Country: | I received about 10 of these earlier AM this morning. I wish I knew who to report these to at GoDaddy so they could shut it down. Brad

Country: | I got 12 of these yesterday. Gmail flagged them and gave the following warning: "Warning: This message may not be from whom it claims to be. Beware of following any links in it or of providing the sender with any personal information." It would have been obvious that this wasn't a real GoDaddy message even without the warning because of the spelling mistakes and grammar problems. You would think that scam artists would at least take a few minutes to check their own work to make it seem more believable. The message that they sent is below. I have highlighted a few of the mistakes. "Because of unusual number of invalid login attempts on you account, we had to believe that, their might be some security problem on you account. So we have decided to put an extra verification process to ensure your identity and your account security. |

DNF$: 0 Location: Manila | What can Go Daddy do? They can maybe put a warning on their site and send those sample phishing emails to the relevant authorities, but they can't always go after the perpetrators if they're especially outside their jurisdiction. If they're able to accurately figure out the ones doing that crap are indeed in the U.S., then that's when they'll probably (and finally?) take action. They're being targetted as an unfortunate consequence (?) of being the largest retail registrar. And damn it, I didn't get any of them.
