beware of domain registration scams

Below is an e-mail we received a few days ago and immediately identified as a scam, and thought we'd share it as a public service.

Maurienne House is an imprint we created about 10 years for those books we produce for self-publishers who want to sell them through us rather than themselves.

Firstly, the annual domain re-registration fee in the US is typically $14 not $86; secondly, our domain doesn't expire on March 31, thirdly, there is no identification in this as to who it's from.

The information reproduced in this comes from whois.com  The $86 amounts they collect will go straight into the scammers own pockets.

Always be on your guard against this sort of thing.
