I am interested in the construction of a product. I found a business that is doing something similar and wanted to "pose" as a customer an ask questions to get more info. So technically using the response from their sales team to build my product.

Example would be probing how their materials are made if not advertised.

Is there any risk in this? Should I change my name? Can a business down eventually look at my business. Search my name in their customer message database and track it to me the CEO seeing that I am producing a component that is similar?
