After looking at your post, I checked my mail. I also received the same e-mail. I guess that quite confirms that it is not real. What are the odds that we are all the 1,000,000th customer? I think that they are just sending out the e-mails to try to phish for info.

Hello Venkatesh, that would have been so wonderful if you had actually won. I did get to read what everyone said so i think it is a scam. just like the yahoo one, which i win almost every month LOL. and since Donkeymails is a legal site iam sure it sounded authentic. But lets hope you really win some day. By the way i won about 1,00,000 in Euro online something LOL

I had a feeling this one was a scam because the email sender address is not the usual that Donkey Mail uses to send their emails. It says that they award the prize to the 1000000th visitor, so how come they give put 4 prizes of $400.00. It is just another scam trying to get Donkey Mail members to "upgrade" so that they can get the money. I hope nobody is deceived by this scam. It's a good thing you started this discussion to protect yourself and other Donkey Mail members. Thank you.

Well, that's cool, you might just have try. Anyway, it should be OK to just tell them your Account Code instead of the PWD as well.
With you good luck and could get the 400 $ in the end.
With kind regards,Andy

You would be quite right to delete it. You will know thats its a spoof when they want paypal, or any other account details. Be very wary as you could be one of many unfortunate people that have their accounts wiped out by scammers like these, and it does happen.

I am a chinese student,and I don not think I am a lucky person.If I were you,I would not trust it.I have got the same experince with you.My blog received a massage that it claimed I would got a tablet computer and 4000RMB.Then it let me upload my address , teltphone and card number.I put a phony number in it. Then, it let me send 2000RMB to a personal visa.It obviously a skin game. I do not trust it.
