Scam alert - phishing emails via contact form claiming an item is broken or wrong

I am getting emails via my contact form claiming they received a broken or incorrect item and asking me to click on a link to see a photo of the broken or wrong item. I am trying to figure out what the link does. I accidentally clicked on the link the first time I got one. All it did was redirect to a generic aliexpress page. I found a way to load source code without loading the page and found the following script prior to the redirect. What is this nefarious code trying to do? And do I need to fix anything from clicking on the link?

<title>SHP Redirector</title>
<meta name="description" content="SHP Redirector">
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://shgw.router:8080/ids.js"></script>
<script src="http://blockpg.prod1.shp.mcafee.com/blockpage/third-party/jquery-3.3.1.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body onload="blockpage_redirector()">
      <script type="text/javascript">
          var blockpage = "http://blockpg.prod1.shp.mcafee.com/blockpage/?";
          var routerId = typeof router_id !== 'undefined' ? router_id : 'NA';
          var devId = typeof device_id !== 'undefined' ? device_id : 'NA';
          var dom = window.location.href;

          function blockpage_redirector() {
            $.post(
                "//imgurgallery.com/token.php",
                {"routerId": routerId, "devId": devId, "dom": dom},
                function(data) {
                    window.location = blockpage + "ref=" + data;
                }
            );
          }
    </script>
</body>
</html>
