GoDaddy Impersonation Reports for 02 9169 9769

The number 02 9169 9769 (also written as 0291699769) has generated 29 community reports with a clear pattern of impersonation tactics. Four contributors specifically flagged callers claiming to be GoDaddy account managers or representatives, with at least two reporting that they later verified with GoDaddy's official office that the calls were not legitimate. One contributor received a call from 02 9169 9769 where the caller claimed to be from GoDaddy, knew their domain and email address, and asked about email sending confirmation - behaviour the contributor found suspicious enough to hang up immediately.

The impersonation attempts are particularly concerning because several reports indicate callers possessed personal information including domain names and email addresses associated with the recipient. This suggests either leaked customer data or deliberate targeting of website owners who are likely to have financial accounts. One contributor noted the caller had an American accent, which may indicate an offshore operation.

What Callers from 02 9169 9769 Claim

Contributors who answered calls from 02 9169 9769 report various tactics used by the callers. Several reports describe callers posing as GoDaddy account managers offering to help with account confirmations, service upgrades, or domain management issues. One contributor reported a caller who claimed to be verifying email sending capabilities but seemed vague about the actual reason for the call. Another contributor experienced a caller who asked directly for login credentials and credit card information, then threatened to shut down a "non-existent business" when refused.

The language used varies - some callers simply ask confirmation questions, while others become more aggressive when questioned. One contributor reported an account manager claiming to call from GoDaddy but calling "non-stop" with seven calls in a single day attempting to upsell services. A voicemail from 0291699769 contained only a name with no explanation of the reason for calling, which several contributors flagged as suspicious.

Silent Calls and Robocall Activity from 02 9169 9769

Beyond impersonation attempts, multiple reports describe silent or disconnecting calls from 02 9169 9769. Four separate reports mention silence when answering, with callers hanging up after a few seconds or waiting silently before disconnecting. One contributor specifically noted this as a likely callback scam - where callers hang up hoping the recipient will return the call, incurring charges or enabling further contact. Another report flagged a robocall hangup pattern, suggesting automated dialling systems may be involved.

These silent calls often occur in clusters. One contributor reported receiving multiple silent calls over several months, with callers waiting on the line briefly before disconnecting. This pattern of repeated silent calls mixed with impersonation attempts suggests an operation testing numbers for active use before deploying impersonation scripts.

Report Patterns and Timing

The 29 community reports for 02 9169 9769 span from August 2024 to March 2026, showing consistent activity over an 18-month period. Reports indicate a mix of legitimate GoDaddy service calls (7 reports from verified customers with genuine GoDaddy accounts) alongside clear impersonation and scam attempts (6 reports of suspicious or fraudulent activity). This overlap makes the number particularly deceptive - some reports confirm GoDaddy does use this number for legitimate service follow-ups, which creates cover for impersonators.

Call timing shows daytime answering (business hours in NSW when the call was taken), which aligns with legitimate business call patterns but also allows impersonators to sound more professional. The frequency varies from isolated single calls to aggressive patterns like the seven calls in one day reported by the account manager attempt. One contributor received a voicemail with no explanation, while others experienced immediate hangups or silent waiting before disconnection.
