As soon as we have received your payment, you will receive a confirmation that your domain

I got in touch with my registrar (domainshack / enom) and asked them about this, they responded with the following:

It's a renewal scam. They try to mislead domain owners into
thinking that they are the registration service provider for their
domain. I own lots of domains too so I get these. There are a few going
around doing this. domainrenewalonline.com was registered just last
month.
