vlad74 from NamePros.com (post # 546) had his account hacked into and the scammer was trying to transfer several of his domains out, changed email address, PIN number on account etc.
The scam started with a FAKE email that looked like the ones Godaddy is currently sending out for it’s ICANN verification process on registrant info that it does annually.
How to prevent this scam from happening to you?
1.) I never click links in emails like this. Just copy the "key code" and go directly to Godaddy.com via direct navigation. Scroll to the bottom of the home page and under Resources, the second link down (ICANN Confirmation) is what you need for the page to enter the code.
2.) There is no reason to Login to see and verify the information. So do not login.
3.) Look at and Verify the Headers in the email. You can also track the IP address that the email came from (location). I use www.ip2location.com to do this.
If you think or did click one of these links via email, to be on the safe side, login in and change your password ASAP at Godaddy. It’s always better to be safe then sorry.
vlad74 also stated that Godaddy did help out and changed the changed info back on the account that was hacked.
The hacker used information like the following: Adam Zicher. Used Melbourne IT for the domain registered, but then later the domain was deleted. (godaddywh0is.com) was the domain used (with a Zero). The email on that was godaddydns@yahoo.com .
