This is a scam of the highest order.

The email looks convincing enough but the company has no association with your domain name (or mine). The link will take you to what looks like a valid payment page where it asks for your credit card details including the 3 digit security number. They are asking $75 for renewal for a domain name that is only $4.99 a year!!

It's made more convincing by having my correct real-world address in the email which suggests they have harvested detaild from the 'whois' database. You can pay a couple of bucks a year to have these detaild hidden, maybe worth considering, I certainly will from now on. (I have hidden personal details in the example below but believe me they were mine).

They say that your domain will expire and you may loose it - Rubbish, the expiry date shown below is NOT the expiry date of the domain they tried to convince me to renew.

The unsubscribe address below is to a PO box, if you're not convinced, search PO Box 4668 New York on line and see what others are saying.

Only EVER renew your domains yourself through the site that they are registered with, you risk loosing your identity, your domain and your bank balance, BEWARE!!
