Godaddy.com selling email addresses... READ inside
 

I got a spam email asking me if I wanted to buy 70 million email addresses that were verified.

They wanted $6,000 for them. They claim they are opt in emails.

I peek in the headers and get this domain name as the mail sender.


http://www.wehavethem.com

I go to the site.


This page in fact

http://www.wehavethem.com/EmailLists.html


I click on their contact information
http://www.wehavethem.com/0840-6.html

The phone number is:

(480) 624-2500


Google return for that number:

Go Daddy Software, (480) 624-2500, 14455 N Hayden Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85260


Whois Lookup says:


Registrant:
Domains by Proxy, Inc.
15111 N Hayden Rd., Suite 160
PMB353
Scottsdale, Arizona 85260
United States


Which is GoDaddy

And on the whois it shows that the registrar is WildWestDomains the name of their domain reseller program.

As seen here

http://www.wildwestdomains.com









Ever wonder why when you register a domain you get spam or real mail spam within a few days.

I wonder.

Im pretty sure this is illegal.

wtf ?? thats the godaddy privacy address !!

Its just a whois privacy for your details , they arent affiliated with godaddy

Maybe email sellers used fake info (GoDaddy's)?

hmm then again maybe it is

Thats godaddies domain whois protection.

Um, dude, look at the phone numbers... duh


Yes, its a privacy address, Hosted By WildWestDomains which is owned by Godaddy.

The phone number on the site for you to call to place an order, call it once, GODADDY :1orglaugh

Are you guys really that fucking clueless?

Smoky I know you know better, the phone number on the site selling the email addresses is GoDaddys phone number !

Look for yourself !

I didnt realise you meant the phone number was on the site and not in the whois..

Im gonna give them a call , but im pretty sure its the same company as they are using godaddy's signup and account forms..

call and ask them

Yup its the same company... Same lady on support as godaddy , trying to upsell whois protection.

fake drama is awesome....but ignorant drama is WAY better

wehavethem.com is a godaddy reseller...all godaddy resellers can list godaddy's support number. ("Year-round 24/7 customer support for you AND your customers").

explain it to us then , as im confused. They are the same company.


Ok im on the phone with a superviser now.. he is very confused , he says he doesnt own that domain.. The phone number is godaddy whois privacy , but they say the site is not theirs

ahhh thats what he is telling me now, but this senior support dude isnt very pleased..

Ok so the skinny is , ( as explained above in portions ) its not godaddy , its a reseller , that uses the support number for godaddy ( as does any reseller ) .

There is no way those email lists are from godaddy or from the domains by proxy.

no drama here sorry..

But , they weren't pleased he was selling those lists if that helps.

it just looks like someone is scamming and using godaddy's number as their fake #

ah, a reseller selling lists....i wouldn't be please either

smokey, i love your sig, but the lag time between the bullet hitting and the blood spurting is too much.....damn, i have watched it over and over too many times

That would be very scary.

haha, the last line in your sig rulez

Wow, that would suck, and once the list is out in the mailer-world, we're gonna be slammed with emails.
