If they screwed up somehow, they're kind of obligated to fix it. Otherwise, they just stole somebody else's domain and let you register it.
I would be a little skeptical. Make sure that the email really is from your registrar. Also, it's likely that "do nothing" is your best course of action, in any case. If the email is legitimate, there's nothing you can do to stop them. If it's a scam of some kind, you avoid increasing your exposure to risk.
- forty 5y agoThe thing I'm wondering is whether the registry is not trying to get the domain back for them (which would be possible given the domain). I cannot find any trace of the domain on the internet, so at least I don't think it was used. I don't know if there is some kind of way back machine for domain name records / whois ?

- forty 5y agoInteresting thanks. This does say there was activity on this domain before
