I registered a domain name from Godaddy.com using my friend's card. Later after 8 hours I got a message that my account may get cancelled within 48 hours along with all purchases if I didnt validate my purchase process. They want me to send the a scanned copy of my friend's driving license or passport. I can send that and that is not a problem. This is a good effort, but why don't they notify this issue when I was using my friend's card for purchasing? By checking the difference in the name of registrant and the name of card holder, they can atleast give a warning message about this issue during payment. Now I have to bug my friend to send me this copy within today. This is not a good business strategy.

This is probably becuase their fruad system or people who check do not check the account till after a few hours have passed.

Call them first, GoDaddy has check in place on the system that pick up certain thigns with a registration and if it detects a problem it then goes to a human to check up on it and then action would be taken.

Call them up, see what the problem is. It might be due to you using a differnt cc on your account.

Don't blame goDaddy, this is your mistake! you should not use others card for purchasing stuff from your account, this can lead you in trouble.

This is probably just their fraud system kicking in - chaulk it up to Steve's Law - if it can go smooth, it won't.

This has happened to me already, don't let it frighten you. I made a mistake when purchasing some domains by entering my information alongside my sister's credit card. I got the same message as you did. I just changed my info to her's and everything was OK. I also send scanned copy of her passport just to make sure everything was OK.
