Organ Harvesters Now Use Scholarship Offers to Lure Victims

Human organ harvesters have devised a new bait to attract their victims, moving away from using job offers abroad to attractive scholarship offers. Investigator and security threat analyst Dr. George Dosoo-Doyen reveals new ways organ harvesters presently use to capture victims.

Organ Harvesters Now Use Scholarship Offers to Lure Victims

Dr. Dosoo-Doyen explained in an interview with Ghana Report that organ harvesting personnel previously lured innocent victims abroad with mouthwatering employment offers and deals. However, when this trick became well known to the public on their usual methodology, there was a shift from that strategy to the offering of scholarships that demanded nothing from the beneficiaries.

“In the past, it used to be job opportunities in these countries, but they have realized people are getting smarter, so there is a change; they are using scholarship opportunities,” he said.

Impersonating academic institutions, the harvesters promise package support in the form of full tuition, stipends, and awesome academic aid.

Stating that in 2017 advertisements for working abroad took over the streets of Accra, Dr. Doyen said per his research, a great many people who traveled via those routes are nowhere to be found.

“… … back in 2017 till date, there were lots of advertisements in town on working abroad opportunities, where they pay for the passports, your tickets and tell you they have accommodation ready, but what they are literally doing is to traffick you to those countries and harvest your organs,” the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Founder at Doyen Institute of Intelligence and Investigations observed.

“There are records of individuals who traveled via those routes and are nowhere to be found today, not because they suffered any kind of illness but rather because they were lured and their organs harvested.”

More often than not, they handle the process of traveling by providing passports, visas, tickets, and anything else that will make the unsuspecting victim comfortable.

“They will do all the processes needed for you to travel abroad because that will get more than they spent on you after getting you out of your country, i.e. after harvesting your organs,” he explained.

Dr. Dosoo-Doyen advised individuals seeking to travel to work or concentrate abroad to subject their scholarship letters or job offer letters to security experts or the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) for assessment and clearance.

Organs cost a huge amount on the black market.

Dr Dosoo-Doyen is not the only one to raise the alarm over organ harvesting, as law enforcement agencies have confirmed the activities of such people.
