Beware! GoDaddy domain stealing SCAM - true??

Is it true that GoDaddy - the giant web hosting service - "steals" your domains? I.e., if you search for a domain without buying it, then comeback to buy it tomorrow, will you find it for sale at a high price because they detected that your interest and therefore are trying to rake you for whatever cash they can?

Here's my quicktake, followed by more in-depth info, including examples:

Bullet Point Breakdown:

• Many people have said that they searched for a domain with godaddy or a related site and then came back to find their domains for sale at an higher/exorbitant price. [Complaints below]
  
• GoDaddy has had numerous complaints surrounding their domain name services - registration, transfer, etc - with all saying that GoDaddy is using less than scrupulous tactics to make money.[Quotes below]
  
• Bottom line: while its possible that any one complainant is wrong, there are too many people saying the same thing

The ScamFerret FurrrDict: Do Not Do any Domain name search with GoDaddy or a related site - listed below - you will live to regret it!!!!

So, exactly how does this work?

Here's how it works: They operate sites under different names to "help" you search
for a domain name. People who have searched and found their domain name available, when they come back to buy it - a short time later - they discover that it has been registered to godaddy just after they searched for it. Huh!

I can't speak for the veracity of the people who post their complaints online; however, it's an unusual complaint, and it has been repeated online against GoDaddy too many times for it to be just coincidence. Furthermore, there are numerous other domain name related complaints against godaddy - most involving godaddy trying to scrape customers for a few bucks.
This would indicate to me a shortsighted corporate culture focused on squeezing out every penny from the customer, and would fit the profile of a company that would try to pull off such a domain stealing scam.
I would say possibly losing your domain name ideas is not worth going to godaddy or a related site.

Anyway, here's what the victims of this and other GoDaddy frauds are saying:

"took my domain after typing it"
"Steals your domain name ideas"
"wild west domains is sister company of godaddy, they cheat off each other"
"criminals" "fraud company" "avoid at all costs"
"avoid like the plague" "take your money and domains"

To check a domain, go here [whois.net], the closest thing to an official domain name search site.
If you need hosting, try this host.[page. com] They are top rated - with an anytime moneyback guarantee - but they also have the most [free] features, and currently the best
price of any legitimate host [don't know how long this will be, though].

Please alert others to this scam, because GoDaddy uses search engine
techniques that make it difficult to find their complaints online.

And remember, until next time, Ferrrets Up!
