Story Time A few years ago I woke up before going to work and noticed I have a few emails for automatic renewal for some domains I didn't remember buying on GoDaddy - which I wasn't using anymore for anything important.

Upon investigating I found out a turkish person was using my account for some scams with crypto alongside a few real-world websites he built for business in Ankara. I went to the police, gave them all the evidence (just so I'm safe legally from the scams he was running in my name, with stolen credit cards that were using my address - but in Ankara not my location), and GoDaddy failed to answer to the local authorities, after 1 year the investigation was shutdown because of lack of cooperation from GoDaddy's side.
