Anyone want to deal with these freaks? They have a large sandstone piece worth tens of millions of pounds! Rob?
They sent me their "meteorite Kiddy" pictures a couple of weeks ago, so I think I'll pass.
Weird emails claiming "I've found a meteorite!!!!!!" seem to have increased recently. Some of them are pretty funny and obviously scams or spoofs......here's a few of my favourites from recent weeks. The only editing I've done is to remove names, email addresses, etc:
"hi,i got the reply about the picture .i tried photographing it and it came out blank. the stone is 6 kg and 6 months old since it was discovered. the characteristics are:very highly radioactive,when put near a car,the car would not start.emits very bright light.when place on soil,it digs itself in.it moves slowly from sunlight into a shade.if touch with bear hands it sends electric shocks."
"Got a meteor fpor sale Urgent Ron is the Owner"
"Important Factors :
This Meteor has been continiously evapurating it's hard cosmic dust materials.
e.g. :-> 1. When this Meteor was found 50 yrs back, it's weight was almost approximately 250 gms . However, From that onwards, this meteor has been continously loosing it's weight as well as continiously reducing it's size and shape . Now Today, it's weight remains only 60 gms ."
"REIMBOLD METEORITE 1047 set in a s s pendant"
Sadly, I do have many more ;-)
