Jim was a victim of typosquatting, which is a type of cybersquatting where scammers register domain names that are similar to popular or legit domain names but have slight spelling errors, with the intention of tricking users into visiting their fake websites and stealing their personal information. In this case, the scammer registered the domain name "Amazom.com" to mimic the legitimate domain name "Amazon.com".
