    I dont think it was, I have gotten those same emails before I believe that the company is affiliated with GoDaddy and handles the private registrations for their names. Dont be alarmed.

    so that gives the right to send emails that I have registrated the domains with THEM ? and ask to use the same Account passwords ? something does not fit here

    Domain by proxy is Go Daddy's whois protection service.

    Did you order whois protection or did it come free with this order?
