who loaned him $1 million for a six-month period, and a person from Victoria who gave him $450,000, all without receiving the promised land or refunds.
1. False Land Ownership Claims: The scammer falsely asserts ownership of various plots of land, asserting that he or his company have purchased them in their name. In reality, they have not made any legitimate land acquisitions, instead relying on fraudulent contracts and documents to create an illusion of ownership.
2. Reservation of Non-Existent Plots: Exploiting people's desire to secure a piece of land, the scammer entices them with the opportunity to reserve plots from the supposed land acquisitions. Victims are required to provide substantial amounts of money as down payments or reservation fees, which are then misappropriated by the scammer.
5. Fabricated Business Empire: Tawfique embellishes stories of his vast business empire in Australia and Malaysia to gain credibility and extract money from unsuspecting victims. However, investigations have revealed that a significant portion of these funds comes from stolen money, obtained through fraudulent schemes.
6. Money Laundering: The Scammer employs complex financial strategies, funneling money through various bank accounts to obscure the paper trail and avoid detection. These activities facilitate his illicit operations and make it difficult for authorities to trace the source of his funds. He employs deceptive tactics to conceal the illegitimate sources of his income. He funnels the funds through different bank accounts, deliberately avoiding a paper trail to evade detection and accountability.
7. Unpaid Loans and Financial Exploitation: Numerous individuals, including a veteran doctor in Queensland and an engineer in Melbourne, have experienced severe financial losses due to Tawfique's refusal to repay loans. The resulting financial distress has caused significant personal injury, including weakened health, anxiety, and even partial heart attacks. Tawfique has failed to honor financial agreements, as evidenced by the case of an engineer in Melbourne who loaned him $1 million. Despite six years of pursuit, the engineer has not received repayment. This highlights Tawfique's disregard for financial obligations and the suffering experienced by victims.
8. Soliciting Funds: Taking advantage of people's desire to contribute to charitable causes and invest in halal opportunities, Tawfique solicits funds from them for these non-existent land projects. He manipulates their religious sentiments, using promises of returns and blessings to persuade them to invest significant amounts of money.
9. Coercion, Blackmail and Threats: Tawfique resorts to blackmail and threats to silence his victims and prevent them from taking any public action against him. By manipulating their vulnerability and fear of losing their money, he maintains control over the situation, leaving victims in a difficult and compromised position.

When confronted about refunds or legal action, he has resorted to threatening individuals with defamation lawsuits, discouraging them from seeking justice or sharing their experiences publicly.
10. Misuse of Power and Sexual Misconduct: Recent allegations have come to light, involving Tawfique in cases of attempted rape and sexual misconduct. These incidents further illustrate his predatory behavior and highlight the urgent need to protect potential victims from his actions.

The money was returned after 4 years by Mercy Mission, UK when no justification could be provided as to where exactly the fund was utilised. As an apparent gesture of gratitude, Tawfique pitched the idea of gifting this victim, a plot at the claimed cost value of $150,000, out of which $90,000 immediately paid upfront, because Tawfique claimed that Mercy Mission required urgent capital. It was later uncovered that those donation money and the land payment was utilised by Tawfique from getting sued by another victim and payback someone else he owed money.  It has been 5 years already, no money and no lands have been provided to any of these victims yet.

Why Tawfique is called a Fraud

What do you call someone when he/she come to your house, ask for a loan for six months and promise to return the loaned amount with a profit, and say that this is a 50% sadaqa, as the loan is for saving a hospital project. 

Then you find out six months become six years, he does not pay your money, instead  he claims it was not a loan but an investment. So according to him, as per Islamic law, if you invest,  than all money can be lost.

So no money is available.

The main issue is, it was one of his victim's life savings of 30 years hard sweat burning works. He loaned him $1m: $600K from his home loan equity and $400K from his Superannuation (Provident Fund).

So he sold something to his victim by lying.

If it is not a fraud, what is a fraud?

He also gave him a mortgage of land & house (in his wife's name) as a collateral for that loan. The victim and his wife visited the site to check it out. Tawfique's brother-in-law showed them the site. There was a house with a large block of land. So they trusted him and loaned him the money for six months to save his community hospital project. He begged them not to register the caveat for the mortgage. Since he was a shaikh and money was a loan for only six months, they did not register the mortgage and caveat in the public register. Guess what, Tawfique did, he sold off the security collateral. Is it not a fraudulent activity?  

For the five years he had been telling them that he was trying to develop the land and he would be making enough profit to pay them back their money with the promised profit.

But they found out just few months ago, that he sold off the land immediately within 1 year of taking money from them.

If a shaikh with a spot of piety on the head, does that to you, what do you call him? Definitely, a Fraud of high calibre, isn't it?

 

Why Tawfique is called a Liar?

1. Tawfique and one of the victims signed a loan agreement with 25% interest but he preferred to call it profit, but the Lender did not know at that time that calling "ïnterest" as "profit" had different connotation in his Islamic interpretation. Wasn't it important for him to explain to the lender that if money was loaned to him with a profit, it could not be called a "Loan" as per his vocab?

2. Knowingly he took the loan. As per Victorian Law, it was a Loan Contract. It has a capital / principal amount, on which the interest rate of 25% (though he called it profit) is calculated. It has an end or settlement date and the fixed amount of settlement. It has a purpose. It has a collateral.

3. To keep the lender happy, he paid time to time small amounts of profits over the period of 5 years. He kept on telling more lies during that period of time.

4. Once the Lender found out that the mortgage was sold out without their knowledge they lost their trust in him.

5. Then he started telling the Lender that it was not a loan contract but an investment contract. So there was no time limit. As a result, he could easily swallow their life savings of $1m loan money, what a joke!

6. Since the Lender gave him the loan from their homeloan equity, and with the increase of interest rate, they can not afford to service the loan any more. So they became serious to recover the loan and the Shaikh started showing his real face.

7. So didn't he lie to them? He knew that they were not interested in investing in his project, so he told them that he needed a short term finance to save his Community hospital project. He had a Chinese buyer who wwould pay him $20m in two months, so if they could help him by lending this money from their home loan, it would be big help for him and their community. He being Shaikh ul Islam, they trusted him and lent him the money. But Chinese Buyer and $200m Bond money every thing was a concocted Lie.

8. He told them that he was developing a peiece of land, sub-dividing it and selling 200+ plots of lands. He already sold 114 Plots to Chinese Customers (100 x 200K and 14 x 250K), totaling approx $20m. Where is that land and where are those plots?

9. When they found out that it was a big lie, since then they had been chasing him to pay back but today is six years running. No sign of makin the settlement.

10. If he is not developing the land, why did he told the lies that he was selling plots of lands and he had money, he had a big business empire. He sent in his text message a Quránic verse, where Allah asked the borrower to give "respite". Here Tawfique was given 5.5 years instead of six months, he does not want to commit any date to pay back. What a mis-use of religious text for a persoanl gain! 

11. Is that the right behavious of a graudate of Madinah Islamic University? Behaviour of a Shaikh with a black spot of prostrations on the forehead?
