phishing link using Google...

Out of curiosity, why would someone use Google as the
start point of a phishing link? Is it just so something
familiar is near the front for anyone looking at it?

<a
href="http://www.google.pt/url?sa=U&start=4&q=http://203.52.104.73/images/.../.pcb.peoples.com/";>www.peoples.com</a>

It works if the initial URL is www.google.com too.
