I got my domain name from Godaddy a few days ago, and got the call just now - does this mean that Godaddy leaks info? Not liking this - should I cancel and get it from elsewhere? They already have my contact info anyway, but still....................

They steal numbers from GoDaddy and try to sell Website services.  Guy with thick Indian became rude.  Block these guys!

Got call from     469-294-3890

They got it from your domain registration.  Go to whois [dot] domaintools [dot] com [slash] your-domain-name.com and you can see your name, address, phone number and email address.

This is why you should either use a "proxy" (hidden) registration option, or your job title and company name rather than your actual name, when registering a domain name.  Also, set up a Google Voice (go to voice [dot] google [dot] com and register and get a free phone number that you can have forward to your real number during the registration process, but then automatically send the calls to Google's built-in voicemail (without ringing your real phone) from then on.

You probably will NOT get calls due to the renewal.  Usually, these marketers only look for NEW registrations.

Called two days in a row and didn't leave a message.

Nope, Thanks to ICANN any domain registrar's information (address, phone number, etc) is public info. They get a hold of these numbers and call you.

Exactly same happened today. I never answered the call but I just checked the number and see the other people's comments, same thing happened the other day 2 times from different numbers that said they were there to help me build my website immediately after I purchased a domain name from GoDaddy. something is terribly wrong here. You can't do anything anymore online, purchase anything, inquire about anything, before you're receiving calls from these Pakistanians, or someone from other countries. What happened to the USA??

just used a google phone number like i did when i find out who they are i use it to block them , been useing it this way for years

I am so very tired of all of these scam calls!

That is a scam. They get those alot in california. A couple relatives I have get phone calls with Indian/Pakistani accents saying things like "Hi we would like to assist you with some laptop issues we see you have been having...[bla bla]"

Its definetly a scam

Just registered a domain name yesterday on GoDaddy.com and didn't select the private registration option.  As a result, "Justin" (obviously not his real name) and/or this company called me multiple times today to hock their web development services.  They've been blocked now.

Spammer.  Block 'em!

I JUST RECEIVED  A CALL , I did not buy  a domain name . They asked for Daniel  Williams  Told them no one by that name here. I will see if they call again.

same here i recently got a domain from Godaddy too... but 3 times a day !! really irritating..

All url registrations are public (name, phone,  adress) unless you pay for a privacy feature. It's basically the same for everyone.

It's this company: https://www.elagoondigital.com/. Their usa number ends in 89, not 90, but the Indian guy said it was them. I have gotten several calls each day since buying some new domains a few days ago. They just hang up everytime I answer. I went to their site, and gave then a huge piece of my mind on their contact form! And, NO, I did not give them my actual email address :)
