openurl.info's domain registration looks up to date...Registered to NISO through 12-May-2010. Last updated 10-May-2009. I'm going to speculate (with very little basis) that someone managed to hijack the DNS by pointing the record's name server entries somewhere other than where they're supposed to be. Hence the redirection to a fraudulent parking page.
