Another Scam Email-Different One This Time.

I got an email from a company that claimed to be a registry for domain names saying that someone was trying to register the name of my business as a keyword, and I needed to let them know if I wanted to register it first. SO of course this didn't sound right and when I googled "keyword registration scam" this explanation of it came up. http://elliottback.com/wp/domain-name-registration-scam/
Just be aware that you can't register a keyword anywhere, and that these people are just trying to get your credit card info.
Oh, and there's another thing that domain registrars do, which is to send you a notice that your web domain is going to expire soon, which could be true. They're just trying to get you to re-register it with them, not your original registration company, whoever that may be. Make sure that if you re-register your domain that it's with the company you want to register it with, not some random company who catches you offguard.
Yeah. My domain is $8/yr and I get yearly letters to register for $30/ yr. Now why would I do that. The majority of domain hosts will renew it automatically unless you tell them not to.
