It look like this scam has not died a death yet! I received this letter today from The Domain Registry of America, a very official sounding company saying that I had to renew two of my Domain Names and they could do this for me!
The domain names in question were not registered with/through this company so why they think I would want to renew with them I have no idea, but of course on closer reading of the letter you can see that what they are offering is that if I send in the letter (with money) it would effectively transfer my domain names to them from my current registrar, not something that is a good idea.
It seems that this company has come in for quite a bit of stick of the years for sending out these sorts of letters and it has already been barred from carrying out this practice in the USA by the Federal Trade Commission.

You can find about much more about this scam by running their name through Google, there are over a million hits! Be warned!
