I had a client call me with a variation of this scam the other day. He was
called saying "Would your business be affected by having someone register
...co.com?"

A little puzzled he called me to ask if it would be. What I think they were
doing was using Google's inurl: prefix to find all companies with "company"
in the domain name and offering them the shortened "co" as a variation.

I thought that was pretty smart hehe
