Buying up an expired domain is not a scam.
Buying up an expired domain of someone he knows, and then tries to sell it to an employee of mine, is scamy.
Threatening to develop it into something else (A Webcam review site) if I didn't buy it is scam-ish and petty. He could have at least offered to give me a banner on his site or something).
Plugging in Streamate and going to Twitter with a sound-alike name and spell-alike domain name is definitely scammy. He's attempting to trick our few loyal customers by creating brand confusion.
If you were pushing a product on GFY, and I created an account named Fat_Panda and posted products or services that went to a different site, I would be trying to scam your customers. If I offered to sell it to you for $$, I would be scamming you.
I get what you're saying though. Maybe a better phrase would have been "A GFY users is trying to fuck me over".
