Something similar happened in Belgium in 2021. The Flemish government launched a compensation scheme for solar panel owners via a site called tellercompensatie.be.
I registered the obvious typo variant: teller-compensatie.be right after the tv and radio announcements, added a visitor counter and a link to the real site. It got ~20k hits in a few days, my second most popular project thus far.I just went to check the “official” domain and it looks like the domain is now owned by an ad network. Classic.
A news article link ( https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2021/01/22/compensatieregeling-...) still ises that domain name in it’s article, but now redirects to a proper gov site: vlaanderen.be/veka
