I don't know if I would call him slick... obnoxious frauder is what
comes to mind when I think of him.

Yes, that is a total fraud. The only meteorites found in Sweden is
ordinary chondrites (H5 I think) and iron meteorites. The material G?ran
is trying to sell is old slag from the iron production in Sweden, you
could find rocks like that over a large area in central Sweden.

If you are as lucky as I am then he will finally send you a message
telling you that he will never answer any of your mail any more... don't
know what I did that got him that furious.. :-)
Maybe it was because I actively work against frauds whenever I see them
on the net.

Right now he is trying to sell some of his rocks on a Swedish auction
site, tradera. But so far noone have fallen for it.

I have contacted tradera but so far they haven't done anything about his
auctions.

I got a rabid letter from the Boggy Creek Collection a couple of months
ago but nothing happened after that, don't know what all these lunar
meteowrong sellers have against me...
Anyhow, it was really fun to read and it was cc:d to the cleaning staff
too but I don't know if they understood the fun part of it. ;-)

/G?ran, the one with real lunar meteorites.
