Important ICANN Notice Regarding Your Domain Name(s)
****************************** ***********

Dear User,

it is that time of year again. ICANN(the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) annually requires that all accredited registrars (like GoDaddy.com) ask their domain administrators/registrants to review domain name contact data, and make any changes necessary to ensure accuracy. According to our records you are the ADMINISTRATIVE CONTACT for one or more domains registered at GoDaddy.com, Inc. as of Jan 1st, 2011.

To review/update your Account data, simply:
+ Login to (link removed)
+ You will be taken to a landing page and asked to enter your account information
Please take a look that your account and domain information is up to date.

If, however, your domain contact information is inaccurate, you must correct it. (Under ICANN rules and the terms of your registration agreement, providing false contact information can be grounds for domain name cancellation.) To review the ICANN policy, visit:http://www.icann.org/ whois/wdrp-registrant-faq.htm

Should you have any questions, please email us at support@godaddy.com or call our customer support line at (480) 505-8877.

Thanks for your attention and thank you for being a GoDaddy.com, Inc. customer.

Sincerely,
GoDaddy.com, Inc. Domain Support

If you are the domain administrator of more than one GoDaddy.com domain account, you may receive this notice multiple times.

Got this just a few minutes ago. Funny enough, I got a legitimate one from GoDaddy sometime last week, but did not even consider clicking on any links.

Got the host to suspend the hosting for that domain. Now waiting for Yahoo to take action as well.

Thanks for that, I reported them to GD as well, but you beat me to the punch!.

Received: from server1.graphicsrq.com ([unknown] [67.23.250.52])

Just reported it to godaddy.

I didn't get anything yet. I have reported it to Yahoo Domains as well. And also reported the domain to the host. Hopefully they take action fast as last time. This is the third time they're using Yahoo Domains.
