Warning, don't use GoDaddy!
Well I am a GoDaddy customer since 2012 or so, I can not recall any event that happened wrong with me. Their customer service is one if the best team of not the best. They always go extra mile to solve a problem. I certainly doubt they have scammed you.
This hosting, domain, buying privacy, SSL, email service, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited database, renewal, FTP, email notification, billings etc etc are too much to understand for someone who is not tech savvy. Once you know what you are handling then dealing with other party becomes easy.
Contacted them on social media
Why would you contact them there? Contact them through the contact number in their website or chat with them from there directly. In my long years of experience with them I never even visited their social media, contacting them from there comes later.
They have been unable to provide any receipt as proof that they did indeed give a refund, and the lady on the phone yelled "We don't do that". Shady business practice, to not have invoices of any sort.
Check your account billing area. You will find every possible invoices there.
I strongly caution Bitcointalk users against using GoDaddy,
Don't caution something that lacks your understanding.
use any other service that takes Crypto instead.
Good advice but what guarantee do you give they will not have poor customer service and poor business experience?
This includes the ~$5+ cost of the domain, plus a couple hundred dollars for time wasted on dozens on phone calls, as well as the cost of making those calls (phone bills), and of course, the emotional distress the situation has caused me ($495 tops)
You are too annoying here.
Anyway, I am sorry you had all these happened with you but I seriously doubt the fault from there side is much than you. I can guarantee that you have no clue what you have done and wasted those money and time.
I used them for years - actually over a decade - and never had any problems with them other than they frequently wanted to renew my services.
Seems like both of us experienced the same. And I tell you what - it's true about them.
The mistake was probably on your end.
Perfect!
I highly believe that. OP did not have any clue about what he was doing now came here to blame them.
