New phishing email?

I received an email from donkeymails.com this evening telling me that I won $400. The money will be transferred to my paypal, e-gold or alertpay account as soon as specify which one I want it sent to.
Somehow something stinks here. For beginners, this email account the email was sent to wasn't registered with donkeymails. This is, however, linked to my paypal account.
I clicked the link to see what happens next and sure enough, the next window asked me to list down my paypal, e-gold or alertpay email account. Well, that's just smells fishier since donkeymails have my paypal email account on their record.
Further studying of the page also produce several faults in the graphics but the one that decided it for me is that when I clicked the Home icon, it opens up in a new window to the real donkeymails.com homepage.
I have written to donkeymail to confirm and awaiting their reply. Meanwhile I thought I better put out an alert to warn everyone.

I have gotten the same email, good to hear that someone else thinks its a scam too.
Btw since I'm a pretty new user at Donkeymail, can anyone of you tell me if it is really working, getting money paid out etc from them? I mean you get like 0,01 cent or something per mail, so it hardly seems worth it as it is, let alone if you do not know you'll ever get a payout!

I've recieved this email. It is fake and it's not from Donkeymails, even Donkeymails stated that email was not from them. So whoever is doing this, is tricking a lot of people. This fake email also askes you to pay money. I would not fall for it.
