It rather depends on who you're planning to domain squat... essentially if you're buying it to try to sell on to said company expect to have the domain handed over to them. If you're looking to actually develop the website I'd be asking why you really want to use the same domain name...
so as long as i develop the site i should be ok?

It depends, any reason you must use a non-specified existing domain with a different TLD? I'm guessing that's what you mean. I wonder how long until someone brings up mike rowe?
Just theres a mod i used to play that has the same name as a bank, i wanted to up load files and pictures, keep the memory going.

If the name is a trademark / registered trademark of the other company then you could be risking an infringement of that. If it's a big company and they actively protect trademarks the chances are that they'll already have pre-ordered the domain anyway, tbh. I don't think there's really any way of knowing how the company will react without putting it to the test though....
I just purchased 3 of them, see how it goes.

Trademark will be the concern. If they have one for the region you are in then forget it.
owner of the all 3 dom names just got confirmation email.

Basically the biggest risk is having to take time to attend a tribunal if your right to the name is disputed. I don't believe there's been cases bought against people unless they've been involved in some other trademark infringement.
E.g. if you buy say pepsi.co and started marketting a cola based drink from it, then you'd likely end up in court. If you bought pepsi.co and then launched a fan site from it, then the worst that'll happen is the domain gets taken off you.
