    Have any of y'all been contacted by ICANN about your domains?

    I got a call on my voicemail from ICANN in regards to one of my unused domains....He said that they're just doing a random sample to check the accuracy of the records.....

    They gave me an 877 number to call back and the dude said his computer is frozen and he would call me back in a minute or two....

    Have any of y'all been contactec by them?

          I don't answer any numbers I don't recognize, so if they have done it to me then I likely just ignored their call

            Why I didn't think of that, I don't know....Anyway, I just googled it and nothing came up.

                  I've never been contacted by ICANN nor I've heard that any webmaster was.

                        I never get phone calls, just emails. Also never click on the link directly, never know what kind of phishing scam is going on

                          just emails asking me to verify info.
                          Though my registrar has called me when a bulk transfer was done. They wanted to make sure I initiated it and that my account was not breached. Oddly enough I had logged into them while at a hotel to transfer some domains I had sold. I had zero qualms about that and is one major reason I stick with them, even if they are just an enom reseller.

                            Could be some dude checking accuracy for himself, maybe wants to report it to icann so he can pick it up somehow after you got stripped of it.

                                    Only by email once per year. It actually comes from Godaddy on behalf of ICANN.

                                          I've been contacted through the e-mail address on file with the registration of the domain. Never ever got a phone call.

                                          Now I did get a phone call from GoDaddy about some of my domains expiring.... that was weird.

                                            YES, I get them from GoDaddy also. Used to make me feel something was wrong. Now I just think GD is obligated to send the notice... which I simply ignore

                                                Ok, it really was ICANN.....It was just some sort of survey...First they verified that the contact info was correct...ASked if a piece of mail was sent to the address listed, would I get the mail...They asked some preset questions as to why one would look up domains in the whois database, such as to contact them or if I wasn't satisfied, etc....

                                                Then he said thank you and that was it.

                                                        When they called you should have said you would call them back on a number that was visible on their web page.

                                                            The number I called was 877-259-4326...I don't feel like elaborating any further as my radiator went out and I'm pissed off.
