I am getting them too and just reporting them as spam through the normal abuse channels. I gave not seen an email based domain scam for a long time and I hope they are not back or spam filters will start filtering our renewal notices again. Many still block anything that mentions domain names. We have a cunning way round it (an email containing one link to a special web page with the email on it) but its not ideal and should not be necessary. ABout twice a week I have to send a letter in the post because emaiul will not get to a customer. Email is becoming very unreliable and its people like this we have to blame for it.
