Me and my friend decided to make Seo project , we registered domain with his billing info and with my credit card.
On january 1st i checked domain and it was off , i checked all emails and godaddy , godaddy account was locked
Then i sent all documents to them

1: Billing person id
2: Payment person id
3: paypal statement
4: bank statement
5: credit card screenshots

everything that could verify my payment

But i got reply that my account reviewed and cant be reactivated for now
I havenot got reply and explanation why?
and also they havenot requested any additional details , it looks weird

Now my domain is under godaddy and its sale by broker fee :(
That looks like godaddy stolen my domain on new year
I talked with support for 4-5 times , they are good guys but its not helpfull , cant tell me reason or what i need to sent , just checking , checking and checking . last support told me that your account is still on review and they will be back but i already got reply from godaddy that my account cant activated

my Incident ID is: 46405677

Thanks godaddy for happy new year

It looks like you are in contact with the correct team at GoDaddy already on this issue. You should continue to follow up with them as they are part of the legal team and will respond via email.
Thanks joe

If he is that good and he is Epik staff member, I am wondering why he did not help to protect Epik so the customer's data are not exposed to the Internet.
Btw, he should contact the OP in PM instead of spamming his services here (I forgot he is a Epik staff member - the spamming is in the blood)

I understand your situation. I am sorry, I wish I could have helped you better, as I have checked with the team the domain is not recoverable. I am sorry. My Apologies.

However, if you want you can contact the team again regarding your concern."



I think my first title of this thead was correct
Support people are great guys , really trying to help and understanding situation but dont have permissions to help or change something , they can only inform you.
Other godaddy support centers like emails just don't explain anything have same copy/paste responses

I know i made mistake when register different billing/different payment but i am real person havenot hacked anything + provided all information and documents honestly(even dont required ones) . so i just think that they dont care about it . because they have readymade answers on email every time
godaddy isnot custumer oriented company
I am very dissapointed

Since you admitted your mistake you seem to want an answer from Go Daddy as to why isn't the below documents you sent them valid as proof of a honest transaction.

Hello @kokoshka
Some questions.
Did you hand register the domain or you bought it in their marketplace/auction?
What is the domain name in question?

Name is irrellevant. Maybe he can pick it up on back order, I am sure epik rep can chime in with a product that will suit his needs.
I would still track it and try and grab it when it drops

I had wrong WHOIS on Epik and other registrars for months and I never was blocked or domains taken, of course after I realized I have fixed the wrong owner Names.
It's possible your domain is very good that is why Godaddy grabbed it without give you the chance to fix WHOIS data, so now you will buy it from them at huge ammount, that is why big corporations do industrial espionage, to know what projects are there going to start and grab fast those domains.
Don't give up fight for what is yours, this for sure will bring Godaddy in the mud.

You are using someone else credit card and it does not matter who they are - it's illegal.

Didn't GoDaddy allow @barybadrinath's GD account to use @create.com's credit card for GoDaddy purchases?

How Puneet got my credit card....

Puneet had a few domains about to expire within his Godaddy account and requested that I renew them as payment for a deal.

I renewed what was in the cart and quickly discovered there was no way to delete the credit card from Godaddy's system. I contacted him to have him reach out to Godaddy to get the card removed.

I have multiple chats and emails to Puneet saying that he wasn't authorized to renew additional domains and told him to reach out to GoDaddy to remove my card. Puneet acknowledged this and even responded, saying that the card couldn't be charged again.

Months later, I looked at my credit card statement and discovered $10,000's of fraudulent charges from Godaddy. I wasn't 100% sure but had a good guess where they came from, Puneet!

I reached out to Puneet to ask him if he was the one that did the credit card fraud. Puneet at first ignored me, later denied it, and last confessed to doing so. I warned him that I would do a chargeback, giving him a chance to make it right with Godaddy, he couldn't, and I soon did a chargeback for the illegal charges.
