Is this miles buying deal from United real?
I found this on the web. Is this real? If you enter it from the regular United portal, the price is different.

I just hope that this is not some scam website trying to trick me into giving out my CC numbers.

Yes, it's real. Copy http://www.united.com/buymilesmailoffer into your browser and it will redirect you to that link. So unless United.com has been compromised for 2 weeks, it's the real thing.
Note however that you can buy miles at 2.1cpm if you have status by booking long-haul flights and using the award accelerator to buy 30k-45k RDMs. (You can cancel any UA flight for a full refund within 24hrs, while RDMs are nonrefundable.)
