DNS Registration scam!

I have a domain that expired in the middle of next year, I pay less then $10 per year to Godaddy for it.

Registered through: GoDaddy.com, Inc. (http://www.godaddy.com)
Domain Name: OROVALLE.COM
Created on: 09-Aug-04
Expires on: 09-Aug-11

So I get this E-mail below from some company that has nothing to do with my domain, sounding very official.

F-ing Scammers SPAMMERS.

If you get an E-mail like this DON'T Fall for it.
