I think you need to consider it from an SEO point of view primarily. Anyone trying to find a service, business, etc will then be connected to your page.

I'd be very surprised if they haven't already done so. I say it ain't worth the hassle because all you do is attract people then irritate them when they see you're a fake version. It would bug me anyway.
