    Default renewal notice for domain's i do not own, error or scam

    I have received renewal notices for two domains that i certainly do not own,
    looking at the emails ,they appear to be genuine and even the headers do not indicate any kind of phishing effort,

    Just wondering if they were genuine mistake from mitsu or it indeed is a scam,
    and if the original owner have indeed got their renewal notice or not,

    This is a first for me (2 domains ,both .com )

    I have sent mails to the registrar regarding this .
    appreciate inputs

    regards

    edit..

    looking at the whois , registrar does not appear to be mitsu!

    Amazed that the emails were from mitsu for renewal !

    banking on some convincing answers on this one ,,

    ...update..
    mitsu has confirmed that it is a phish !
    they have stated that they do not even have the order i.d. in their system,
    however link is something like this

    Login Page

    which is exactly like the routine genuine ones!

    Have provided the headers to mitsu team for unravelling the scam,

    nope mate,
    never even heard the names before!

    an update on the issue,
    have not heard back from mitsu also,

    but received another similar mail this time from the payment gateway (purportedly) !!

    Dear Customer,

    This is to inform you that the merchant has initiated the refund process for order number SAKT0001626873 for your transaction on http://www.pxxxxxx.com. This refund request has been forwarded to the concerned bank and we await their reply.Rest assured amount would reflect in your account as per the bank's procedure.

    Until then we request for your cooperation.
    however a quick header examination (a novice one that) could not find anything wrong,
    a bit worrisome, which is real and which scam
    can provide header etc to ip detection and person with more expertise in this regards,
