Beware of godaddy!

I am so angry right now I could spit nails! And I want to alert everyone to this so you can protect yourself. I severed all ties with GoDaddy 2 years ago because they kept charging me for things I did not authorize. I thought I had gotten them out of my life FOREVER! But NO! I got a notice in my email yesterday that they had charged my credit card for another $4.99! I know its not that much, but I greatly dislike this company.

So I call them, and they tell me the charge is for a membership fee! I told them I am no longer a member and want the charge reversed. They tell me I am still signed up as a member and membership fees are non-refundable!! These people are unbelievable! After 20 minutes on the phone, they finally agreed to delete my account and my credit card information. However, they REFUSED to refund the membership fee. Soooo --- I called my bank and have filed to have the charge disputed. Also, in researching this last fee, I discovered they had also charged me last year, too. I missed it somehow because I was dealing with cancer at the time.

If you have a GoDaddy account, be sure to go into your settings and make sure that you DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING ON AUTOPAY!!! This is how they milk their customers dry. I hope I can help some of you avoid all the problems I have had with them!

wow that is bad business practice thanks for the information

Hi Connie,
Thank you for sharing this information on GoDaddy. It is truly shameful that businesses practice this sort of tactic. Hopefully you have gotten this totally solved and that you get your total money refunded.

Wow, not nice! And good to know, thanks for sharing...

There are just to many crooks in this industry.

Sad...recently I tried three times to move a domain name over to WA registration - and three times Go Daddy blamed WA for not following through. I called them numerous times to say that the pending transfer wasn't showing up on the Go Daddy site, while the correct emails had been received and signed from WA. They just talked to me like I was a stupid child. I gave up.

Thanks for sharing this information.

Feel your pain, kind of have to keep an eye on your account settings with these guys, thanks for the reminder.
Buying domains through WA a much better experience.

My experience with them was less than stellar too.

Thank you for this information, Connie
