As you know we sell parts on the internet,, 2-3 times a week we get an email like this, and most times I just toss it, But my smart arse Son gave me this idea to try to get them to send their bogus checks to the RACINE POLICE DEPARTMENT (aka)RAPD I wonder if this idiot will send it there! hey if any of you have an idea of what more I can add to these letters send it along to me!
ya know the sad thing is, I just read last week that a Racine girl got taken for 5k on just such a scam. these people send out thousands of these, if one person gets tricked, they made their money, sad though.

Hey, this sounds absolutely great! I work at a small store, and am the only one behind counter, so if you just send your check to RAPD (my nick name) its kinda of a race nick name you know, like rapid! anyway here is my address
RAPD 730 Center street Racine Wi 53403-1134
The part is just as described, Maybe even a little better! The asking price is $1,049.00 and I really dont want to take a penny less! Your welcome to come and look at it your self, but since your so far away, I guess you will just have to take my word for it! I look forward to your Check, and working with you, and IPS! kind regards Willy (RAPD)
