Thanks for the reply...

Unfortunately I can't find any reference to these in GWT... I looked at some of the specific pages this was affecting and nothing was there related to those strange domains.

I worry about 404 because what if Google for whatever reason can't figure out where the original page is and decides to just "get rid of it" totally?

I just have a feeling this is but one of many reasons why I am penalized... this, possible google bowling from a huge backlink spike and a huge (growing) number of spam occurrences when querying "www.domain.com + forex".

So far google has ignored my requests, but this is something new I suppose.
