I hadn't even come across it yet but holy hell that's a scammer/malicious actors paradise.

On Kbin's end the thread ID is 57540 and the appended text is simply a hint to what is on the other side of the link (i.e. it doesn't change anything). This is standard practice and you see it a lot across the web
