That would have been the move.

- Destroy the flophouse - Leave a 5 star review on your original booking saying how nice the place was - If the scammers attempt to complain to AirBnB or charge fees, kindly tell them that's not the place you stayed and you have never seen that location. Refer them to the original listing for the beautiful home where your reservation was.

Scammers would be claiming you destroyed a place that AirBnB has no record of you ever staying in.

With the scammers having your personal data, name and (maybe?) address? I'd think thrice before starting a feud with a scammer.
