Scam – Mr Latif Returns

Eight years ago, in 2018, I wrote about a business card that was put through my letterbox from Mr Latif, a miracle worker who could supposedly solve any problem you have within 24 hours. It was clearly nonsense, and I was able to trace the con back to at least 2004 under a different name, so it had been going for quite some time already. It was one of the more unusual posts in my scam awareness series, as I had mostly been writing about email scams at the time.

Well, he’s back – in Australia! Not only that, but he’s now a professor with a website! He’s gone up in the world it seems – or down under to be precise. And strangely enough he seems to have close connections with other people offering remarkably similar services. Either there’s a whole family or network of these amazing healers that nobody knows about, or it’s the same person. Or perhaps he’s the modern day Doctor Who and is so powerful that he can keep regenerating into different people!

In any case, many thanks to Ryan for drawing my attention to this, and sending me down this latest rabbit hole. He had searched for Latif’s name after receiving a flimsy card in the mail just like I had, and found my old blog post as a result. I hadn’t expected to receive a message about it after such a long time, and from such a long distance away, but it certainly grabbed my interest because of that!

So let’s have a look at what Professor Latif is up to these days.

Business Card

Let’s start with the text on the flimsy business card that Ryan received in Perth, Australia, which also appeared in a publication called Have A Go News in May 2026 (halfway down page 14):

Psychic Latif in Perth

Located in Perth

Once again he claims to be “born gifted” and makes blatantly ridiculous claims that are designed to target vulnerable people who are desperate for help. Goodness knows how much he charges them.

And just to further prove that it’s dodgy, the card is riddled with grammatical errors to drive the point home. For someone who can heal anybody’s problems, I’m surprised his writing skills are still bad.

For instance, to put my pedant’s hat on for a minute:

• “From love related situation to family issues…“ – That should read “love-related situations”.
• “…or negativity black magic issues or court cases etc…“ – That should say “negative” and I would put a comma before “etc”.
• “…sentimental issues such as: marital crisis, return of loved one, affective problems, stop divorce…” – This should either read “marital crises” or “a marital crisis”, followed by “the return of a loved one”. And the word “stop” is superfluous as “divorce” is clearly an issue in itself.
• “…and offers protection against evil forces and jealousy.” – That should say “offer” for the sentence to make sense.
• “I can help you about any unknown disease…” – Should be “with” rather than “about”. And how you can deal with a disease that’s unknown?
• “Help in business success path, finances and gambling.” – This feels like an incomplete sentence relative to the others around it, and it would work better without the word “path”.
• “Don’t suffer in silence seek advice from Mr Latif.” – There needs to be a comma or a dash between “silence” and “seek”.
• “Results 100% guarantee within days.” – This should say “guaranteed” from his perspective, although really it should say “100% proven to be false” to be accurate.

Ok, sure, maybe being African his grasp of English isn’t perfect, or maybe he has a condition like dyslexia. But he claims to be able to heal anything, so surely he could eradicate problems like that in himself straight away, right?

It’s also strikingly similar to the business cards I’ve had in the past – one of which was for a Mr Latif, and the other for a Mr Abdou, as you can see if I put all 3 together:

Website

According to that business card, Mr Latif has a website – latif-psychic.com – through which you can contact him via WhatsApp or email.

It’s more well written and laid out than his business card, indicating that somebody else or AI wrote it instead. But if that’s the case, why wasn’t the business card written by the same person or software? Why don’t they match?

The website claims that Mr Latif has been helping people across Perth and the rest of Australia for 20 years. That’s interesting considering:

• Someone with an identical name and making identical claims has been operating here in the UK for at least the last 16 years, and longer still with different names before that.
• The registration information shows that the website was only created on 8 November 2025, just over 8 months ago. And that timeframe is mirrored by his Facebook pages mentioned below.

The website also has some glowing 5-star testimonials for his services, which give him a rating of 4.9 out of 5 from 286 “verified reviews”. However:

• There are only 8 reviews shown.
• There’s no evidence whatsoever that any of them are genuine.
• There are no reviews on his Facebook pages, as noted below.
• If I use Google to search for sections of text from those quotes, the only result that comes up each time is his own website, which means they haven’t come from any other public site (e.g. Google reviews, Trustpilot, etc). Funny that.

Finally, the list of links at the top of the site bounce you down to the relevant section of the page – except for the Contact link, which doesn’t work. It appears they forgot to put in the anchor point for that section.

Facebook

Although not linked directly on the website, we can use the contact details there or on the card to discover that Mr Latif has at least two Facebook pages – one called Professor Latif and the other called Mr Latif.

These provide additional information, and also reveal a wider network of remarkably similar healers.

• Creation Dates – The earliest posts on those pages are from the latter half of last year (20 October 2025 for Professor Latif and 24 August 2025 for Mr Latif). That aligns with the creation date of the website (November 2025), casting further doubt on his 20 years claim.
• Reviews – The reviews sections on both pages are empty, so the “verified reviews” on his website clearly haven’t come from there.
• Property Address – He gives his address as 3/427 Canning Highway Como, Perth, WA, Australia, 6152, which we can look up on Google. We can see that it’s a 2-bedroom property, which is apparently rented at $620 per week. There’s nothing suspicious about that address to my knowledge, it’s just worth noting as part of the evidence package in case the profile gets removed.
• Email Addresses – There are different email addresses on each page. The one on the Professor Latif page matches the business card (mrlatifjabbie@gmail.com), but the one on the Mr Latif page, despite having the same phone number, has the address jabbieousman47@gmail.com. Note the surname Ousman in that second address, we’ll be coming back to that in a moment.
• Category – For some odd reason, both of those pages are assigned to the category of “Musician/Band”.

Interestingly, Professor Latif is being followed by a couple of other magical healers who also happen to be based in Perth and are offering identical services. How lucky are the residents of Perth to have 3 amazing healers right on their doorstep!

• Mr Aman – He has a website that is very similar in style to Mr Latif’s at psychicaman.com, and his email address (amanjabbi@gmail.com) contains the text “jabbi” that is in both of Professor Latif’s emails. He also shared Professor Latif’s business card in his latest Facebook post on 6 July.
• Porffessor Jamal (his spelling, not mine) – Jamal’s website doesn’t seem to work, but his business cards are again very much like Mr Latif’s, with different contact info. And the email address on them is fansumarajabbie@gmail.com. There’s that “jabbie” name again. He also has a post in January 2025 that advertises healing services by “Professor Fadal”, not Jamal.

On top of that, Professor Latif is also being followed by 3 Portuguese accounts that have the surname Ousman – which you’ll notice is in the second email address that Latif uses above:

• Mestre Ousman – In 2023 and 2024 he advertised his own services, which are very similar to Mr Latif’s. But then in 2025 he made only a couple of posts, sharing Jamal’s business cards instead (see above), and hasn’t posted anything else since.
• Mestre Ousman Grande Médium – Again, in 2023 and 2024 he promoted his own services. But in March this year he shared an image of Professor Latif’s card instead.
• Prof Ousman – The latest post here is from 2023, and translating it from Portuguese shows that he’s offering the same kind of service (“I am a great seer, medium, and authentic African healer with natural powers inherited from previous generations.”).

Professor Latif is also following Portuguese Radio Australia and Portuguese Australian Women’s Association Incorp. So there’s quite a strong Portuguese connection going on there.

Still, he does also follow Nando’s, and for some reason is being followed by a branch of Pizza Hut. So he has some good taste in food at least, I’ll give him that.

Summary

So what have we learned today? Well…

• Professor Latif claims to have been working for over 20 years in Australia, despite offering services in the UK during that time, and despite only having a website and Facebook presence since 2025.
• The grammar on his business card is poor, yet his website is better worded and laid out.
• He claims to have lots of 5-star reviews, but there’s no evidence as to where the testimonials on the website have come from. I cannot see any other evidence online to suggest that people know him or like him.
• Similar services have been offered under the names of Mr Aman and Professor Jamal in Perth, and by a Portuguese healer called Mr Ousman, and they’ve been quite willing to promote Latif’s services too. I’ve also seen the names Mr Yasin, Mr Abdou and Mr Khalid used here in the UK in the past, as explained in my previous post.

Ultimately, the point of me sharing all this is to illustrate what a tangled web scammers can weave, and how persistent they are, using different names, locations, email addresses, websites, etc to try and give themselves as much chance as possible. It’s cheap and easy to set up that kind of thing online, so they only need a few people to fall for their lies to start profiting from it. Me making this post isn’t going to stop Mr Latif, I know that, but if it saves just one person from falling prey to him by appearing in some search results, it makes it worthwhile.

It all comes down to the old common sense rule that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If Mr Latif really was the magical genius he claims to be, he’d be extremely famous and wouldn’t have to keep changing names and places as he goes along. But clearly he’s not gifted as he claims. He’s just a con artist who is best avoided.
