Listing copied and reposted fraudulently. Advise/recourse?

I'm an owner / landlord in Boston. I had just posted my property on Craigslist and someone took the images I posted, changed the wording a little and posted the apartment as a "property manager" on Zillow/Trulia. I do not know this person and now can not list myself. I have reported the listing on both sites. Do I have any recourse here? Small claims? It seems like this person should lose their license? 

I'm guessing when someone is interested they are saying "sorry that apartment is no longer available but check out these other I have". This is likely costing me leads and is obviously extremely scummy. More so it just downright  pisses me off. 

Thanks for any advice
