I got a letter in the post the other day addressed to 'Stephen Coates Organisation', in an envelope with a logo of 'Domain Renewal Group'.
I did wonder for a moment if maybe LCN had rebranded or something and decided to write to me regarding my domain name which will expire in a few months.
I opened it up and it wasn't anything to do with LCN, but rather a letter from an American company (with a UK address) which reads like a bill but was actually just an invitation to transfer my domain to them... for double what I pay now.
I did a bit of googling and it looks like this is actually quite common. Though this was the first time I had heard of it.
Does anyone else get these letters?
