Why Was My Ip Address Blocked ?

I'm 63, preschool teacher. Last post to CL one month ago to re home summer camp hermit crabs. I've maybe posted five things in last two years!I browse listings mostly to find school toys or help daughter find a house.Last month I answered ad for a house rental and it was a scam! I discovered it, notified the real house owner who had no idea some foreigner had posted her house on CL- then emailed the scammer back that I had reported the scam. I didn't think anymore about it until TODAY when I was suddenly BLOCKED from CL!!I'm thinking my CL account has been hijacked and someone must be posting things that I'm unaware of !!! Have you heard of this sort of thing happening and HOW DO I RESOLVE IT?? Thanks

Yes Craigslist accounts do fall victim to hackers and consequently get abused to the point of being blocked. See How Do I Get Unblocked From Craigslist?
