Guys I have been buying domain names on Godaddy for Years. In any event 2 days ago I won an LLLL.com on the Godaddy Platform and paid immediately after the auction ended as usual. Out of curiosity I decided to check whois to see who owned the domain name and all the information on Whois was all Fake, a Company that did not exist and phone numbers made up this wasn't someone hiding behind privacy email seemed legit. Anyway I decided to investigate further as I have bought so many names on Godaddy platform only to have the sale fall through. I emailed the whois email to confirm if the domain was indeed for sale and the person behind the mask tried to solicit offers from me? puzzled , When I pointed out the domain name was already sold seller behind the email plays ignorance.
I thought i would give godaddy a heads up on the issue to check the seller out so sent screenshots of my email exchange to [email protected] and guess what? Godaddy claims I have broken their auction terms and to add insult to injury my account will be suspended and funds held? on top of that they plan to also charge me a fee lol I mean shouldn't the least thing i get is a refund?
I find it mind boggling, I also find the integrity of their platform questionable , I have spent thousands of dollars on their site and this is the thanks I get for raising an alert and concerns? maybe I am just bias and shouldn't have alerted them but i thought hey if the seller is not legit he might have other names on their platform so it was really to warn them but apparently I get banned and fined for doing so . Great times you have to love the industry.
