Someone is advertising my property for sale

Hi guys,

So my property was on the market for a couple of month this summer through a realtor. Now I see its being advertised as for sale by owner on Zillow and Trulia. First I did not pay attentions to it, but then I started getting calls from some random people asking to show the property. I agreed to do that thinking they are the buyers, but they bring other people who I think they are trying to sell to. I think they are trying to be wholesalers, which would be fine, except they advertise as my property as the property owners without discussing that step with me. So, if you call on the add on Zillow or Trulia, their phone number will come up, as owners, not mine.

What do I do?

Call police? Police probably wont do much...

I would like to advertise my property myself on zillow and trulia, and I would like MY number to come up, not theirs...

What would you do?
