It is not clear where the extra asterisks came from, but the syntax
should be
*/10 * * * * curl ....
Strictly speaking, it is not 10 minute intervals; it is every multiple
of 10. So if you save your crontab at 7:09, the job will still run at
7:10, not 7:19--it won't figure out the current time and run every ten
minutes from then. (Nobody here mentioned it, but I've seen it come up
in other contexts.)

What message? If you are hoping to see the curl output, then ...

...you need to check root's mailbox. If you haven't checked there yet
you should do so. If you want to do something else with the output, you
need to specify what that is.
If it's not there, then as the previous poster mentioned check
/var/log/cron.
