Dear Mr Phish - a very special episode: Godaddy Phishing Scam

Today, I will be reposting a post from Adam Helweh’s Posterous.
--------------------------------------------------------------------


I just received email receipt for a purchase of $357 (see below) which of course freaked me out since I did not purchase anything from Godaddy for some time. I called Godaddy billing support and they confirmed that it is a scam and that I was the 10th call that the customer support person had taken in a row regarding this. Beware of any of the links on this email. Godaddy is trying to take care of it. I have not logged into my Godaddy account for some time and could not remember if this was my customer number. They confirmed that the same customer number is seen on all of the fake emails that folks seem to be receiving. Please pass it on.
