DD I have no idea how the hell he got the domain. I was sitting here and I happened to look at my email when I seen a request come in to UNLOCK my domain.

I quickly logged into godaddy to see what the fuck was going on. When I logged in I saw a message showing "Changing Accounts In Progress".

So I jumped on the phone to Godaddy support. The first women I spoke to said there was nothing they could do. I asked for a supervisor and when I spoke to "Bobby" who is a supervisor he said the only way I could stop this guy is with a court order and that the whois information had already updated on whois.godaddy.com. I got the information from there and I called my attorney. He said it would be a federal matter because it was across state lines and that the best thing for me to do would be to contact the Prosecutor in Pittsburgh, PA.

I have an aunt that works for an attorney and I just happen to be on the way to PA this weekend so I will run by the address listed (which does exist in PA, wether its really his address I dont know).

Basically Dave, I have no idea who this guy is and no one, not even my wife had ever accessed my godaddy acct. So either he brute forced my acct password or got it from within godaddy or someone withing godaddy fucked up. Those are the only options. I quickly changed my acct passwords and even spent the money to transfer my domains to another registrar. Obviously I am not the only one this has happened to.

So to answer your question DD.

1. It IS GoDaddys fault because they transferred a domain to another acct without my authorization at all.

2. I am not sure how he got the domain but it was one of the 3 ways I mentioned above, all my domains were LOCKED in my acct as they always are.

I think the only thing that saved me is that I had my domains scattered across 3 GoDaddy accts and that was the only good one in that bunch or I would have really been fucked.

If you are looking for further proof let me know I have screenshots from my acct and screen shot of it saying the words I stated above, invoices for the domain purchase (the original one), a printout of the whois info, people I spoke to within GoDaddy etc. IMHO this is clearly GoDaddys fault, they did NO authorization before transferring the domain to another acct.
