Domain Name Scam

I received a letter from Las Vegas. Actually, the Kroger store where my chess club meets received the letter, addressed to the "Greenwood Chess Club." They knew that I was in charge of the club, so the employees passed the letter on to me.

I have a blog devoted to the chess club on Blogger:
https://greenwoodchessclub.blogspot.com/

The blog does not contain my address, but it does include the address of the Kroger store, so that is where the scammers sent the letter.

The letter was a bill for roughly $300 to renew my domain name. The problem is that "greenwoodchessclub.blogspot.com" is not a domain name, nor is "blogspot.com" my domain. I simply maintain the blog on the Blogspot website.
