Sorry, but I don't know what you mean when you complain about your ad's being phished. The term is used to describe email spoofing, to fool the recipient into thinking that a message originated elsewhere. So email users, not ads, are phished.

Craigslist discusses extensively the general topic of abuse at http://www.craigslist.org/about/help/abuse.
