So, I’m looking for apartments again, and I found some great ones on CraigsList.org. I found one that looked too darn good to be true. But, I emailed, regardless, and got a response. In the response, this woman took the time to write out a long email, detailing a lot of info that a) I wouldn’t give to a stranger, and b) wouldn’t give to a stranger over the phone! She told me how much she made, how long she would be away, etc. In addition, the rental price is out of this world. It’s a downtown LA loft, and she wants $1350 for it – two bed, two bath. I looked at the Met Lofts on CraigsList and it came back with $2700 and higher.
Sounded too good to be true, so I asked a friend. He told me that if I wanted to look at it, it would work, but also that I should take someone with me – since I’m a chick… Very strange. They warn you to only do stuff like this in person, and on the phone, etc, but man, this was strange!
Just thought I’d share…
