Dear List Members,
 
This is yet another attempt by a psychopath alias Joel Samson to defraud the
meteorite market. This is not NWA 5K. Every piece of the most spectacular and
highest appraised meteorite in the world over a couple of grams has its own
portfolio, serial number and is recorded in a registry. No such 30 gram piece
has been recorded and no pairings exists.
 
This is not the first time somebody has fraudulently offered this meteorite and
surely it won?t be the last so buyers beware. If it doesn?t have a colored ID
card, be cautious. If the offering weighs more than a couple of grams, it will
come with its own portfolio and custom signed C.O.A. with a seal. The C.O.A
will also describe the exact specimen with an image of it. The weights and
serial numbers of the first-hand distribution are recorded in a registry. Every
milligram of this meteorite has been inventoried. The only two legitimate
parties offering any NWA 5K right now are Anne Black and I. The only exception
would be a previous purchased piece is being re-offered in which case it should
include proper supporting documentation.
 
I wish everybody safe collecting,
 
Adam
