The whole business has become a con David, to an extent anyway. Got your .co.uk and .com? What about .biz... or .tv... or .eur . New domains are being released every month or so it seems... and I would have thought that only the biggest companies will be able to, or have to, 'protect' themselves by getting the new domains. I wouldn't worry too much... but the website you mentioned with the .co.uk domain is hosted by uk2.net which may suggest they or one of their customers own it.
