You mean, like say.... Domain Registry of America? I have a stack of
over 50 letters from these guys sitting on my desk. Some of our clients
have us listed as the billing contact, which is good in this case since
we can intercept this crap. However, we have and do continue to lose
customer thanks to their unethical practices.

1. Unsolicited renewal offers from third parties
-------------------
We would like to advise you of a business practice that is
becoming common in the domain marketplace and may result
in you losing customers. With increasing frequency,
companies are making unsolicited offers directed towards
existing registrants of other firms.
A company will send a letter (sometimes email, sometimes
postal) to a domain registrant thanking them for either
registering, or renewing their domain name. The letter
will also invite them, in language that suggests a prior
business relationship exists with the soliciting company,
to make some change to the domain, or to renew it, which
would result in the name being transferred to the new
organization.
