Been receiving calls from people claiming to be the staff of GoDaddy, asking me to renew my names.
I am casually replying that I don't want to renew, then they ask for a reason and my email associated with Godaddy so that they will opt me out of their renewal calls.
Some sense of responsibility in me tells me that I should not reveal my email and other account details to anyone anytime. I told them that I will give all the details to the chat representatives online.
Red Bell 1: They have my name, all my domain list, so don't they have my email?
Red Bell 2: I never opted in for GoDaddy phone alerts.
Red Bell 3: They are asking me to renew a domain which I just hand-regged yesterday.
Red Bell 4: They are more focused on getting my email address than anything else.
Red Bell 5: I use my brands' mail and contact name and number. So if they know my real name and real phone number, something tells me that it's an inside job or some sort of big network of scammers/spammers.
Does all of Godaddy customers get calls to renew their domains regularly? Or I am just overacting to a normal procedure from Godaddy?
Thanks in advance for helping me out
