"Hi, need to generate revenue with your new domain?" - recorded message. Hung up and blocked the number. Recently purchased new domain with GoDaddy....they must have sold my information because since the purchase I've been getting spam emails / phone calls ALL trying to sell me website stuff.

For a 3 month commitment if you're interested in getting more information on setting up revenue action plan for your new domain press 1 if you're not interested press 8 to be opted out?
Whenever you register a domain name, unless you opt (and pay) for the "privacy" feature, your name, address, phone and email are all publicly available. This is an ICANN requirement, and is true no matter what company you register your domain with. There are sites online where you can go get a list of newly-registered domain names and their registrant info. That's where the spammers and telemarketers get their info. So while I'm no great fan of GoDaddy, in this matter it's not a case of them selling your info. That's why I use a PO box and "throw-away" email address and VOIP phone number when registering a new domain. They are all legitimate, but are only temporary and can be changed later. The spammers and telemarketers typically look for new domains, NOT changed info on existing domains.
