This smacks of Robin Cook, and sci fi thrillers, but apparently kidneys
are in big demand on the black market. Please forward this to everyone
you know.... Can you imagine how terrified you'd be if this happened to
you or someone you loved..



THIS WAS IN MY IN-BOX AND THOUGHT I SHOULD SHARE IT WITH
EVERYONE


True??????

THIS IS NOT A JOKE:

This guy went out last Saturday night to a party. He was having
a
good time, had a couple of beers and some girl seemed to like
him
and invited him to go to another party. He quickly agreed. She
took
him to a party in some apartment and they continued to drink,
and even
got Involved with some other drugs (unknown which). The next
thing he
knew, he woke up completely naked in a bathtub filled with ice.
He was
still feeling the effects of the drugs, but looked around to see
he was
alone. He looked down at his chest, which had "CALL 911 OR YOU
WILL
DIE" written on it in lipstick. He saw a phone was on a stand
next to
the tub, so he picked it up and dialed. He explained to the EMS
operator what the situation was and that he didn't know where he
was,
what he took, or why he was really calling.

She advised him to get out of the tub. He did, and she asked him
to look himself over in the mirror. He did, and appeared normal,
so she told him to check his back. He did, only to find two 9
inch
slits on his lower back. She told him to get back in the tub
immediately, and they sent a rescue team over.

Apparently, after being examined, he found out more of what had
happened.

HIS KIDNEYS WERE STOLEN!!!

They are worth 10,000 dollars each on the black market. (I was
unaware this even existed.) Several guesses are in order: The
second party was a sham, the people involved had to be at least
medical
students, and it was not just recreational drugs he was given.
Regardless, he is currently in the hospital on life support,
awaiting
a spare kidney.

The University of Texas in conjunction with Baylor University
Medical
Center is conducting tissue research to match the sophomore
student
with a donor. I wish to warn you about a new crime ring that is
targeting business travelers. This ring is well organized, well
funded,
has very skilled personnel, and is currently in most major
cities and
recently very active in New Orleans. The crime begins when a
business
traveler goes to a lounge for a drink at the end of the work
day.

A person in the bar walks up as they sit alone and offers to
buy them a
drink. The last thing the traveler remembers until they wake up
in
a hotel room bath tub, their body submerged to their neck in
ice,
issipping that drink. There is a note taped to the wall
instructing
them not to move and to call 911. A phone is on a small table
next to
the bathtub for them to call. The business traveler calls 911
who
have become quite familiar with this crime. The business
traveler is
instructed by the 911 operator to very slowly and carefully
reach
behind them and feel if there is a tube protruding from their
lower
back. The business traveler finds the tube and answers, "Yes."
The 911
operator tells them to remain still, having already sent
paramedics to
help. The operator knows that both of the business traveler's
kidneys
have been harvested.

This is not a scam or out of a science fiction novel, it is
real. It is
documented and confirmable. If you travel or someone close to
you
travels, please be careful.

Sadly, this is very true. My husband is a Houston
Firefighter/EMT and
they have received alerts regarding this crime ring. It is to be
taken
very seriously. The daughter of a friend of a fellow firefighter
had
this happen to her.

Skilled doctor's are performing these crimes! (which, by the way
have
been highly noted in the Las Vegas area). Additionally, the
military
has received alerts regarding this. This story blew me away. I
really
want as many people to see this as possible, so please bounce
this to
whoever you can.
