Unfortunately it is a fact of online life that if you wish to protect your name then you need multiple domains that are the same or very different.
They are not necessarily scammers but maybe domain name gamblers where they register a domain similar to a popular name hoping to make a profit. The domain was first registered to them in October last year. They don't supply contact details (against the rules of registration).
There are still a number of similar names available - I'll not list them here or they could be registered for the same purpose.

PM sent about this. We should be careful what is posted here publicly and especially what links are added when discussing this.
