Anyone else in the UK getting letters about renewing domains? - GoFuckYourself.com

I have had two letters this week from someone claiming to be 'Domain Registry Services' with a mailing address on the Strand in London. They are sending letters that look like you have to renew your domain through it - with a very high price. The two domains I have had the letters on have been registered with different registars so I am sure they are searching renewal dates with UK based info.

The best part is that the way the letter inside the envelop is folded the name of the domain *just*peaks out of the address window. So, my mailman must love knowing my domain names.
