Our world is full of dangers and threats and one ever growing threat is organ theft. Organ theft is an ever increasing and successful business that is happening worldwide. With over a hundred thousand people waiting for a transplant each year, and with only a couple thousand legal donors, it is not surprising to learn that criminal entities would take advantage. Most people have heard stories of illegal organ trade being done in South America, Africa, and China as it has become a popular crime in these countries. However, did you know it is also happening in our back yard? Advanced Private Investigator & Security of Miami FL would like to make more people aware of this growing danger and would like to help you from becoming a victim.
Human Organ Trafficking Cases
It is truly alarming who will become a victim of organ theft. From children, young teens, the middle aged, and even the elderly all are targeted for organ theft. Some recent reports in China shared that even elderly monks, due to their healthy lifestyle, are being targeted for organ theft. Another was a six year old who was found with his eye harvested for his corneas. Organ theft is highest among the poor or lower classes worldwide, and the organs are going to those who can pay. The common organs harvested are brains, hearts, kidneys, corneas, livers and pancreas. The disturbing part is that the organ needs to be fresh with warm blood still circulating through it. Most organs come from kidnap victims where they are kept until they are needed. However, that usually isn’t very long due to the demands. Therefore, many kidnap victims last only a few hours unless they are being transported across country. Due to the growing need for organs, theft too is increasing. This is why it is important to be aware and learn how to avoid becoming a victim.
Online Dating Precautions
While you never know who may be may be out looking to harvest organs, it’s good to practice awareness and develop good habits to help prevent from becoming a victim. To begin with, most people don’t realize how dangerous the internet can be. Online or social media has made shopping for organ donors much easier for criminals. Online dating being one if the worst. If you choose to meet people online, never go on a date alone. The first couple of dates, or until you believe you really know the person, should be done in groups and with people you trust. Both men and women must be aware. You don’t truly know who you are talking to on the other side of a screen. Be careful who you friend on facebook or other similar media. Even if you don’t talk to this person much, they will watch you through you posts and see what kind of life style you live and in so doing, they can figure out if you’re a potential healthy donor as well as your basic habits.
Avoid Daily Routines
Avoid forming routines, as harvesters look for donors. They love those with routines. It makes it easier to know when you’re alone and the best time to abduct a person. Change your routes to work, home and even the grocery store and change up your preferred shop locations. Avoid doing out side activities alone if possible.
