The domain CJF.com was one of two domains that got bid up to lofty heights. The domain was at $77,777 and met reserve. Go Daddy has adjusted the auction and now the high bid is $5,005 with the reserve not met.
The owner was nice enough to leave a comment on our blog.

CJF is mine and I'm not pleased that my auction was hijacked by these bidders. There appeared to be some real bidders up to the reserve and then it went bonkers.
I hope Godaddy takes care of it quickly or I would even be happy to have them strike the bids that they feel are not legitimate while the auction still has several days left.
I don't get why somebody would spend $4.99 on an account at TDNAM to do this knowing their account is going to be closed when they don't pay.
Update from GD:
Dear Sir/Madam,
We attempted to reach you by phone, but we were not able to reach you. There were bids placed on the domain CJF.com you have listed for sale. We were not able to verify those bidders and they have been canceled. You may continue to let the auction run its course or we can cancel the auction at your request.
Please let us know if we can assist you in any other way.
Regards,
GoDaddy Aftermarket Support
The auction ends 8/11/12
Hopefully they will soon adopt a verification system like namejet has done with it’s high bid auction listings.
