I received the following scam email:
This one is a bit scary because (1) I was addressed by my full name (from Whois, I'm sure), and (2) the live link actually goes to a secure Godaddy site.
I suspect that the scammer wants me to delete the domain so that he/she can then "catch" it for him/herself.
If you get a similar email, I recommend that you send it to your rep or to Godaddy support, and DO NOT DELETE YOUR DOMAIN.
