Twice this year reservations cancelled after confirmed and half paid

Each booked, partial payment about 6 months in advance. Both cancelled with "property no longer available" about a month prior to start. Twice left scrambling with limited availability and much higher prices. Once Sorrento, now also Berlin. I have done about 20 previous rentals without issue. What is going on at VRBO?

Uber driver scam in Rome

I was scammed by an Uber driver last night. It was about a 5 km drive, maybe 10 minutes from a restaurant to an airport hotel, a taxi technically not an uber, but ordered and paid through the Uber app. The taxi meter read about 12 euros, but when I checked the app after he had entered the 35 euros as the metered amount and I was billed 35. Should have got a picture of the meter. Should have just ignored Uber and paid cash to cut out the potential for the driver abusing the app billing process. Uber accepts his charge regardless of how outrageous it is for the time and distance that they know of through the app mapping. Apparently nothing I can do except don't trust Uber.
