I'm not sure.......

I clicked on the link and it seemed kinda fishy, because when i hover over the link it is http://www.donkeymails.com.l-pages.l-prize...Cnof%72ames%3E%

and i also haven't logged into donkeymails in months!!

Latest Payer: Prize Rebel $80 so far
Treasure Trooper $600+

I don't know I've never dealt with donkeymails and I've heard lots of bad about them. Maybe open a new unverified paypal account and enter that?
And it does seem pretty fishy since anyone can open that page and be the 1,000,000th visitor.
Good luck and let me know what happens

Warning: If you go to that page again, you will see that DonkeyMails no longer exists and was being redirected by the new owner trying to steal people's personal information.

So, definitely DO NOT have anything to do with DonkeyMails. I will update the main thread about DonkeyMails to alert anyone else who might fall victim to the new owners shady tactics.

Thanks for asking, unlimitedx!!

It`s not a good idea to trust these obscure getting rich fast opportunities. Each day the number of "Congratulations! You are the X-th visitor. Click here to claim your prize" or "Free laptops/cameras/shopping cards! Click here to claim your prize" apear. I simply learnt to ignore them.

I get this kind of spam messages everyday. Not only from DonkeyMail, but from a lot of scammers. I ignore them every time and try to be very careful.
There are a lot of phishing attempts too. Many fall into trap because they don't know that mail is a scam, the scammers know how to fake reality so good, it is so easy to get confused.

I've been a member of Donkey Mails for years and never had a problem with them, been paid several times. They are still operating, was there yesterday clicking,lol. The e-mail you recieved is known to them and they have warned their members about it. Has nothing to do with them, just like the fake paypal and E-Gold letters claiming you need to update your info...

Actually got that message once months ago and again last week. Always check the link address like you did, even then your best to just goto the program and see if there are any notices posted.
