Another day another scam

It is a fact of life these days being scammed, seems like everyone is doing it.
Today I received a domain renewal email from a company called ISP DOMAIN NAME SERVICES for a domain that had been renewed last month.
Clicking on the link shows a website that looks quite genuine but if you look closely at the bottom you will see ISP Renewal SIA, Maskavas 55, Latvia;
Looking at their contact page it shows London phone numbers which are not available;
If you are caught by these scammers you will be paying $79.95 for just 1 years registration and up to $699.95 for 10 Years registration.
Considering registration for a .com domain is around £20-£30 for 2 years registration that is a huge amount of profit, and then you have to ask yourself will they even actually renew the domain anyway or just take your money and run?
Don't be taken in by these scammers, check with your web designer, ISP or whoever registered your domain originally to ensure your domains are renewed correctly and on time.
Would be good if the authorities had the power to shut these people down as they waste so much time and cost so much money, but they are always outside the country and in most cases outside the law.

I thought that these scams would die off but I suppose the thing about the Internet is that there is a never ending flow of new people coming onto it who could be fleeced for everything they own.
