Received An Email From Cragslist Stating My Account Is On Hold?

I listed an ad for a rental home about three days ago.  Since that time I have received about 7 or 8 emials from criagslist stating the couunt is going to be put on hold unless I verify my account which I have done every time.  Today i got an email stating my account is on hold.  It tells me to go to a site but when I do that i get a message telling me the site is not to be trusted?

It's likely that your emails from Craigslist were not really from Craigslist. If in fact your posts will not go through, you can try to resolve the issue using this form. In any case, most holds are removed before too long.
