I received a pretty nasty phishing email yesterday so I thought I will alert you guys about it. It is faked to come from GoDaddy (support @ godaddy.com). Here is the text:

Subject: Status Alert: Domain Change Notification # xxxx //(some number here)

Dear Valued GoDaddy Customer (my name here).

This notification is generated automatically as a service to you.

We have received a request that the name servers be changed for the following domain name(s):

xxxxx.com (one of my domains)

If you are monitoring this name with Domain Backorders, the above change is also displayed in the Monitoring and Backordering section of your Account Manager.

Use the link below:
h/t/t/p/s://sso.godaddy.com/main.aspx?idp=(some md5 hash here)
(this is the text of the link. the real link goes to some Russian domain)

Sincerely,
GoDaddy Domain Backorders team.

I reported it as phishing and spam to gmail and godaddy. Unfortunately not much more we can do about it.
Always be careful before clicking links in emails. I almost clicked on it
