    Hello all,

    Today I have received an email from domain renewal company.

    "Domain holder

    This is a notice to remind you, expiry date of the domain DOMAIN123.info is 60 days. Do not forget to renew in time.
    We will help you to renew your domain name automatically.
    Click below to renew
    ---------->> http://WWW.DOMAIN123.INFO.domainrenewalonline.org/

    Your domain will be renewed once your payment has been received by us.

    DOMAIN123 is example domain.
    Yesterday I renewed on Godaddy for about $7.17 for info domain.
    They want "only $79.95 for 1 year renewal.
    Sounds suspicious to me.

    What do you think?

    And somewhat ridiculous because if your domain is registered with Godaddy how someone else can ask you to renew with them whether costly or cheap?
