Sue. If everything you say is true, it sounds like a good case of fraud.

Meanwhile, deal with a different registrar. I moved most of my stuff off GoDaddy years ago.

I wonder if there’s a domain-name equivalent of Lis Pendens [0] that would prevent the sale of the domain.

Thanks, a bit lost as to what to do as this was a very important domain for me. Both on a professional and emotional level. Do you think I'd still be able to sue despite the fine print?

You'll need to ask a lawyer.

I don't know because I haven't read their fine print recently. Like I said, I moved my domains years ago.

But just because they say something in the fine print doesn't mean it will stand up in court.

Good old contracts of adhesion.
