Should I pay this annual invoice?" ....Wait, that is not a bill.  It is marketing materials.

There are a number of ambitious "annual domain listing" companies that send marketing materials which appear like invoices for domain related services.  DO NOT PAY THIS BILL without clearly reviewing this invoice to determine exactly what they are billing you for.  If you take the time to read these letters, it is very clear that they are simply offering you services.  These services appear to be related to being listed in their directory.  So really, it is not a scam, as they do clearly note that they are proposing "ANNUAL domain listing services" and nothing else.  I am sure they may provide great domain listing services on their business directory. However, this is not a required service for your domain or website.
