What happened:  Today at 3:54 EST  I received a Private message from tygr1269tygr  (u=1103021)   informing me there was a reply waiting for me in a thread from him.  

I clicked the link (foolish) provided in the message and it lead me to a thread but there was no reply.  

Checking back I noticed the link was not a normal Bitcointalk link.  Check code below.

Additional Notes: I believe this user was trying to steal my account, although I am unsure the effects of clicking this link, I have already changed my password just in case.  Any insight on what this link might have done would be helpful as well.
