Craigslist Posts Are Not Mine

Received a set of 5 emails from craigslist each stating a post had been made on my account. They all seemed to be the same item, but had different post numbers. They all said (cars and trucks-by owner) 2002 530i, low mileage, 1 owner, excellent condition) The return email was [email protected]. It seems to me that I  have been hacked into, as they are all listed on my craigslist account page also, and whats worse is they have all been flagged and deleted. Do I have to contact craigslist now, will this be a mark against my account now, I am new to craigslist and would like some advice on what steps I need to take.  Thank you so much
