No I do not recommend clicking on it (but you might get something free …..yeah right). The interesting thing here is the use of the cloud for quick and easy spammer/phishing/whatever-else-malware sites. Futher proof that :

B: The Internet’s underbelly is light years ahead of most IT departments in understanding how to use the cloud.
I could keep going ..just wanted to share something I have seen growing in use over the last year.
