When I called them they said they couldnt do anything without a court order even though I AM the owner it was taken from my acct, I have screenshots and information etc.

The guy who hijacked my domain has hijacked at least 50 other domains from GoDaddy from people I have spoken too. After a few years of people being screwed finally people are taking action and have tracked this asshole down. He is currently being tracked by investigators and will hopefully be in a Canadian prison very soon.

My suggestion is move your domains from GoDaddy, they are OK until you get fucked over by some prick who decides he wants your domain , then they could give a shit less.

this has happened to me too but at another registrar who says they are aggressively going to get it back for me. i won't mention their name for fear that many security holes remain. Some guys from korea hijacked it. i threatened to take my portfolio elsewhere if they don't retrieve it asap. fortunately the koreans hijakced it and put it into mydomain.com so there may be a good chance I'll get it back quickly. if not, i will have my legal talk to their legal and...

sad to hear that it's happening so often now. whether or not your domain is LOCKED, they will still find a way.
