I am a member of donkeymails and I just received this email: Congratulations! You are the 1,000,000th DonkeyMails visitor! YOU WON $400! Recently, we have reached 144,000 members. DonkeyMails has over 4,000,000 visits monthly, so we decided to give cash prizes every 1,000,000th visitor every month. This month, you are the one of 4 winners who will get $400 from DonkeyMails! Your prize ($400) will be transferred directly to your e-Gold, PayPal or AlertPay account. Please click on the link below to collect your money: LINK Sincerely, The DonkeyMails Team I am wondering if this is scam as I never heard of it. Do you think it's scam or should I click on the link in the email and see what happens? Thank you for your time and your answer.

I also got same email and it is clear scam as you can see we are member of www.donkeymails.com and in email link it shows some donkeyemail-prize.com which is non existing domain name. second important think is that why they will disturbute $ 400 to member when they are sending email links worth few sends. they must have distributed money among members so that everyone must be happy. anyway i have deleted email and forget about it as one of the scam email.

What you should do is go to the site and see if it has been put in whatever site you use there. The site should have a notice on the front page of the site about it. And it would be in your paypal or whatever. If it is true, Congratulations!

i've received such kind of emails before.but i just delete it immediately.i know i won't get a lot of money by doing nothing.i dont believe it at all. i guess they send these kind of emails to groups of people,coz last time you said you received an email from yahoo,which said you earn something,i received it too.that is a problem.so now i even dont waste my minute to finish that kind of letter.

Hi, I have just checked my mail and I have one to. Went to check Donkeymails and there is nothing mentioned of the prizes they are awarding, so I think it's a scam considering I have not even been on there for around 2 weeks.
