Warning on Scam Domain Renewals

We've recently received a letter on behalf of a client regarding domain renewals. We also received a second directly to us for one of our own domains. These letters were from "The Domain Renewal Group" and appear official looking. See the picture below:

The letter goes on to ask that the domain owner subject a fee payable by cheque for renewal of the domain. This fee, substantially above what we charge, should not be submitted. We automatically renew our clients' domains on their behalf an invoice them electronically.

Sending payment to this company may cause your domain to be transferred. This may cause interruptions to your online services, such as your website becoming unavailable and your email ceasing to work.

If you are in doubt, please feel free to contact us.
