Beware of "black transplantologists"!

Online organ dealer to be sued for fraudThe creator of an online resource allegedly selling organs for transplantation to those in need faces up to 20 years in prison, as well as a fine of $250,000 on charges of fraud using electronic means of communication.

In addition, he faces a number of other charges, PC World reports.

A certain Jerome Howard Feldman (Jerome Howard Feldman) posed as a doctor associated with organ transplants in the Philippines, using a website Liver4you.org . Although Feldman was arrested in Manila on February 2, the site is currently functioning, but no one seems to be responding from the email address indicated on it.

Despite the fact that Liver4you.org clearly made, as they say, "on the knee", and the best automatic translators took part in the creation of his numerous pages in languages other than English ("We can provide transplant surgery inside as soon as 10 days"), Feldman managed to find his clients. One of the deceived, however, had the sense to complain where necessary and put an end to this fraudulent activity.

Last summer, a certain US citizen appealed to the law enforcement agencies of the small town of DeWitt, New York, with a complaint about the specified web resource. According to her testimony, her husband needed a liver transplant, and she found a website on the Internet Liver4you.org , started an email correspondence with a certain Dr. Mitch Michaelson (Mitch Michaelson).

He persuaded her to part with $70,000, which the woman forwarded to DeWitt's bank in the name of Alberto Gomez, and assured that this amount would cover all the costs of transplantation as soon as the spouse was taken to a Philippine hospital. In this hospital, the patient died without waiting for a new liver, while the local staff had never heard of any Dr. Michaelson, who also stopped responding by e-mail.

An investigation involving the FBI revealed that the woman was by no means the first victim of a fraudulent scheme, and a total of about $400,000 was forwarded to Gomez's account in Devitt. It also turned out that Mikaelson and Gomez are one person whose real name is Feldman (Feldman himself lived in the Philippines under a third fictitious name).

Recall that according to the laws of most countries of the world, including Russia, trafficking in human organs is prohibited. Only one resource of this kind deserves attention, but only if there is a tendency to black humor.

A glance at the main page of this site causes exophthalmos and paresis of the masticatory muscles.

Simply put, the eyes pop out on the forehead, and the lower jaw knocks on the countertop:

The rest of the content of the site increases disorientation: a lot is possible in this country, but this... 
I wonder if all visitors get to the "About Us" page?
