Dear List,
 
the weird Moroccan is a guy named Mohamed Ait Ouzrou. He's a complete
whackjob.
Mental health care in Morocco ain't all it could be.
 
His meteorite scam is pretty simple (it has to be!) :
 
1) Advertise best quality meteorites, ship poor quality meteorites
 
2) Make sure some of the meteorites are terrestrial crap.
 
3) Accept a reduced payment to reflect the poor quality, but demand FULL
payment at a later date
 
 
He's accused me, so here's my response. This is just the gist of our email
exchanges....there were too many to include them all.
If Mohamed throws another tantrum, I won't be here to see it - it's our
Silver Wedding anniversary in a few days, so my Mrs and I are going on holiday :-)

Your package has arrived and I have looked at the pieces. Sorry Mohamed, but
these are not the good quality meteorites as you promised....they are old
and weathered and many are cracked..........etc etc..............I will need to
return them to you.
 
Cheers,
Rob.

sending. Do you agree ?
Happy life my friend

Hi Mohamed,
sorry, but the meteorites are not good. The "non-magnetic" stone is a common
ordinary chondrite, and the others are so badly weathered that some of them
are cracked and falling apart.
I will have to return them all to you, so please send me your address. If
you have good quality stones, then I am interested!
 
Cheers,
Rob.
