I just received one of these too. Here is what I did.
I just received one of these too. The wording is very similar to those listed above. It is interesting that they clam another company is requesting to register domains that I already own and have been pointing to my web site for years and are completely current! The letter contained a list of domains allegedly desired by this other company, but they put a space after the “.” In all the domains like this: www. xxxx.com with the space before the first x. I nearly had a heart attack when I clicked the links in the letter and saw all these open to 404 error pages instead of the pages I thought they were aimed at! I found the space and realized that it was a hoax.
All the domains but two were working and pointing to my website as they should. I was able to register the two other domains for a few bucks with another registrar and I now regard the matter closed. This is a pretty good scam that allows the scammer to sell highly overpriced domains to the unwary, when they can be purchased from other registrars for a lot less.
