Dear List,
Rob Elliott monitors the list archives but is not signed up so he asked
if I would forward his reply to the list. Paul

Dear List,

The seller tried to scam me from the outset. He promised "best quality
black fresh fusion crusted" meteorites but sent me junk, highly
weathered stones that were literally falling to pieces. The meteorites
in the pictures he emailed were not the meteorites he shipped. One large
stone wasn't even a meteorite. I told him they were of no use to me and
asked for his return mailing address, so that I could send them back.
After several days of trying to convince me to buy them, he told me that
he'd sell them to me at half the original price. I agreed (if only to
save on return shipping costs) and sent him payment by Western Union.
Later, he claimed that I owed him more money.

The NWA stones on my website are not the rubbish he shipped to me. I
have copies of the emails we exchanged and the Western Union payment, in
case he needs a little reminder of his scam which went wrong.
 
Cheers,
Rob.
