Hi,
I got an email supposedly from Go Daddy which turned out to be a scam. I should have known better but i'm an idiot.
here's the email just for reference:

Definitely a scam. Always, always log in to GoDaddy through their website and never through an email link.

Better yet, get rid of GoDaddy entirely :tongue: I've had much better luck with Dreamhost and how Digital Ocean.
