By the way: I'm somehow in a loose E-Mail exchange with Abdellah - Hello to Marocco! - and my impression, without having dealed with him until now, is quite good and positive - it's simply one of the normal and friendly contacts such as I have with other meti-aficionados in Europe, USA etc. So: just give people a chance.

Nobody is forced to purchase from such offers via e-mail. For whom it is to risky: Don't buy or buy at your next mineral show or travel by your own to Morocco to see the stones there. But then you have to take the expenses. In general the Moroccans are francophone and only seldom they know English, Hence their emails may sound funny sometimes. That some are trying to market their material directly, is more than legitimate. I don't like that hidden subtext in this thread. If there weren't the Morrocans, we all still had to pay 400$ for Howardites, 800$/g for Acapulcoites, 200$ for Ureilites and 2000$ for Marses and 2000$/kg for W3-chondrites. Thus, if you all please, a little bit more respect and gratitude!

The thing that gets me is the fact that this "Moroccan" dealer uses many names and all the emails come from France. I was impressed by Joels recommendation of course but Joel and that astrocomical research guy recommend this person by all his names. What's the deal? Why can't he use one identity? Hello sir, I am an honest man. Send me money today for a meteorite. He sounds like Wimpy in the Popeye cartoons. Well as Robert Crumb said, "No ########### hamburger is going to tell me what to do. This guy won't front any material and why in the world does he expect to be trusted?
