Hi Jay, Phil and other concerned list members.
Since this individual keeps showing up on this list and peddling his
misrepresented meteorites here (he is substituting certain common falls for
rarer types), I'd suggest that people email Art and tell him of your
concern. If you have been ripped off by this individual or know of any
illegitimate business practices you can email Art here: Art
<blurthel...@gmail.com> and tell him of your difficulties. I doubt that Art
wants someone like this on the list.
I plan on emailing him to make a request to have Bob Evans removed and I
hope that others will do the same, whether you are a victim or not. Phil did
he send his package by mail?? Do you still have the box it was shipped in.
If so you can go to the post office and file a mail fraud complaint against
him which could land him in jail. Since I live close to you, I'd be glad to
help you out with this. We can also bring other documentation to further
enforce our side. I'd urge others to do the same. If they see several people
filing against the same individual then it will weigh heavily on him. I
agree with Mexico Doug that flaming won't make the group look good to
perspective aficionados. All my best!

I couldn't agree more with Phil.
I have no idea why he is allowed to continue his communications on this
list. We should not continue to look away and let some unsuspecting
collector be taken advantage of. It can eventually affect the value of all
of our collections.
What needs to be done to get Art to remove him from the list.
This was brought up in the past but no action was taken. I was hoping he
would just pick a different hobby. Not so lucky...
Al, Phil,McCartney,Anne,Martin H,Art...Everyone.... What is the next step?

VERYRare Book
A respected and important member of the meteorite community checked out
the provenance of the last offerings on eBay by Bob Evans and they turned
out to be shady to say the least. It looks like Bob Evans was selling
stones with fake Monnig provenance according to his own source. Wouldn't
this constitute fraud on a felony level? Can't something be done to stop
this guy? When he comes back out of hiding after his latest rip off scams
I say flame him until he crawls back into the scum from whence he came.
