Does anyone have any experience trying to get scam listings off of Craigslist?   There are some scammers out there taking all of our listings and postings them as their own, taking deposits from unsuspecting tenants.

It seems as if Craigslist is actively helping these scammers!  Nearly imossible to delete the postings. 

Any help?

 I dont go on there much but i think you can watermark them.. and i think there is a way to turn them in and in a few hours they are removed..

I had a scammer put an add in for a free Moped of all things and put my number in there not sure how they got it.. but anyway my phone blew up for 2 hours.. i took a few of the calls told those folks it was a scam they reported it and finally taken down.
