Domain Renewal Scam Charges 10 Times Normal Fee

We just got this spam and in looking at what they do, it does not appear to be another domain transfer scam, but a "service" to help you remember to renew your domain name (as if registrars don't already send many reminders!).

But at $69.95 they charge almost 10 times what a basic renewal fee would be. If you get a spam from them, please report it to your domain registrar, the spammer's ISP, and ICANN. The domain below will redirect you to their main domain at
