phishing text?

I received a text on my android phone from an email account (applestoreaccounts.us@keithurban.us) that I suspect is a phishing expedition. The message is as follows:

-Account is_Blocked!!. Click_ here to respond_!. goushengge.com/sd/info.applestoreaccounts.html


I clicked on the link and was sent to a web page (http://farmasitron/qwe/appph) which stated the following :

Apple store
