Craigslist Scammers Stealing my listing Info

The past couple of turns we’ve had, I’ve been alerted to Craigslist scammers taking photos of my listing, and all other info, and creating fake rental listings using my properties here in Orlando Other than flagging them on Craigslist and trying to make contact by responding to the ad’s, has anyone else had this problem and been somewhat successful in eliminating these scammers? Trying to be proactive here and prevent some unknowing person from becoming a victim- just not sure what I can do!?!

I have prevented this so far by never putting the house number in the ad. It is too much work for scammers to try and determine house number...so far.
