It's clear that the user  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=958553)is advertising this service because he's claiming that he was able to withdraw funds. Also, from looking at his trust history, you can see that he has done a similar thing in the past.

The site claims that you can get free coins whenever you use the promo code, but obviously that's just a way to make people install their software. The downloadable .zip contain two files, both seem to contain malicious code:
