Maybe some others have seen this, as well...
I just received an official looking "Vessel Reinstatement Courtesy Notice" from "U.S. Vessel Documentation" web site, advising me that my USCG documentation had expired and to contact them. The web site is uscgdocumentation.us, which is obviously not the USCG. I'm sure they would be happy to do an unnecessary renewal for me, at a "special" price....just cough-up my credit card #!
I know my certificate is still valid, so it was obviously bogus. I can see, however, how someone could get sucked-in with this scam.
Lots of bottom feeders out there...caveat emptor!
