GoDaddy Premier Services Account

[Savage Names]

Anybody have any experience with this?

After purchasing a couple of domains from a recent GoDaddy premium auction, I was contacted by phone & email from the 'Premier Services Account Manager' asking if I was interested in help in " supporting my investment strategy"

Having replied I've just received another email saying:

"I need to validate your account (a one-time code, followed by a two-factor authentication code). Normally, this can sometimes be done via email, but for your account’s security—and to get you up and running with my team—it does require a brief phone call for this initial verification. It should only take a few minutes, and then we’ll be all set to move forward however you prefer (including email for everything else).

Is this normal practice? Sounds a bit odd to me..

Hi

sounds like an invasion of privacy


imo….

Sounds like a scam.

Yes, that's their standard procedure. They can't access your GoDaddy account to add you to Premier Services without it.

However, out of an abundance of caution, I would confirm that they are actually with @GoDaddy before proceeding by calling GoDaddy's customer support number on their website.

Congratulations on your purchases!

I agree with @Bravo Mod Team.

Don't just pick up and share codes over the phone.

Follow the procedure as mentioned above.

asking if I was interested in help in " supporting my investment strategy"

Let me guess, they were promoting GoDaddy DDC during the conversation?

It hasn't been mentioned yet but I'm pretty sure the whole thing is a big sales pitch
