Is someone gaming Google "Web Clips"?

In GMail today, I noticed that the "web clip" at the top of the list of emails just said:

Dictionary.com Word of the Day - Presented By: - 18 hours ago

Unclear as to what that meant, I clicked on it, and found myself on what looked like a cleverly-disguised ad for one of these "work-at-home" marketing scams, complete with misspellings:

"We knew we had to do something, so we put our heads together and started trying online job opporuntities."

Can we trust Web Clips any more?
