Looks like a non-upci company is holding the domain name and has it for sale?

They probably register all sort of names hoping you go to the wrong one and then click on a link so they get paid

Oh, right. Some people....

Or they are hoping that the UPCI will buy it and pay big bucks to ensure people do not get confused.

What a gimmick. Know the UPCI stands for certain standards, and purposely put opposite on a domain name easily mistaken as official UPCI, and then have the UPCI pay bigtime to get the domain name. Suppose?

Common practice and likely not a deliberate thing. Deliberate persecution anyhow. When a domain expires especially if it is regestered by a domain company in the pacific rim, it goes into a 3 month cycle before oblivion. The original opwner has about a month to reclaim it, then it goes into a 2 month holding pattern where no-one can claim it.

During that three month period the registrar will point it to a monitized ad site with ads that generally are close to the domain names topic. Right now there may be a hundred or more domians pointing to that page.

Speculators who purchase the domain name as soon as it becomes available again will do likewise. However on their pages there will usually be a "This domain is for sale" link.

It is nothing personal, just business, in both cases.

The site actually looks like a domain name placeholder.

I have owned a couple of domains for some time and pay an annual renewal fee:

InJesusName.us
and
PentecostalSite.com

Some day I might get smart enough to do something with them.

I have a friend that owns a number of domains that are similar to other domain names. The hope is that someone will mis-spell the right one and end up at his. They then click a link while there and he gets paid. He gets about 100 a month
