GoDaddy domain phishing email

Just spotted this GoDaddy domain phishing email in one of my accounts, I don't have a GoDaddy account, the secure.godaddy url within the body of the email actually goes to this url, (spaces added to prevent accidental clicking):

http:// m a r k k t y .t35.com/cp.htm

The sender IP address was: 82.128.80.248 = Nigeria (Lagos)

Quote:
From: "GoDaddy.com" <alert@godaddy.com>
To: undisclosed-recipients

I've had 5 of these this morning, all for a bulk .info purchase totalling $357 - They look very convincing apart from all the links go to a .ua site.
