Room for Rent and other rental scams
by Orangerie Wed Mar 26, 2014 5:47 pm
I found this apartment on craiglist http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/sub/4382354715.html and as instructed by the announce I went to this page http://www.notjustokapartment.com
I inquired about the availability and the answer was kind of weird. I googled the phone number +1 617-701-7645 and found this forum.
This is their final answer
