According to the Bit.ly statistics for that link, so far it�s gone out around 198 times since the middle of December. Having said that, the stats might need updating because here�s a live view of the link being sent to all and sundry. Screenshot for posterity:

It takes you to hdrollyvideo(dot)co(dot)cc/9/ which forwards the user to rolly(dot)com, a website asking for subscription fees in order to watch movies online.

The site says you can get a month long subscription for $39.90 USD and access a database packed with 10,000 movies (including many which are only just popping up in movie theaters....hmmm), but let�s take a look at some feedback before getting our wallets out:
Web of Trust: Some terrible feedback here, everything from �hacked Twitter accounts used for spam� to someone who apparently paid only to get �five pages of html� back in return.
Complaints galore: people who signed up and are looking for refunds but can�t get hold of anybody, cards charged before the �trial period� expires, movies downloaded in English but playing in Spanish�oh boy.
Webutation: More mentions of �hacked twitter accounts� and problems trying to cancel.
Granny gets charged for a trial: Ouch. Not only that, but she seems to be having problems stopping them from taking repeat payments.
You know what? Just go the cinema and give this one a miss. Given the complaints seen so far, your wallet will thank you for it...
