Northwest Florida Realtor: Getting Craigslist to remove faudulent posting. How?

Getting Craigslist to remove faudulent posting. How?

Via Sarah & John Rummage (American Realty Resources, Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin TN):

I got two calls yesterday from nice people who let me know that John's name and a fraudulent email address is attached to a scam/fraud rental ad. I have sent 3 emails to Craigslist to remove it.  Still nothing. The ad is still online, with an unbelievably low rent, and 'send your deposit to Africa instruction.'

Is there a way to get this removed?  Is there a goverment body to report this to?  Should anybody even look in Craigslist for rental ads?  I wouldn't.

Brandon,  I have a real problem in my area with Craigslist spam on my listings I have put in.  They are ads that are selling all kinds of things with nothing to do with the housing market.   I also get spam on my activerain blog,  it is only once in a while but then I get hit about 40-50 times with viagra etc adds.   I turn them in the activerain but sometimes they still continue.   Hope you have a great weekend.
