You can find out who did it but it will be hard and expensive. Before you hire a lawyer, consider:
1. Filing a police report.
2. Flagging the ad from multiple computers (which will get it removed faster).
3. If you has an iPhone or Android phone, installing a call screening app that plays a recording, makes people unblock their number, and makes callers press a number to get through...

Call Criaglist, do not wait for them to respond to flags,Definitely report the post to Craig's list. It is a common prank. Sorry it happened

Thanks
