some new scam they got going,… time to investigate this!!

Don't go to that link, it contains malware.

There is already a forum thread on that.  People click on the link, and it steals pretty much everything in their phone.  It then uses the contact list to self replicate.  It garners a lot of downloads that way which makes it look legitimate.
