Does the email read well? Fake emails are often littered with misspellings, poor grammar, etc. These mistakes actually help them avoid spam filters, but they should be a dead give-away that they are not from the real GoDaddy.com. All our emails are written with care and proofread by industry professionals.

Is the page a 'pop-up'? Fake emails and Web sites will use pop-up windows to collect information. Pop up windows appear without any action on your part and have no address bar or navigation buttons. GoDaddy.com will never ask you to provide information via a 'pop-up' (though we may occasionally use a pop-up to provide you with information).

Is there an attachment? Many fake emails will include an attachment that, if launched, could install spyware, launch a virus or more. GoDaddy.com will never send you an attachment or software update via email.
