Help! Someone pretend to be the homeowner of my rental

Some potential tenants found our real posting on Zillow and let us know. I've filed a police report and IC3. He just continues posting the fake AD with a super low appealing price on Facebook. There is no real email address or phone # that I can reach out to Facebook. The report button is totally useless on Facebook and the Ad is still there after a few days. I really want to stop him!! Not only for myself but he is asking those who are interested to wire money and give him the copies of their ID. If you have any idea how to take legal action or to stop him, please advise. Thanks! 

Here is the fake one from Josh Smith https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/504385127046192/

These things happen, not a lot more you can do.
