I recieved av Security Warning from my Internet Security Program F-Secure about an email from Gearfest selling XBOX accessories for a discount.

Mail: Xbox <xbox@engage.xbox.com>

Link: http://click.engage.xbox.com/

Is this a proper Microsoft webpage or a scam. If proper, why is F-secure warning about visiting it?
