The link in the email uses the Twitter redirection service to go to [donotclick]t.co/9PsnfeL8hh then [donotclick]x.co/1neIk then [donotclick]activegranite.com/vocatives/index.html and finally to a set of three scripts as follows:
[donotclick]02aa198.netsolhost.com/frostbite/hyde.js
[donotclick]96.9.28.44/dacca/quintilian.js
[donotclick]cordcamera.dakisftp.com/toothsome/catch.js

From this point the victim ends up at the malicious payload at [donotclick]abemuggs.com/topic/able_disturb_planning.php which is a hijacked GoDaddy domain hosted on 74.207.253.139 (Linode, US).

At the moment, I can only see abemuggs.com active on 74.207.253.139, however other domains in the same GoDaddy account may be hijacked as well. If you see unexpected traffic going to the following domains then it may be malicious:
abemuggs.com
abesmugs.com
abemugs.com
andagency.com
mytotaltitle.com

I would strongly recommend the following blocklist:
74.207.253.139
96.9.28.44
abemuggs.com
02aa198.netsolhost.com
cordcamera.dakisftp.com
