We did some research into organ transplant scams due to some info.
These are some recent news, most of which involved kidneys if the
donors wish to remain alive after a transplant. Otherwise, it has to

Pakistan: It
is reported that Pakistan is becoming a ‘kidney market’ due to poverty.
People living in poverty have no option but to resort to sell their
organs to fulfill their financial needs. Kidneys are chosen because it
is assumed that one can survive with just one kidney. The source
explains that ‘Pakistan is considered the most congenial place to have
a kidney at an
affordable rate and also its transplantation in a shorter length of
time.’
