A scammer is on a stealing spree as of right now, as far as I know, he is only stealing Godaddy domain names. Godaddy isn't really doing anything about it. The scammer will either hack into your Godaddy account, steal it, and then sells it as fast as possible. BEWARE: The scammer is also contacting people with Godaddy domain names, setting up escrow transactions at Escrow.com, EscrowDNS, Moniker, etc, and then emails the seller making it appear that it is from the escrow service and tells the seller to push the domain name into their account at Godaddy. Make sure that you CALL any escrow service that you are using before pushing the domain name. Also remember that an escrow service WILL NEVER ask you to transfer the domain name UNTIL THE PAYMENT is secured. If you are a victim of this scammer, I recommend that you contact Godaddy ASAP. Here are some of the scammers email addresses: meebooo1@yahoo.com i.domain405@gmail.com i.domain405@yahoo.com i.domain405@*.com mrmaster123@gawab.com domainguy25@rocketmail.com domainguy25@*.com rknippel66@yahoo.com Digital Point member: PageRank
Some people neglect to have a unique password and use auto-fill to fill out Phishy sign up forms. Scammers collect password / username combo's and try them out on popular sites. Godaddy would be a site that many people use.
I've been effected and still see the meebooo address is still active!! I want to provide a bit of focus and if all the people effected work together then perhaps can make it easier: You need to follow the steps: - Report the incident on Paypal, to get a refund - File a report on http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx Report his Gmail account to: - http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?hlrm=en&answer=134413 Report his Yahoo account to: - http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/abuse/abuse.html Report his Paypal - Create a dispute with his paypal address above. Point to note, the meebooo1 account has been active for many years and seems to be a seasoned hacker: http://www.dnforum.com/f26/godaddy-domain-names-being-stolen-thread-389621.html http://www.dnforum.com/f26/godaddy-domain-names-being-stolen-2-thread-389621.html#post1793972 We all need to work together on this, let's stop this guy!
