A company named Domain Renewal is sending out renewal notices to domain owners. Domain Renewal is not the registrar and, despite their claims to the contrary, cannot renew your domain on your behalf. In all likelihood, they are just taking your money. Scams preying on domain owners are an old story, with many of them relying on direct paper mail. There have even been successful prosecutions in the past. The Domain Renewals contact comes in e-mail. Don't assume, just because they seem to know so much about you and your domain, that they have any official status. All that information is public record.
It's essential for domain owners to know who their registrar is and, if they are dealing with a reseller, who the reseller is. Make sure your domain is locked with the registrar and if you have any doubt about who is contacting you, call the company from whom you got the domain using the contact information they gave you at the time.
