LIARS among us - Ammar Afzal


Few months earlier I received a email with subject "Ammar Afzal, Hum Sharminda Hain" (Ammar Afzal, we are embarrassed) from a good colleague.

Email subject got my attention and when I opened the email, it had an image attachment with the content written in Urdu. This email was about a guy from Okara city of Pakistan, who is so talented and with out of the world abilities in him, that he resolved a critical issue in one of the most famous international bank.

The email states that Mr. Ammar Afzal is a OCP with outstanding performance in marks obtained. I wasn't able to digest it, so I googled him and found no such information as per the contents of email. On my queries on this from my colleagues, they were shocked and feeling sorry on forwarding the email without verification.

Today another colleague showed me a Video on YouTube, in which the same guy was interviewed by the National television channel. He was saying that he has got telephone call from Bill Gates, Yes Bill Gates and he is about to join Microsoft as Managing Director. I was so shocked and again after googling I found no information about that guy whatsoever.

I am so SURPRISED that in Pakistan anyone can get get in and throws any idiotic things from his mouth and we just air it without any authentication.

If you took a simple analysis of both the scenarios for correcting issue in Bank's ATM and being hired at Microsoft, even a 12 year old can come up with questions like this....

1) Does a Multinational bank provide their ATM's software code, server access, scripts to anyone for fixing a bug
2) A OCP with huge talent in DB got hired in Microsoft for OS Windows 9 development.
3) Their are only 49 developers in Microsoft and he is 49th but in terms of work he is # 1, that is just WOW and HOW ???.
4) Bill Gates is calling someone or may be every one who is being hired at Microsoft. (as Mr. Ammar Afzal quoted he got 6 minutes call from Bill Gates)
5) ..... I can go on with this so let everyone use their own imaginations.

Kindly find below some of the links and video I found about this guy named "Ammar Afzal"

The whole purpose of this post is to spread the information and keep others doing such kind
