I don't know if I would call him slick... obnoxious frauder is what
comes to mind when I think of him.
Yes, that is a total fraud. The only meteorites found in Sweden is
ordinary chondrites (H5 I think) and iron meteorites. The material Göran
is trying to sell is old slag from the iron production in Sweden, you
could find rocks like that over a large area in central Sweden.
If you are as lucky as I am then he will finally send you a message
telling you that he will never answer any of your mail any more... don't
know what I did that got him that furious.. :-)
Maybe it was because I actively work against frauds whenever I see them
on the net.
Right now he is trying to sell some of his rocks on a Swedish auction
site, tradera. But so far noone have fallen for it.

I have contacted tradera but so far they haven't done anything about his
auctions.
I got a rabid letter from the Boggy Creek Collection a couple of months
ago but nothing happened after that, don't know what all these lunar
meteowrong sellers have against me...
Anyhow, it was really fun to read and it was cc:d to the cleaning staff
too but I don't know if they understood the fun part of it. ;-)
/Göran, the one with real lunar meteorites.

Hi, all,
I recall that a couple months ago someone on the list was warning the
rest about a slick Scandinavian scammer trying to peddle terrestrial
rocks as lunar...
Is this the guy?
He's been sending these ads specifically to me...(email copy attached)
I suggested he send his ad for the benefit of the List, but he doesn't
seem to want to do that.
It just sounds like an Amway/Boggy Creek pitch, to me...
If it's this guy or not, I'd appreciate the name of the scammer again.
Cheers,
Pete

Hello Pete.
Thanks for your great email. I have from 1gram up to 300gr, represent
the best extra-rare breccia meteorites in the world and I have much
beautiful fusion crust on it. The prices are from 3000dollar/gram
(ex,see pictures), but how much will you give gr/price, and how much
(gr) ???? Thanks !
Best Wishes my friend /// Göran
