M. M. ALAM

CONCORD: According to Pakistan Medical Association estimate some 600,000 quacks operate in Pakistan (out of that 70,000 operate in the port city of Karachi).

In order to export this art a 37-year-old Pakistani-British citizen named Mustafa Hasan Arif took the skill of quackery to a new height: by using 1500 website he mustered about thirteen million US dollars up.

The convict swindled a hundred thousand desperate simpletons (suffering from incurable illnesses) selling them crap in the name of miracle drug.

In order to cheat he used to publish fictitious testaments, fake cure rates and clinical research.
