Stinks to me (punctuation, grammar etc.), and 100Gb sounds unlikely. The link didn't work.

Eeeeeeeek... why did you follow the link? It's a phishing scam. Easy to check by googling a few of the words in the email.

OK, OK, but can I pick up something nasty by just looking at a site?

Yes, a homepage hijacker which can be hard to remove. It changes your homepage in your browser.

Or you might be tempted to fill in a username and password.
