Not perxactly the same situation, but a couple weeks ago I went to go look up a cabin I rented on VRBO a few years ago.

Couldn't find the same posting, which was odd since I went through my trip links on the site. Did a bit more sleuthing, and discovered that the posting deleted itself and made a new post with a slightly altered name in order to get past some of the bad reviews.

Place wasn't even bad, just needed a few touch ups around the building.
