How do you know they were not directing you to a link on a web server
that they controlled?  All they would have to do is watch the server
logs for somebody accessing a particular resource within a minute or
two of their giving you the link.  If there was only one person doing
so within that window, they could make the (reasonable) inference that
it was you.
