Lots of answers about why, and it could be one or many of them. Scammy reasons likely.

A somewhat innocent reason could be that someone sent a newsletter email or shared a link to your site, but mistyped the URL, so to save their users from getting NXDOMAIN errors l, or even worse, someone registering it with illintentions, they registered and 301 redirected to you.
