It's not much of a scam.
It makes it perfectly clear that it's just an offer to switch.

Caveat Emptor.
Something isn't 'a scam' simply because some silly people choose to pay too much for something.

I am simply pointing this out to people who don't know about it
super brainy people like yourself should have noticed that.

A worthy effort.
But you don't need to be even loosely brainy to work out that letter.

DRoA have been at it for years, and most of their letters are more deceptive than that one
and they've been sued within an inch of their life on several occasions for letters that were clearly intended to look like a bill.

It would be a scam if you gave the money and they did not switch it
Are they for real? If so this is spam not scam.

They (probably) will (eventually) transfer the domain, so they're just spammers now.
They used to be scammers in that they pretended to be the domain registry and tricked people into thinking they must renew with them, or register similar domains, or lose their domain. They're shitbags either way.
