GoDaddy users: Did you receive some e-mail today and yesterday?

[Nocturnal]

I received two e-mails relating to updating my info in my GoDaddy account. I'm guessing it is fraudulent but I was wondering if anyone else besides me got these e-mails?

I did not recieve any.

nope. i never click the link in an email anyway. just go the site directly from your browser.

 

[everman]

Spam, never click on links in emails like that.

Yeah I figured they are just attempting to steal my domain names anyway. Thanks. Tricky fellows nowdays. I never click on any of those e-mails, I go straight to the horses mouth via logging in to the real website by typing in the address myself. Thanks again.

I got one of thpose emails yesterday too, and it does seem legit and not a phishing scam, it didn't have an actual hyperlink, it just shows the following:

To review/update your contact data, simply:
+ Go to www.godaddy.com/?isc=ICANNKEY
+ Click on the "ICANN Domain Confirmation" icon at the top of the page

I went there and it is in fact godaddy.com, I didn't update or change anthing though, I didn't even login.

Oh ok, I forwarded it to abuse@godaddy.com just in case. Thanks.

it was legit. It was just asking you to make sure accounts are up to date. No hyperlinks and no threatening to lock your account if you did not click on the link and enter your username and password.
