I think you all know what is Donkeymail.com. It is a PTC which pays you for reading emails. It has been 10-12 days since it has happened and I have not tried contact the administrator yet because of lack of time and I am a little lazy too. That caused me to change my passwords for each and every account. I have changed my account password for myLot also. I am these days a little scared!

Are!! I thought I have added comment to your response yesterday only! Neverthe less.. Sorry for making you confused with my post. Actually what happened was that I have been using this site for more than 1 and a half years and I have made not much but something from this site and I started liking this site but 10-12 days earlier I tried logging in and found out that I can not log-in. I guess someone hacked my account because when I tried to use my email id also to reset password, it wasn't working at all! Passwords must be secured!

no, I have been using that site 4-5 times in a week. I don't think I got banned due to being idle for long!

i am not in donkey mails and I don't have to worry about this.But your warning should be taken into account for any site we are in.Well,sites which are going to go scam sooner or later are reported to be hacked.I remember this nomincashout site which experienced this and went forever.So,we need not mess it up with mylot.

You have done right thing with changing your passwords, now if you have the option of checking your log in ip at donkeymail(like in neobux) check the ip and report it to donkeymail admin. This will help you and as well as the site owners.

I can't tell them the ip because I have used this login id from several places, like my house, my home town, my office or even from cyber cafe. So, IP thing would be difficult. Today i will email the admin!

Hi, sanuanu. Donkeymails hacked??? I wonder who is responsible for this?? I know that this site was crashing! I wonder if it being hacked had anything to do with this?? This site sure was acting up lately!! I have not changed my passwords at all. I did not know that this was taking place. I hope that the administrator can tackle this situation fast!

I had a similar thing happen to me on Microworkers. I logged in to find my account suspended and went on to investigate and discovered that a hacker got hold of my password from a job and, because it was the same as the Microworkers one, got into my account and started using my money to pay for jobs for himself! Fortunately Microworkers admin was very helpful and restored my account and returned my money as soon as they learnt what had happened. I too had to change all my passwords because; by this stage I was a little paranoid!
