The attacked got the last 4 from Paypal and Godaddy asked him to guess two more digits.

Guess from a fairly limited set as well, it wasn't all numbers 00-99.

Something isn't right. They ask for the 2 digits before the last 4, and then let him guess the first two.

I'm really interested to see godaddy's response to this...I'm sure paypal records their interactions, I would imagine godaddy does as well. Hell, I called Avis about something 2 months later with a dispute and they pulled the recording to make sure I wasn't BS'ing them.
