I HAVE REGISTERED THE DOMAIN NAME WWW.DAILYNELLORE.COM FOR 100$ FROM GODADDY FOR 10 YEARS, AND I HAVE NOT HOSTED THE SITE AND I HAD KEPT THE DOMAIN IDEAL FRO 3 MONTHS AFTER WHEN I CHECK THE DOMAIN TO HOSTING IT SEEMS THAT THE DOMAIN NAME IS FOR SALE. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT THE DOMAIN IS FOR SALE AND SO I WRITE THE EMAIL TO GODADDY SUPPORT, THEY ARE SAYING THAT THE DOMAIN IS CANCELED FROM MY END IF YOU NEED THE DOMAIN YOU HAVE TO PURCHASE IT AGAIN AND I REQUESTED THEM TO REFUND, THEY ARE SAYING NO WAY TO REFUND THE AMOUNT... SO THIS THE GODADDY IS DOING FRAUD BY SELLING THE DOMAINS FROM THE USERS ...BEAVER OF SUCH FRAUD FROM GODADDY.COM...

Godaddy.com billing fraud and questionable business practices.

I got billed for renewal of Godaddy.com hosting for two years. I had few problems with my bill.
1. I had chosen manual billing before the actual billing date and removed my credit card information (which had expired anyway) from their database.
2. My credit card information (before removing it) had expired 07/09. They should not have been able to bill me, as Godaddy.com stated on a several earlier e-mails: "IMPORTANT: If the credit card we have on file for you has expired or been closed, we will not be able to automatically renew your product(s)"
3. Even the amount of the bill was incorrect. information under my automatic renewal, which I had checked few days earlier, indicated much lower price than what I was billed.

...So Godaddy.com billed me even though they shouldn't have.
Godaddy.com billed me even though they shouldn't have been able to.
Godaddy.com billed me for a much higher amount than my automatic renewal originally indicated...

I complained to Godaddy.com about the incorrect bill and got a detailed instructions how to get a refund. Following these detailed instructions led me to delete my whole hosting account, including the incorrect 2 year renewal and my other later manual renewal. I basically lost all data on my site (last back-up december 2007). After I had just realized what I had done, following their detailed instruction, I called them and they told me that they can get my data back for 150 dollar fee.

... to put it mildly, I was less than happy with Godaddy.com.


P.S. To all Godaddy.com customers: Please, double check your bills, especially any automatic renewal bills. There is a good chance Godaddy.com is over charging you. And think twice if you want to give your credit card information to a company that is able to charge even expired credit cards.

This hosting is so bad! So many troubles and waisting my time!!! Do not use it! No body helps you for nothing! Nothing working there! Just waisting time and money, much money!!!

I finally had enough and moved both my websites to another company. It's bad enough my Godaddy hosted website would go completely down at times, but Godaddy customer service is the absolute worst. I've been dealing with customer service for 5 years and I keep expecting them to get better. They never do. Godaddy just doesn't care. They only hire uneducated people, or people who have mental dissabilities (mental retardation). My websites went down all the time! And they couldnt fix them for days! Not hours, days! This company is the worst of the worst. Stay away.

In November of 2008 I purchased a new vehicle and then began searching for cheap full coverage insurance. After some intense googling I found several references to www.landainsurance.com and checked out their rates. Although it seemed to good to be true, I purchased a policy for $499 using a credit card, incase it was indeed fraud, so I would have protections such as initiating a chargeback.

Upon recieving the insurance cards I was immediately suspicous as they looked like a product a 6 year old would have created in MS Word. Landa Insurance claimed to be underwritten (or selling policies of) another company which I then contacted. After some extensive research and talking with the legal department of that insurance agency I found out the following:

1) Landa Insurace or their agent (alias, I'm sure) Bob Warren are not authorized agents of their company
2) The insurance agency does not sell ANY automobile policies, only medical insurance
3) The policy number I was given matched a medicare suppliment of an elderly lady in Iowa.

I was given a letter by their lead attorney verifying this.

Upon further investigation on my own I discovered the following:

1) The address used by Landa Insurance is an apartment complex in Dallas Texas
2) The phone number for Landa Insurance is a Cellular phone number
3) Landa Insurance is not listed on the Texas Department of insurance directory of authorized insurance agents

After these discoveries I initiated a chargeback on my credit card and filed a legal complaint with the Texas Department of Insurance law enforcement division. I recieved documentation from them that the company is fraudulent and the complaint has been forwarded for disciplinary action.

After recieving my refund I began a complaint with Godaddy.com for the removal of the domain. I provided all the evidence above in it's original form (formal letters on letter heads, not just email complaints), and requested that Godaddy.com remove the website in accordance with the requirements for DUE CARE (required by ICANN).

To date godaddy has refused to look into the complaint and has only stated via automated reply that they do not look into complaints that do not come from law enforcement. I've since recieved notification from the Texas Department of Insurance that they too have contacted godaddy to make the same request, but the domain remains.

To date go daddy is knowlingly hosting a fraudulent website.
