hehehe... GoDaddy worked perfectly for me for ages too! But I now know what everyone seems to find out the hard way the moment something weird happens, GoDaddy is never able to deal with it, even when they really do TRY HARD to help you!
They just don't seem to have ANYONE there that knows what to do if it doesn't fit a call centre script.... I felt sorry for the poor bugger they called the "transfer concierge".. The specialist they escalated my problem to... he had no idea what to do and didnt even really understand what was going on with the scammer I stumbled across... imho half the issue is that GoDaddy staff honestly think that every registry has the same amount of domain theft problems as they do! (and my experiene with their new transfer system, is that it actually invites people to try their luck!!)
Paying GoDaddy for registry services is like paying a carpenter that doesnt own any woodworking tools I've decided!
I think I might post a nice easy step by step guide on how to steal domains from GoDaddy customers once I've got my ass out of this sling for certain |skull|
I thought I was unlucky, and had wasted a lot of time today... but as it turns out, I've learned so much important info on how to protect myself.. and saw exactly how well 3 different registries handled an attempted theft, and this new transfer system! I have ended up feeling almost happy someone tried to steal **************.com and a couple of other domains today
)
The main thing I have learned today is that it is now VERY dangerous to assume we are safe just becasue we have never had a problem with a registrar in the past. at 90% of registries I've looked at there is obvious opportunities for scammers to target less than careful domain owners.
I've collected a shitload of information but will need to find time to sit down and do some more research then try and arrnge it into something intelligible to illustrate where the problems lie..... And explain what this scammer was trying to do to me and probably is trying on hundreds of others right now too.
