It's kind of wild that "SHADY URL" is something phishers want to use. But, in the end I guess it's all about finding a domain that isn't tied to them?

Similar to 419 scams, shady links/propositions are a good way to select the people who are easy to trick.

Yeah that's my best guess. I was shocked how much it was used for scams. Might also be possible the link is so suspicious looking it's actually more intriguing to click.
