Tonight I noticed that i got an email from Godaddy.com (proud proud former sponsors of Danica Patrick in NASCAR) that had my receipt for the domain name I purchased this morning. The funny thing is that I didn't buy a domain name this morning (at 5:33 no less) so I assume it's some kind of scam where someone spoofed godaddy info to try and phish for my password or something...

But that tech support # is legit. Maybe that customer # isn't? NOPE that's legit too. On the phone they want a PIN # which I don't have, just like I don't have the password for the account... But hey they put in my e-mail addy so I can reset the password and get in. Cha-ching!

So the domain they bought is [my last name]life.com and they paid for it in a VISA ending in #### and that's all I can tell. I get on the blower with godaddy and they can't do anything useful like tell me the IP address of whoever signed up/paid for this account (where I might add they got me two years of this domain, no web hosting tho!) BUT after holding for another 3-5mins they can tell me.something I don't know... That this was paid for using a VISA ending in #### in my name @ my old address (just like the account/domain is registered to me @ my old address with my old landline phone # for the domain's contact info)

Sooooo what would you do if this happened to you? I've started to effort trying to find out if there's a VISA card in my name (a real pain in the gulliver, as it turns out), but I doubt it. More than likely someone is using a prepaid VISA card or even their own credit card and just claiming my info outside of the actual card# itself) and well, I reckon I've shot myself in the foot by changing the go daddy pw and not waiting to see if someone was actually gonna set up a.proper website @ thatdomain.com after getting the DNS situation all set up.

At the very least I've got a kinda-interesting story of the likes that even a 5yr vet of godaddy phone tech support hadn't heard of b4 I called up tonight.

But yeah, would this kind of shit freak you out or what would you do in response to it? Or would you just =) like hey I've got a fan club out there and they're willing to put their money where their mouth is?!!!

either way, c'est la vie as the French in France would say! Take care / give hell / be excellent

Credit Karma will tell you if you have a visa account in like 5 minute.

Good call on Credit Karma.

Honestly, I've gotten a couple of voice mails entirely in Chinese and or the same computer generated voice.

I wonder if the Chinese ones are supposed to be threatening as well? I ain't THAT old
