This is an SEO thing, they hijack your domain to get their rank up a bit then ditch you for their commercial website.
Had that once working for a client, just added a rule about if requests came from the fake URL I redirect them to a porn website. Worked like a charm and they stopped their scam by the end of the day.

Can't you turn the tables by sending a permanent redirect to your own domain, thereby stealing whatever SEO ranking they built up?

I'm not an SEO expert just asked around around the office, Googled it, and then acted. I was just a backend dev and this (a part from a couple of vague forum questions) is not that well documented, so I don't know how this works exactly.
