Yup.
Not too long ago, it was far too common for unscrupulous employees of office equipment manufacturers, sales and/or repair firms to sell/rent customer lists to scammers, who would, based on their knowledge of what equipment was installed, mail out bogus invoices for supplies, such as toner, or maintenance contracts.
With the blossoming of the 'net came the phony Registrars and Hosts, sending bogus Domain Name renewal notices and bills for non-existent services.
That the present case may be a scam is not so unlikely as to be easily dismissed.
