Ebay Phish

I got a message re a charge placed on my paypal account. I clicked on the link that said deny payment and was directed to a nonexistant URL.
I realized it was a scam and closed the window. I did not give my details out. My question is, could clicking on this link allow the sender to insert something into my hard disk that would allow them to dredge my hard disk. Remember I did not open an attachememnt, merely a spuriuous link.
Thanks
