**decrypted** · 05-16-2005, 08:57 AM

The call doesn't really bother me, it was my cell number too. If i used my home number that's a different story. That fact that in the privacy policy at godaddy it states they don't share your private info bothers me more.

one reason i don't ever give out my cell. always my home phone #. i don't know anyone that calls me on home phone anymore. last time i answered it was probably over a year ago. if they really need to talk to me they'll leave a message. i average about 30 blank messages a day from tele-marketers. only reason i keep that line for faxing.

**Sosa** · 05-16-2005, 09:16 AM

I've got a call like that before, someone thinking I was running a paysite at the time and they wanted their plugins in it. Didn't pay attention to the name cuz the fuckers woke me up from a nap.

I don't think GoDaddy sells your info. They have their own hosting they want to sell.

There are a few places on the web where you find exactly what has been registered the previous day.

**Draychi** · 05-16-2005, 09:26 AM

They use to do that to me all the time after I register a domain...call and try to sell me hosting and shit. Finally I told them 1 call per week was enough, and each week i'm gonna say no. Stop calling me or we're gonna have problems.
Havn't heard from them in over a year now

**GeorgeK** · 05-16-2005, 09:27 AM

They just mine the public WHOIS database (they've called me too).

If you're in the USA, there's always www.donotcall.gov

**dready** · 05-16-2005, 09:28 AM

GoDaddy = Nothing but trouble

**keyboard warrior** · 05-16-2005, 09:58 AM

**69pornlinks** · 05-16-2005, 03:37 PM

i got that call about 7 months ago...what a fucking joke

**MetaMan** · 05-16-2005, 03:39 PM

yepper, after signing up to go daddy 2 months ago i got my first cell phone spam ever.

**tranza** · 05-16-2005, 03:39 PM

That's fucked up....

**Mike Okitch** · 05-16-2005, 03:46 PM

I don't know about godaddy. I suspect Namecheap of doing the very same because I also got calls from Aplus. They're annoying as hell but to give credit where it's due, they do honor do not call requests. They haven't called me since I told them not to.

These companies use online services to see what doms have been purchased recently. The registrar is not at fault, the public whois system is the problem.

**JohnnyUtah** · 05-16-2005, 03:50 PM

Aplus net... I fucking hate them

**Alex** · 05-16-2005, 03:57 PM

Big fucking deal. Congrats, you are the first person who has had his info sold over the internet

**Pete-KT** · 05-16-2005, 03:59 PM

Aplus.net actually spiders whois info and calls on there own they dont buy shit. I talked to a manager there to complain and he told me they pull up whois database and make calls to try to get people to signup.

**JSA Matt** · 05-16-2005, 04:00 PM

For $5,000 i'll go bash up the porsche across the street at the aplus.net building

**simple simon** · 05-16-2005, 04:07 PM

I got 150+ domains at godaddy, no calls ever. Godaddy doesnt sell shit.

Give me the address and I'll do it for $50, a return greyhound ticket and a 6 pack of Guinness.

**DaddyHalbucks** · 05-16-2005, 04:59 PM

They mine the WhoIs, which breaks an ICANN rule. Somebody should report them to ICANN.

APlus calls me ALL the time. It is very annoying.

**Elli** · 05-16-2005, 05:17 PM

Aplus called me a while back after I had registered a few domains. They called back 3 times to try to set something up for me, after I wasn't even interested. Arg.
