We have become aware of increased postal mailings to our customers telling them about their domain about to expire, and how they can return this letter for a huge fee to renew their domain name.
These mailings have come from ILSCorp, Domain Registry of America, Domain Renewal Group & Liberty Names of America that we are aware of so far.

These are scams trying to slam you in to switching to them for your domain names, and charge prices 3 to 5 times (or more) than what you currently pay. Dryline Hosting does not currently send out any postal mailings for anything, and we have no immediate plans to do so.

Our billing system will send you a number of emails letting you know your domain name is coming up for renewal. If you have it set to auto-renew, it will do just that on it's expiration date provided we can successfully charge your account. You can also add additional years to your domain name registration at any time through your billing account area.

I've wrote more about this scam on our blog http://drylinehosting.com/blog/2009/02/ ... tion-scam/

Here are some examples of their mailings:
