Good catch! There are lots of Phishing scams out there, be careful! Always call your account manager if your unsure. If you dont have an account manager at Go Daddy, call the below number to get one. It's one more step to better security. When you call, ask about our transfer validation service as well.
 
I got like 7 of these this morning, but I noticed the cyber-edge.com URL which didn't make sense. So they were deleted in an instant together with the rest of the spam and scam attempts I receive daily.
 
i got similar email but noticed that there is no forward / after .com in the url and when i did the hover, i knew it was phish link
 
Look at the periods in the link (especially the last one) and then you can see if it's kosher. Like cyberedge is the last before any forward slashes.
