Well, the drama continues. I filed a Fraud Complaint with Ebay = yesterday regarding the "Canyon Diablo Meteorite" which as you all know = by now, turned out to be iron shale. I have received two responses from = Judith McCabe/Colin also known as pahanaswife, bubbamisen, and = currently j.c.z.inc. on Ebay. The first was a response to Ebay which = was forwarded to me through their system:=20 >Comment Added: Buyer contacted me after 2 months for refund. Item sold = was indeed meteorite as listed in the meteoritic encyclopedia 5th issue. I=20 am contacting my lawer to consider proceedings for the fraud allegation. Slander is another word for it. As I mentioned before in my communication to the list, I contacted the = seller the day after I received the product in the mail, received a = nasty reply and my subsequent attempts to contact them were ignored. The second comment I received was an email to me directly which I = received this afternoon. Hi My lawer has advised me to start legal proceedings against you for the = fraud allegation.Which i am very seriously considering. Under section 25 = of the slanderous comments act( which comes under federal law) i have = the right because the fraud complaint is a false statement and = slanderous against my being and integrity. I therefore am considering a = class action lawsuit against you because of this. The material sent to you was as discribed in the auction . There was = not a mention that it was nickel iron. Furthermore in your own words you = have admitted selling this material for 10 years. Which under federal = law is illegal under the ireplacable resourse act. I have many paths open to me towards a lawsuit. one being my geology = degree and my expirience in the field of astrogeology. But not to beat = around the bush i will sue you for every penny you have. Have a wonderful day colin So, it seems that something finally woke them up! :) =20 I find it interesting that one of the comments in the email mentioned = that there was nothing that said the material was nickel iron. So, this = confirms my previous suspicion that this person knows exactly what they = are selling , and is deliberately misrepresenting it as Canyon Diablo = meteorite to get a higher price at auction than what it is actually = worth. This one is definitely a "rotton apple".=20 Just wanted to pass on the latest news to you all, since I promised to = keep everyone informed about what was going on!
