Hello Listers
The post of the Lorton meteorite on eBay was a hack into someones email account
on ebay. eBay contacted me with this email. Also, I called up the Smithsonian
today and spoke with a women on the phone and she had told me that the
meteorite is no longer in the possession of the Museum and that the meteorite
is with the Lawyers that are dealing with the case.
eBay sent this message to.

-- Safety Tips --
-- Don't respond to the sender, through either eBay or your email provider, if
the message is an offer to buy or sell an item. This type of offer may be
fraudulent, and the transaction won't be covered by eBay protection programs.
- - If you received what appears to be a Second Chance Offer for an item you recently bid
on, and it appears in My Messages with the subject of "Message from eBay
Member," it isn't a legitimate Second Chance Offer.
Real Second Chance Offers appear in My Messages with a blue background and subject that says,
"eBay Second Chance Offer for Item...". Always check for both the blue background in My
Messages and the subject line of "eBay Second Chance Offer for Item…" when responding to
a Second Chance Offer.
-- Never pay for your eBay items using instant cash wire transfer services such
as Western Union or MoneyGram. It is against eBay's Safe Payments Policy for a
seller to request payment with these methods, as these types of payments are
unsafe if you're paying someone you don't know.
-- If You've Already Sent Payment or Shipped an Item --
- - If you already sent payment for an off-eBay transaction, or if you're a
seller who already shipped an item to a fraudulent buyer, we suggest you take
the following steps:
-- Contact the payment service you used to make the purchase. If you paid by
credit card, most card issuers provide consumer protections in instances of
online fraud.
- - If you sold and shipped an item to a fraudulent buyer, contact the carrier
you used to ship the item. You might be able to receive additional assistance
from the shipping service. If it was sent through the United States Postal
Service, you may want to file mail fraud charges. Please go to:
http://www.usps.gov/websites/depart/inspect/
- - Report the fraudulent buyer or seller both to law enforcement officials in
your area, and in the area where the buyer or seller lives. To find law
enforcement agencies by area, please visit:
http://www.usacops.com
When you contact a law enforcement officer, please explain the following:
- eBay will be happy to help with the officer's investigation.
- For more information on how the officer can contact eBay, go to:
http://pages.ebay.com/securitycenter/law_enforcement.html
-- You may also want to file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint
Center (IC3). The IC3 is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the National White Collar Crime Center. The IC3 will review
complaints and refer information to the appropriate local, state, or federal
agency. To file a complaint with the IC3, please go to:
http://www.ic3.gov/
We also need you to take a few minutes to provide more information related to
the transaction. The information you provide will allow us to work more
effectively with law enforcement should an investigation occur. Please go to:

Thanks for your cooperation.

Hello Listers
I emailed the individual on eBay asking.....
Hi i was wondering whats the weight of the meteorite and if you have more
images that you have taken. Also how did you get the meteorite?
And the individuals response was......
"3.7 Lb. I am the owner of the medical building it feel on. No this is the only
photo. It is in a container for it's own protection. Thank you."
- systemswirefly
I guess the owner must have found more fragments of the Lorton meteorite
because the last time I checked it weighed at 318g, making it less then a lbs.
I also called up the Smithsonian today and spoke with a women on the phone and
she had told me that the meteorite is no longer in the possession of the Museum
and that the meteorite is with the Lawyers that are dealing with the case. This
might be true that the owner could be selling the meteorite, but he has no clue
what hes doing.
