I don't know; not really inclined to check in detail. But if you
download the link with curl or a similar tool, you'll see a few lines
of HTML with a meta http-equiv="refresh" pointing to what seems like a
marketing website.

My guess: Harmless, though annoying. But if you're worried about
malware, running a scan with your favourite malware scanner is never a
bad idea.
