We're an independent help site, not Craigslist.

In all liklihood someone entered your phone number instead of his/hers, by mistake. There's not much you can do, unfortunately. Posts are automatically deleted, usually after a week; so I'd give it that much time.

You can write Craigslist using this form, but don't expect too much.
