With renewed support, Habeeb resumed the production and circulation of fake educational certificates. These counterfeit certificates were sent to Hyderabad by post, bearing the names of various universities like Andhra University, Telangana University, Anna University and other from several states. Habeeb began providing these forged fake educational certificates, operating through information received from his consultancy services and network of agents across different states. He targeted students and job seekers, offering fraudulent certificates in exchange for large sums of money.

BRIEF ABOUT THE AGENTS:
It has come to light that Raziullah Khan, also known as Shoaib Khan or Bose, a resident of Towlichowki, Hyderabad, is one of the prime agents of Mohammed Habeeb.

In exchange for money, Khan provides these fake certificates to his clients. Additionally, Khan operates through a network of sub-agents who assist in luring more unsuspecting individuals into the scam, further propagating the illegal distribution of counterfeit educational certificates.
In 2019, Mohammed Habeeb opened a new branch of "FLY ABROAD" consultancy in the Anantapur District of Andhra Pradesh.

These agents of different regions including Hyderabad lured candidates primarily students and job seekers by promising them educational certificates from reputed universities without attending courses or exams. The certificates were then sold for large sums of money, enabling the accused to earn illegal profits by exploiting desperate individuals in need of educational qualifications for jobs, promotions, or overseas opportunities and Marriage proposals.
