Identify if the Emails Really Are Coming From GoDaddy

First, you need to ensure that the emails cluttering your inbox are coming from GoDaddy instead of someone else trying to spoil the company’s reputation. You should be suspicious of emails in your inbox if:

  • There’s a different phone number or email address compared to the one you can find on the official website
  • The URL does not match the official website’s one
  • The received message is significantly different from the earlier messages you got from the company
  • It is an unsolicited message and contains an attachment
  • The message asks for personal information, such as account password, credit card number, CVV code, your mother’s maiden name, etc.

As GoDaddy is a corporation, it’s important to identify if the email is coming from one of their subsidiary companies. Here is a list of all legal entities associated with them.

  • GoDaddy.com, LLC
  • Blue Razor Domains, LLC
  • Starfield Technologies, LLC
  • Domains by Proxy, LLC
  • Outright, Inc.
  • Mad Mimi, Inc.
  • Media Temple, Inc.

What To Do if You Receive a GoDaddy Scam Email

If you receive a scam email from someone who claims to be a GoDaddy representative, don’t panic. Scam emails are not a joke, but they are not a big deal if handled appropriately.

Here’s what you should do:

What To Do When You Receive a GoDaddy Scam Email
Report it The first step you should take is to report all unwanted emails that look like scams. By reporting them, you will stop receiving messages from that email address. You will also protect not only yourself but other users as well.
Never provide personal details Scammers use emails to trick you into giving them your personal, important information. Phishing emails may also include attachments or links that urge you to update your payment details or provide additional info. Keep in mind that GoDaddy will never ask for your personal data outside of a live call with their customer support representative.
Use DoNotPayBy using DoNotPay, you will get unsubscribed from any mailing list. Also, you may receive compensation if there's an ongoing class-action lawsuit against that sender.
Delete it When faced with an unsolicited email, delete it without responding or clicking on any links or attachments.

What To Do if You Followed a Link in an Unsolicited Email?

If, by mistake or a momentary lapse of concentration, you already opened a scam email or even clicked a link that was inside it and submitted your personal and financial information, you need to act fast.

Notify your bank about this immediately. They can freeze your account or block transfers to new and unknown accounts. Make sure to change the login details you use for any account that might be at risk.

If you open a link or attachment from a scam email, the situation escalates. These kinds of links can infect your computer or phone, which helps scammers get insight into everything you type, including important login credentials. To remediate this, ensure that your antivirus program is up to date and run a full device scan.
