Is it the nicest thing to do probably not, but the competitors site in question has 625 registered complaints with the BBB in the last 4 yrs for stealing peoples money. In essence I am keeping them from stealing someone elses money.
You're providing a good service then. Are cease and refrain letters applicable to adword campaigns or are they just for copyright issuer? Being scammers they may not have a copyright on the domain name, especially if it's not a brand name, which gives you a little more leverage. I'd stall until my atty gets in on Monday. From that article it seems the real companies are taking google on rather than their competitiors that are using their domain so they probably know it's not possible to stop their competitor.

I'm guessing differently.
