Sounds pretty normal. Retro advertising.

Basically what happens is, it's a fake scam link. When you click it, it signs you out and goes back to the 'habbo' homepage, but really its on their site. As you enter your details on what looks like www.habbo.com you are actually giving out your details to a hacker. Also there's another type where it downloads a keylogger to your computer. If you have been on this site, I recommend scanning for viruses and changing your email plus password.

Oh, a phisher. Didn't know people still made those. I know of some really realistic ones that use frame grabbing. Their pretty legit. Just make sure the URL is habbo.com common sense goes a long way.
