No - they don't seem to be doing it so much now but a while ago they were sending hits with Bing as the referrer with a relevant query string and a normal looking UA, but when you look up the IP address it turns out to be a MSNBOT address range. If you didn't know you'd be thinking you were doing rather well in Bing search results when you weren't.
Actually I just checked a few hits from Bing in my stats and they definitely still are doing it.
