Luxury 2BR Apt., $700 a Month: A Craigslist Scam!

The ad on Craigslist last week sounded too good to be true. A two-bedroom apartment was available in Hoboken for a mere $700 a month, much lower than the usual starting price of around $1,500. This particular unit boasted marble floors, a laundry room, and a sixth-floor window overlooking Washington Street.

But across the country, ads like this one that sound too good to be true usually are. Details in the ads in Hudson County do make them seem legitimate – including the number of blocks the unit is from the local PATH station, and photos of the interior. One recent ad even provided an address on Second Street in Hoboken.
