Well, I think it is going a little bit too far. I mean, it is a link. If a user is stupid enough to click on a link from an email that says "Hey, click here to make 100,000 now! ...in less than 3 days" or something like that, then it would to them to get a little bit smarter. A link requires a click from the user to be executed. So, it requires a visual decision before clicking on it. There shouldn't be such security at that level.
