I have a main godaddy account & one I forgot about as I used it for a promo in 2019..
Today I get a charge on my bank saying I was charged by godaddy & was surprised so I checked my account to find nothing..
After brainstorming, I try login to godaddy on my alias browser which I generally used for burner accounts. The login autofilled & I remembered the domain I took advantage of in a $0.99 offer in 2019..
What is scary is that I haven't logged into that account for over a year, but magically it shows my payment method as a new card which I only received in March 2021..
Even on my main Godaddy account, I haven't updated my payment info, so this is a bit spooky..
To further prove that this is some unauthorised black magic stuff, godaddy has been sending me emails asking me to renew my card details. Of course I used an alias email I don't check much..
The last email had a subject of "We can't renew your products: Update your payment info.", sent on 7th July 2021. So 10 days later my payment info magically updates without my approval & a renewal gets charged to a new card they should have no knowledge about..
So how in the f*** did the godaddy wizard magically update my dormant account with a new payment info I have never used on their site..
Another crazy thing is when I check the order history, it shows an auto renewal for 17th July 2020 & an initial charge in 2019 with same card details of a card that didn't exist until March 2021..
