Company is called Domain Rescue - more like Domain Hostage.
They take your website domain if it isn't renewed after expiry and then offer to sell it back to you for a ridiculous amount.
Not a scam, but shameful behaviour.

also associated with (02) 9052 9484. They will ask you to pay something like $129 2/yrs to 'rescue' your lapsed domain name. If you have forgotten to renew your domain, log into your internet provider i.e. ventraip, godaddy, etc and you can see if it is still available. Mine was at $7.95/yr. However I had chosen to let it lapse. If it has been taken up, check who it now belongs to make sure your name is not being used without your permission. Contact you internet provider and they should be able to let you know what to do.
