If these folks who "sell" tiny parcels of land with an accompanying title actually did it in the name of conservation and gave titles that didn't fly in the face of Scottish heritage and tradition (Friend of Lochaber, Defender of Lochaber's Natural Heritage, etc.), I would be behind it 100%. Given the way that it is advertised, however, I think far too many people are being hoodwinked into thinking they actually have a legal Scottish title. Those that don't think this may be doing it for a bit of fun, but they're still helping to keep these shysters in business.
And those schemes really pale in comparison, as Jock Scot has said, to those that style themselves as nobles, build up a following, and threaten those that might expose them. To me, these are the very worst types; pretending to be something they are not and using a made-up title and naïve followers to intimidate others.
Both should really be stopped, and I applaud your efforts to do so!
