    Nothing new, Domain Registry of America sends you letters in the mail (real snail mail) that look legitimate as well.

    Actually moving one of my clients back from LNOA today. He got suckered in last year by the official looking invoice.

    Not sure how they get around the fact that you have to have the domain unlocked and get a transfer code. They seem very good at what they do: Trick people into buying their "service" at 2X the going rate.
