I’m looking for an apartment on Craigslist and I found a few in Santa Monica that looked good to me.

One in particular looked too good to be true. I figured it’d been rented, but I checked into it just in case it was still available.

Last night I got a response and Exchange decided to put it in my junk mail folder.

Here’s why:
