Go Daddy Premium Rate Number Scam

[Nexus]

Got this spam recently, looks like the plan is to fool you into calling the number which is premium rate.. the email was spoofed from a hacked account.

I did some research and it looks like this was used for some other PayPal scam.

Hi name@email.co.uk,

We’re concerned that someone is using your GoDaddy account without your knowledge. Please login to your GoDaddy account to confirm your identity. Your quick response will help restore your GoDaddyaccount.

To help protect your GoDaddy account, no one can send money or withdraw money. In addition, no one can add money to your account, close your account, send refunds, remove any bank accounts, or remove credit cards.

### What’s going on?

Your credit or debit card issuer has told us that someone used your card without your permission. We want to make sure that you authorised any recent GoDaddy payments. We may limit your account as a security measure to protect your account and keep GoDaddy safe. The process is similar to passing through a security checkpoint and being asked to show identification. When we limit an account we’re often simply asking the account holder to supply information to verify their identity, financial information or the merchandise they’re selling.

#### What to do

Log in to your GoDaddy account as soon as possible. We may ask you to confirm information you provided when you created your GoDaddy account to make sure you’re the account holder.

An account may be limited for a variety of reasons. Possible reasons could include:
– **Possible unauthorised account access**
– **Unresolved buyer disputes or credit card chargebacks**
– **Violations of our User Agreement or Acceptable Use Policy**

### What’s next?

Let’s work together to restore your GoDaddy account. After you complete all of the tasks, we should respond within 72 hours.
