I want to let you know that I feel that I have been a victim of bait and switch and will be contacting the appropriate consumer protection agency regarding this unfair and unethical way I have been treated in this situation. I purchased a domain and the confirmation of the purchase was sent.
I confirmed with Patricia that the domain was available as I have proof of paying for it. She went on to tell me how valuable the domain is and that I should be paying so much more for it. She said I should be paying thousands for it. She took my credit card information and I paid for it as evidence of my invoice and transaction confirmation number. Then she ask to just put me on a brief hold. She came back to the line and went on to say that I could not buy it and that she is refunding my money.
This is a clear bait and switch which the evidence of this purchase invoice and the voice conversation recording of my purchase will bear out. If I am not contacted by GoDaddy within a week I will be filing a formal complaint with FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection and spreading the word throughout the net including ripoffreport.com, BBB.com and other appropriate websites of this deceptive bait and switch tactic.

@iniholdings what type of domain purchase was it? A registration? Premium listing?
Hi Justin- It was a .com domain registration. The order number that is in the original post is the actual one I received after I purchased the domain.
@iniholdings what was the price quoted and much much were they going to charge? If you're a new customer you can use the link in my signature to get a cheap .com.
