Spam by snail mail

Just got a letter today from a firm called Domain Renewal Group.

It said one of my domains is due to run out in Aug but I should renew now.

I thought it had come from the firm, that Iregistered the domain with.

But I checked its a different firm.

Its clever as I bet a few people would have sent payments.

This is nothing new actually, and a stupid attempt at bringing new clients on board.

Just write, FUCKOFF in big letters on the form and send it back.

I wonder how legall it is to do this in the UK.

I get those all the time from quite a few different companies, but doubt there's anything illegal about it.
