No they wouldn't, because the far narrower beam width means that not only is there a low probability that they would happen to be aimed in our direction, but that if they did happen to hit us, they would remain aimed at us long enough for us to detect an artificial pattern (modulation) before planetary rotation etc. moves their direction away from us.
