Dont know how genuine this article is, but here read it.
Do not accept anything from strangers
You may think the above heading has nothing to do with consumer affairs. On the contrary, it is highly relevant and in line with the consumers' right to be informed, so I feel morally obliged to inform you.
Ironically, telling our children not to accept sweets from strangers is no longer limited to children. I must warn you too not to accept similar offers from strangers.
This is a true story that happened in Australia. However, it is also happening all over the world. While hoping that it will not come to Malta, it is well worth knowing about and we ought to warn people about it.
So I appeal to you to spread the word. The Australian victim in this case went to a Saturday night party. He was having a good time drinking beer when he met a girl who seemed to like him.
She invited him to go to another party. He accepted and agreed to go along with her. She took him to a party in some apartment. She mixed various drinks and gave him an unknown drug, which made him unconscious.
Subsequently, he woke up and found himself completely naked in a bathtub filled with ice. Indeed, he was still feeling the effects of the drugs. He looked around and realised that he was alone.
A message was written on his chest with lipstick telling him to call a quoted telephone number "...or else you'll die!" There was a telephone on a stand next to the tub. He picked it up and dialled.
A woman answered the phone. He explained the situation he was in and added that he didn't know where he was. It transpired that the woman who answered the phone was fully aware of the situation. The perpetrators know that their honest, diligent colleagues will look after the respective victims.
Sadly, this is very true and the warped way these victims are given a chance is highly disturbing. Thank God for their honest, diligent colleagues involved in saving the respective victims' lives.
Indeed, the woman who answered the phone told him to get out of the tub and check his back. He found two nine inch slits on his lower back. She told him to get back into the tub immediately, and added that a rescue team was on its way.
After being examined, it transpired that his kidneys were removed, indeed stolen. They are worth around $10,000 each on the black market.
There is a new crime ring that is targeting many victims, including business travellers. It is well organised by highly skilled personnel and well funded. It is operating in most major cities around the world and currently is very active in Sydney.
This is not a scam or something out of a science fiction novel.
It is real, documented and confirmed. Therefore, if you travel, be careful and, if your close friends travel, warn them.
Skilled doctors have been noted in the Brisbane area performing these crimes. And the military has been alerted.
