Deed Scam in Brooklyn?

We just bought a house in Windsor Terrace and received a letter today from NY Certified Deed Services, 754 4th Ave in Brooklyn which states that it can obtain a certified copy of our deed for ONLY $85. Now I believe we could get one ourselves from the the County clerk for a nominal fee. This company seems to have been practicing this scam throughout NY state and elsewhere. Anyone else had a run in with them and should we contact the authorities?
