Humm, not sure about this. I would be surprised if there was any truth to this, and certainly if there was actually any good evidence to prove it. You say you were advised, by who? and what firm evidence did they provide? I just had a quick check on google and did a couple of searches and checked the whois information for the top results and didn't find a single site with more than a year or two on their names. Google hasn't bothered with their domain name. If the only reason your changing to the .com is because of this I would reconsider, its not a very good reason.

Sounds dodgy, very dodgy.
