    Well we can't say for sure since we don't have the link.

    However, it does definitely look like a phishing attempt. General rule: don't click links from people you don't know.

    Fixed that for you. Friends can be hijacked too.

    links from real friends are the most dangerous indeed, for those are most often more trusted for you.
