This "gentleman" appears to be a salesman in patient's clothing.   Anyone else receive this PM?

We arrange Transplant Surgery in the Philippines with American and British Transplant Surgeons, who have done over 300 Transplants without any rejections or failure. We provide a complete price which includes all the Doctors as well as well as hospital charges for donor and patient services. In countries with no health Insurance for the local population who can not afford a Transplant themselves, earning two dollars a day, there is lots of jealousy and anger over foreigners coming here for a live donor transplant. Therefor to keep the politicians off their backs , the Hospitals and Doctors do not openly advertise and have told me specifically, to not give out their names and address, except in person, within the Philippines. A few years ago an American patient was given the hospital telephone number before he came. He and his family called hundreds of times long distance, always talking to the wrong people, which gave the impression of hoards of foreigners coming for Philippine organs, which are legal to pay for to have a Kidney Transplant from a living donor. The newspapers got wind of the American patients coming for transplants which they printed with the headlines " Wealthy foreigners coming for Philippine organs " With this wave of adverse publicity, the Dept. of Health stepped in and ordered all transplants stopped pending a review of 12 months. This actually happened back in 2001. The cost is $ 70,000. USD of which 37,000 needs to be sent prior to arrival to an American bank. The remaining money is due prior to testing and Surgery. You can meet the donor when you are here and look over his health/ medical record. We can certainly provide you with live donor kidney transplant Surgery within one week of testing to match you with a healthy donor matched to your blood group and a 50 % or better Antigen match according to the HLA test. When you are here you can see the Surgeons credentials and references. Some you can meet in person.
 Sincerely,

I apologize to anyone who received a similar solicitation from Mitch the Organ Broker. He has been determined to weasel his way on to this forum after being banned.

We do our best to screen all new registrations but once in awhile someone slips under the radar.

Thank you to those members who notified admins about the PM's.

He always finds a new angle.  This time he contacted people who may not have been aware of his history and his discussions here in the past.  You would think he would get the idea!              :Kit n Stik;

I wrote to the organization that he sponsors in hopes that he gets the idea that i will not go away. I'm not sure what the laws on Internet harassment are at this time, but i am investigating it as we speak. I vow to do everything in my power to eliminate this guy from IHD. What he dos not understand is that he is really offensive towards many people here at IHD, and that if he really cared about people he would handle his business appropriately. He has been given plenty of time when Epoman was still with us to speak his mind, and it gave many here a chance to explore his services and or views. No one was interested and we are not interested in exploring his services or exploiting his services on Epomans forum. He is not wanted here at IHD and never will be. There are so many other places on the Internet where he could freely advertise his greed, which only makes me question his motive for making peoples lives miserable here at IHD. Is this the works of a caring person who really wants to help those searching for transplant options? or is this a scam to line his own pockets and his cohorts pockets. The answer is clear.

Thanks Sluff.  And I think that both your and Zach's assessments of what he is, is spot on.   Creepy wingnut.

thanks admins for dealing with it. I got the PM right after I got home from talking about ETHICAL transplants for my D nurses. I was absolutely livid and offended to receive this trash in my mailbox.

And to think that Epoman was more than generous to him.  He gave him a chance to speak his piece on IHD and made it clear when that was over.
What more does he want?
Epoman would be so proud of his admin team!!! Sluff and Karol!  :bow;
