Unauthorized Personal Posting

Someone posted a personal using my name (which shows) and e-mail address. I have contacted Craigslist using the link to report such incidents, but I have not received a response so that I know the posting has been taken down. I am unable to reach a person by phone.

Sorry for your problems, but there's not much more you can do. As I hope you know, we're an independent help site not connected with Craigslist. With its huge user base and small staff, Craigslist's attention to such matters is at best limited. I can suggest only that with your email program you may want to create a "vacation" message informing writers of the prank. Good luck!
