I wouldn't say Tariq is shady, but "Umar" at this point is running an obvious fraud.
Dude's been pushing this school fundraiser shyt since 2011, at least to my knowledge 2013, and has yet to show anything for it.
He's switched the location of his alleged school numerous times.
He's threaten donators for not given him more money for "his" school.
He's lied also about outside contributors to his school.
Dude's faker than a $4 bill.

Not to mention the lawsuit that was filed against him by event conglomerates in Miami, Florida, which includes a member on this very forum.
