REAL STORY, MUST READ!!!!
Be Aware - Don't Let This Happen to You!
This is no joke! This story came from the "DailyTexan" - the University of Texas newspaper. Apparently it occurred during Fall Premier- a UT tradition that is a celebration of the end of midterms. This is the REASON NOT to drink or get high anymore!
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 and decided to go along with her. 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 a tissue search 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, is sipping 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 send this to whoever you can.
