A few months ago, I reported what seems to be a Register.com account phishing email. This morning, Bill Sweetman from Name Ninja reported a similar type of phishing email. The difference with this reported email is that it is targeting GoDaddy account customers. I presume there may be similar emails targeting customers of other domain registrars, so if you see something similar, it is most likely an illegitimate phishing email.
