It appears that another phishing scam is making the rounds trying to get users to reveal their GoDaddy username and password to the scammers. According to “silentg” who received the email and posted on DNForum about it, the email links users to “goldidaddy.com” (registered at Melbourne IT) instead of GoDaddy.com. The email mimics a GoDaddy notice under the Whois Data Reminder Policy of ICANN (WDRP).

Adam Dicker, former VP of Domain Aftermarket at GoDaddy has left the company according to a post on DNForum, a forum that is owned and operated by Dicker. According to his post he left GoDaddy on good terms and wants to use the gained time in order to focus on other projects. During his 2 year tenure with the company (Adam Dicker joined in July of 2007) he had also enabled the company to become a .CA accredited registrar. The company will continue their operations in Canada and is expecting even more growth in 2010.

As reported earlier, Verizon sued Navigation Catalyst and the Basic Fusion registrar for cybersquatting. As part of this lawsuit, it has been reported elsewhere that the domain forum TMFor.com has been subpoenaed by Verizon’s lawyers. The items subpoenaed include identifying information for each and every user of the forum.

According to DomainNews, the article goes on to say that TMFor denies any connection to Navigation Catalyst and Basic Fusion and has hired an attorney.  The article states that the forum was moved to BonkersTwo.com, however that domain now redirects to TMFor.com. Read more after the jump. (more…)
