Domain Renewal Group Scam Letters

I suspect a lot of you have been getting these.

I've put one online today and am trying to raise awareness with people about the issue:
Domain Renewal Group - Warning - Read The Fine Print! - Hosting - Domains - Blacknight Blog

The other ones I've been receiving are the Please sign this for inclusion in our directory ( the very small print saying you're agreeing to sign up for 3 or 4 years and charged 1 - 2 k a year)

Maybe reporting them to the advertising standards lot? The Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland :: Welcome

There's another e-mail based scam out of Latvia that is using the subject ISP Renewal. Not sure if it is a phishing scam or a renewal scam.

Is this a new one ?
Do you have any examples of it?

We've received a few of them sent from dva.lv users in Latvia.

I've uploaded an example to Spiral Hosting Blog - Ireland's Fastest WebHost

Oh that's the same as this one:
Domain Renewal Scam - Blacknight Blog - Hosting - Domains

The email ones don't bother me as much as the hard copy ones tbh ..
