What to do about FAKEbook (Facebook) posts?

First of all, I don't have a Facebook account. My company doesn't either. We don't need it and don't want it. 

Long story short, someone posted my number on Facebook (really should be called Fakebook) apparently generially advertising me as property manager for phantom property and (apparently-- I haven't seen the post) w/o background checks I don't manage and my company doesn't own. I've tried to find out who posted and I am 0 for 6. People will not disclose who posted. I have received over 240 calls the last I checked. The volume has slowed some, but I'm up to 7 already this morning.

Does anyone know how to 1) find out who posted? and 2) how to Eliminate the post? I've tried googleing but to no avail. Is there something like on Craigslist?

For Craigslist posts, there is a "flag" option that is effective in getting posts removed. The best method I know is to post a 'real' ad on CL to explain what is going on (someone is posting your property for rent without your conscent) along with a link to the fake post and a request for the CL community to 'flag' the fake post. I'm looking for something like this for Fake Facebook posts.

Thanks in advance. Got two three calls while typing this... what a PITA.
