Domain Name Scam Techniques Used
Domain Registry of America send out "renewal notices" in official looking envelopes for international (.com .org .net) domains they do not control. The letter appears to be a legitimate renewal notice, but if you complete the tear off strip and pay your money, you will actually be transferring your domain into the control of DRoA.
The letter is cleverly worded making this a legal deception.

They also call themselves "Domain Renewal Group" - using the same mailbox address (56 Gloucester Road, London).
They are even stupid enough to quote the wrong renewal date - I have a .com domain that's registered until 2014, but they told me it was due to expire this year.
