Postlets Ads Hijacked and Posted to CL

My Postlets advertisement for a rental vacancy was hijacked by a scammer(s) who reposted all of my information with my pictures to Craigslist with a low price and their name and number. They used a google voice number. They claimed to be out of state owners and tried to get inquirers to wire them a deposit for a promise to fedex the keys to them.

I flagged their ad repeatedly until it disappeared and I had to do it again this morning. I've never had anything like this happen when I posted directly to CL, Trulia or Zillow. Has anyone else had anything like this with a Postlets ad? One click syndication might not be so cool after all?
