Not really, it happened to me two weeks back. The domain I searched for on GoDaddy was not available after 2 hours and when I did a who is look up it was registered by Synergy Wholesale Pty Ltd another registrar.
My suspect is that there could be some triggers that would go off based on the domain name you search and other parameters and then if its something they are interested in then it could probably automatically register it or send it to another registrar for registration via an api or something.

The domain I searched for on GoDaddy Of course it not stopped, it is still happening and not only with mentioned registrar, one should never check potential good domains using godaddy and similar sites without buying it straight away, otherwise you might lose it or be scammed by having to buy it on higher price.
- ryanlol 8y agoDid you try to resolve that domain at any point before it was registered? Odds are that you got fucked by passivedns, not godaddy.
