GoDaddy Impersonation Reports for 02 8042 9920
Thirteen contributors have reported calls from 02 8042 9920 (also written as 0280429920), with a mixed pattern of legitimate domain enquiries, aggressive sales tactics, and impersonation attempts. The number is allocated to AAPT Limited in NSW and appears to be used both by genuine GoDaddy customer service and by callers impersonating GoDaddy representatives.
The concerning reports indicate callers claiming GoDaddy affiliation while requesting personal information, mentioning AI-powered auto-greetings when callbacks were attempted, and continuing contact despite contributors being registered on the Do Not Call Register. Three legitimate reports confirmed genuine domain and hosting account checks from 0280429920, but the remaining ten reports describe aggressive sales pressure, impersonation tactics, and suspicious behaviour inconsistent with standard customer service.
What Callers from 02 8042 9920 Claim and Request
Contributors who answered calls from 02 8042 9920 report callers claiming GoDaddy affiliation while making vague references to account issues, domains, hosting plans, email access, and Microsoft Co-Pilot. One contributor noted the caller sounded suspicious and requested customer account numbers after an automated greeting.
Several reports about 0280429920 describe requests for email confirmation and customer identification numbers, which contributors felt were unnecessary for legitimate account checks. One contributor received a call enquiring about domains they do not own, with the caller initially insisting money was owed before eventually apologising for the mix-up - yet calls continued afterwards. Another contributor answered a call from 02 8042 9920 claiming GoDaddy affiliation but noted the voice sounded strange and unnatural, raising impersonation concerns.
Call Patterns and Timing
Reports of calls from 02 8042 9920 span from February 2025 to November 2025, suggesting sustained contact activity.

The legitimate reports came from July 2025, while more recent reports from June onwards describe increasingly suspicious behaviour, impersonation attempts, and unsolicited sales pressure. Several contributors who received calls from 0280429920 reported the calls felt unwanted or aggressive, with one noting it was "not a nice experience" despite potential legitimacy, and another stating they had not requested or needed contact.

They had my number on wrong account, kept calling about a domain I don't own claiming I owe money, eventually figured it out and apologised but still keep calling
Seemed legit, they checked in and knew about my domains and hosting, didn't ask for dodgy stuff or personal details
Genuine call checking on my domains and hosting plans, no pushy sales or personal info requests
called today asking about my email and something about co-pilot, felt off so I hung up
Claimed to be from GoDaddy but voice sounded strange
GoDaddy, but really seems like a scam call. Sounds like one. Even if legit, was not a nice experience as I didn’t need or want the call.
I had a call from this number earlier today. Ian a GoDaddy customer and now my website is out of service.

No message left, called back and got GoDaddy voicemail, likely sales or spam
Call from Sydney, no voicemail, probably telemarketers or scammers

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 02 8042 9920 a legitimate GoDaddy number?
The answer is mixed. Three contributors confirmed receiving legitimate GoDaddy account checks from 02 8042 9920, but ten reports describe impersonation attempts, aggressive sales tactics, and suspicious requests inconsistent with standard service. One contributor who called back 0280429920 reached a GoDaddy auto-greeting but felt the subsequent AI interaction requesting customer numbers was not legitimate. If you are unsure whether a call is genuine, always verify independently by calling GoDaddy's official customer service number from your account statement rather than using any number provided by the caller.
Why does 02 8042 9920 keep calling if I am on the Do Not Call Register?
At least one contributor reported explicitly requesting the caller to stop contact for months while being registered on the Do Not Call Register, yet 0280429920 continued calling. This behaviour suggests either a failure to honour Do Not Call requests or the number is being used by multiple callers with different policies. If this occurs to you, file a complaint with the ACMA at acma.gov.au detailing the dates you requested the calls to stop and evidence of continued contact.
What should I do if 0280429920 asks for my customer account number or email?
Do not provide this information. Multiple contributors reported receiving requests for customer account numbers and email confirmation from callers claiming to be from GoDaddy via 02 8042 9920. Legitimate customer service will not require you to provide credentials over an unsolicited incoming call. Always hang up and verify the caller's identity independently before sharing any personal information with 0280429920 or any caller.
A caller from 02 8042 9920 claimed my domain ownership is wrong and I owe money - what does this mean?
One contributor received a call from 0280429920 claiming they owed money on a domain they did not own. After discussion, the caller apologised and explained it was an account mix-up, but calls continued afterwards. This pattern could indicate either genuine administrative error or a social engineering tactic. If you receive similar claims from 02 8042 9920, do not provide payment information. Instead, log directly into your GoDaddy account via their official website to verify your actual domain ownership and any legitimate billing issues.
Is 02 8042 9920 a scam or just aggressive sales?
Reports suggest both possibilities exist. Three reports described legitimate account checks, three identified the behaviour as unwanted spam or sales pressure, four flagged impersonation and suspicious tactics, and one explicitly categorised the call as a scam after attempting a callback that returned an AI auto-greeting requesting customer numbers. One contributor felt the voice sounded unnatural, and another reported requests for email and Co-Pilot information that felt suspicious. The safest approach is to treat 0280429920 as unverified until you independently confirm the caller's identity with GoDaddy.
What happens if I call back 02 8042 9920?
One contributor called back 0280429920 and received a GoDaddy auto-greeting, but the subsequent automated system requesting a customer number felt illegitimate and raised scam concerns. Calling back unverified numbers can expose you to additional phishing or social engineering attempts. If you need to contact GoDaddy, use the official customer service number from your account statement or their verified website rather than returning calls from 02 8042 9920.
