I had the same message. The link they wanted me to click on was the same as the one you've posted.
I didn't click on it - the fact it wasn't an NHS or government URL suggested (to me) it was a scam.
I wonder how many will be fooled, especially as the end of self-isolation is being mooted as imminent (28th Feb?) which might lead quite a few people to decide to skip it anyway...

I had just been to lunch with an associate I know very well and haven't seen for years
and I thought bl**dy typical
The link was blocked at work by our firewall
and on my phone it didn't even work
Thanks for your post @vrdiver

I did click on it and the site seems to be down.
