Scammer send fake renewal notices to get your credit card information.
New scams have popped up recently, concerning the domain renewal notices.
The scammers send out an email with the subject line "DomainName.com Expiration" where DomainName is one of the domains that you own.
Interestingly, when you click the link, you are taken to a page where the renewal charges are just $3 per year.
The site you are taken to has the following features:
1) Site looks like ICANN. Logo and copyright notice are copied.
2) The prices are well below wholesale.
3) The site uses the domain name domaiinregistration.com
The domain was registered on September 18 to someone using an address in China.
Find the article here:

P.S. One of the comment says that blockchaiins.com is also registered by the same user. Now that is related with Bitcoins, the crypto-currency. So kindly be alert with this as well!!
