It may not be a good long term strategic decision, while you might siphon off some traffic confusing you for the other site they intended to go to, it eventually might limit your brand's being able to dominate the field later on.

You are probably OK as long as the base words the 2 sites would share are not a trademarked named, (NikeSource.com could be a problem)

Probably the best source wold be the U.S.s Cyber-Squatting laws that you can lookup.
