Hi Daniel and List,

Great work on exposing this fraud. And thanks also to Dr. Korotev for
donating his time to analyze the bogus samples. As you said, the
damage is done, and the market is contaminated with fake specimens. I
would recommend that anyone who bought one of these displays to
contact eBay about it, and to file a PayPal dispute case to freeze the
scammer's funds.

If anyone bought one of these bogus displays, please contact me via
email and I will offer a genuine Moon or Mars display at a 40%
discount off my published price, on one condition - you take the bogus
display and smash it with a hammer and email me a photo of the
destroyed fake. :)

Best regards,

MikeG
