Someone is cybersquatting my blog

    I recently received a nasty comment on my blog about me spamming forums and couldn't figure out what they were talking about.

    Today I see that someone has an identical blogspot url as mine, except that they added a "2" to the end.
    mine (sample-sample.blogspot)
    theirs (sample-sample2.blogspot)

    They added one single character to the url.

    Their site is a complete spam site and I did a search for that site's url and see that indeed they have been spamming comments on every forum under the sun.

    Since this is a free blogspot blog, is there anything I can do about it?

    I am afraid that others will see that URL spammed everywhere and think it is me.

    Damn that really sucks.
    You could mail blogspot about it, but I severely doubt they'll do much.

    1) This isn't cybersquatting
    2) No, there really isn't much you can do about it
