Kidney Scam... BEWARE

BE AWARE FRIENDS,

The world is getting sicker and a more unsafe place!
Don't know
how accurate these stories are, but better to be aware than be
ignorant.
============ ========= ========= ========= ===

This is a
true story, it has been confirmed, and the Medical Centre
phone number at
the end of this story is real. This guy went out on a
Saturday night a few
weeks ago to a party. He was having a good time and
had a couple of beers
and some girl seemed to like him & invited him to go
to another
party.

He quickly agreed & decided to go along with her. She took him
to a
party in some apartment and they continued to drink & even got
involved
with some drug (unknown). The next thing he knew, he woke up
completely
naked in a bathtub filled with ice..

He looked down at his
chest, which had "CALL 000 or YOU'LL DIE" written on
it with lipstick. He saw
a phone was on a stand next to the tub so he
picked it up & dialled. He
explained to the EMSoperator what the situation
was & 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 he appeared
normal, so she told him to check
his back.. He did, and found two 9 inch
slits on his lower back.

She
told him to get back into the tub immediately, and they sent a rescue
team
over. Apparently, after being examined, he found out more - His
kidneys were
stolen. They were worth $10,000 each on the black market.. He
is currently in
the hospital on a life support, awaiting a spare kidney.

I wish to warn
you about a new crime ring that is targeting business
travellers.. This ring
is well organized and well funded, has very skilled
personnel & is
currently operating in most major cities around the world
and recently very
active in Sydney..

The crime begins when a business traveller 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
traveller remembers until
they wake up in a hotel room bathtub, their body
submerged to their neck in
ice, is sipping that drink. There is a note taped
to the wall instructing
them not to move and to call 000. A phone is on the
small table next to the
bathtub for them to call. The business traveller
calls 000 who have been
quite familiar with this crime.

The business
traveller is instructed by the 000 operator to very slowly and
carefully
reach behind them and feel there is a tube protruding from the
back. The
business traveller finds the tube and answers "YES". The 000
operator tells
them to remain still, having already sent paramedics to
help. The Operator
knows that both of the traveller's kidneys had been
harvested. This is not a
scam or out of 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.
I REALLY WANT AS MANY PEOPLE TO SEE
THIS AS POSSIBLE SO PLEASE BOUNCE THIS
TO WHOEVER YOU CAN.

I was approached yesterday
afternoon around 3.30 pm in the Car parking lot
by two males, asking what
kind of perfume I was wearing.. Then they asked
if I'd like to sample some
fabulous Scent they were willing to sell me at a
very reasonable rate. I
probably would have agreed had I not received an
email some weeks ago,
warning of this scam.

The men continued to stand between parked cars, I
guess to wait for someone
else to hit on. I stopped a lady going towards
them, I pointed at them and
told her about how I was sent an email at Work
about someone walking up to
you at the malls, in parking lots, asking you to
sniff perfume that they
are selling at a cheap price.

THIS IS NOT
PERFUME - IT IS ETHER!

When you sniff it, you'll pass out and they'll
take your wallet, your
valuables, and heaven knows what else. If it were not
for this email, I
probably would have sniffed the "perfume", but thanks to
the generosity of
an emailing friend, I was spared whatever might have
happened to me, and
wanted to do the same for you.

LET EVERYONE KNOW
ABOUT THIS, YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, CO-WORKERS!
