Just received an email with the subject Comparing E-Business Suite and Fusion (ERP Cloud). I had a look at the hyperlink I was meant to click on (right click - copy hyperlink). This was what was behind the link:
Wow. Got to be the weirdest link I've ever come across. I guess it may be genuine, but no way I'm clicking on it. Sender blocked and email deleted.

I just started using sendgrid to send bulk emails/notices to our customers, and they have a "click tracking" feature that they can tell if your recipients click any links in your email. This turns my www.website.com link into a ton of random crap, just like yours.
I had to turn the feature off because I don't know why any customer would want to click on a link like that if they looked at the real address. Just like bit.ly links, while they can be genuine and can be trying to be for a "good cause". You just cant tell anymore nowadays, if it's not a simple domain, I'm probably not clicking it, better safe then sorry if you don't trust the sender.
Yeah, I built my own click tracking into links. I take the CustomerID and mix it together with the EmailBatchID, so they get a link like 599cd.com/?ID=38143X19123 - which looks normal to them and has my domain name in it.
But yeah, just google that domain name and you'll see it's likely phishing.

Pasted the entire URL into Google (didn't want to type it. LOL). Here's what I got back.
