<p>I imagine some of you are on craigslist still looking for Berkeley area apartments.</p>
<p>I just want to warn you, there is some sort of international scam running on apartments "available" near campus. I have been hit with this one twice. If you see a 1 bedroom for about $1100 near campus, you might get this in return. The only thing that changes in the emails I get back, is the name of the Rev. and the way they spell Apartment. It is a form they just fill out and send for craigslist scams.</p>
<p>If it is too good to be true, it probably is. Good luck everyone.</p>
