Postlets Ads Hijacked and Posted to CL

[Robert Leonard]

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?

I doubt it would matter if you posted it on postlets or not. They just need the address and photos which can be pulled from anywhere. There's not too much you can do about it expect report it when noticed.
