I've received a letter from Domain Registry Services is this real?

This is a fraudulent domain name renewal notice. DO NOT respond to this notice.

Letters are currently being distributed making false claims to encourage uses to reply submitting payment details for bogus renewals. The letters are being distributed by The Domain Registry of America, Domain Registry of Europe and EU Registry Services The letters are headed "DOMAIN EXPIRATION NOTICE" claiming that your domain name/s are at risk if they are not renewed immediately.

These letters are actually offers to transfer your domain name to another registrar. If you take up the offer you will be changing your contract, may lose any free services currently provided and may face higher renewal fees.

If you receive one of these letters or have any questions regarding your renewal dates please investigate before making any payment.

To investigate the renewal date/s of your domain name simply type the domain name into the search area in the top right. You will then be able to see if the name is taken and if you click on "view owner information" details of the current owner and expiration date will be displayed.
