These folk have called our Service desk twice recently claiming that certificates are about to expire (when they were not) and this arrived over night. I know this certificate was renewed a couple of months ago.
These attempts to get us to renew are borderline fraudulent so I thought I would warn others...
The attempt is not only too close to be fraudulent, but highly stupid: The expiration date included on the email is in the past (8/23/2006)!
They followed up a couple of hours later with another email with the same date in 2010. Enquires with Comodo reveal that this crowd are not in anyway associated with them and that probably means that the whole scheme is a scam I.E. you pay your money and receive nothing -- just like the domain renewal scams.
