Is this an o2 phishing page?

My friend just got a message offering some kind of free calls with o2, but it looks like a phishing scam. Here's the link:http://unlimited-o2.es.vu/

This is something I can't understand. Why would you want a thread deleted when it provides information that others can benefit from?

I see this a lot, and it's one of those things that kinda grinds my gears.

Not as bad as googling for a problem, finding a link, and when you click through to the thread, finding something like...

<problem solved>

Where the original problem text was, with all the original content deleted.

What I meant was, Theres no point in keeping this thread when there is an active thread here on the subject.

Many stupid people click on links like that.
Just do a google search for:
intext:cvv filetype:txt

And see the results from people clicking dodgy looking links.
