My Email Address Is Being Used To Place Adds

It may be a simple mistake: another poster's address was misspelled as yours. You state, "...the second add was placed afterwords." It's not clear how you know when those other ads were placed. Perhaps you mean that the second false reply was sent afterwords. If so, that's not significant, as folks don't always reply promptly.
If you continue to receive false replies, just delete your ad and if you wish to run it again, set up a Craigslist account first. Then don't include an email address in your ad, but use the Craigslist option to anonymize.
If you need more guidance, post a follow-up question here.
