Maybe you are thinking of every deindex that you see articles written about?

There was a fraudulent website listing my vacation rental as their own with their own number listed as the "owner's phone number" and everything. The entire site is vrbo listings with fake owners number. Every property had the same number.

Do you know how hard it is to get a website taken down in the U.S.? Their hosting provider, GoDaddy, did nothing saying they don't deal in illegal matters and to contact the FBI. The FBI did nothing. The only thing that got the listing taken down was a DMCA request to GoDaddy on the photos and text as they were ripped direct ly from VRBO. In 48 hours my listing was removed. Site stayed up and my listing came back two more times. Each time I filed a DMCA with GoDaddy and the listing would be taken down. Even their BBB listing had multiple people calling it a scam. https://www.bbb.org/us/fl/cape-canaveral/profile/vacation-re...

Excerpt from the letter from GoDaddy:

  If you have concerns regarding abuse issues (such as scams, etc) please submit a complaint using the form located at ABUSEFORM.COM.  We are not able to assist you with abuse based complaints from the Intellectual Property Infringement Claims department.

  If you feel that illegal activity is taking place with regards to this website content, you'll want to contact law enforcement.  GoDaddy is not a law enforcement agency and cannot perform an investigation of this nature.  We will be happy to assist law enforcement if they contact us directly about an open investigation.

  Thank you.
