Take a look at the whois info for this domain:
FREECHROMETHEMES.COM
Google Inc.
NY
MHT, New York 52423
United States
+90.1234567890
It appears to be someone who manages to register this domain under the name Google, Inc. Only that the ZIP isn’t in NY, MHT says nothing to me, +90 is the country code for Turkey, the phone # is funny, the site is hosted by Hostgator, the site admin has a Hotmail email address, and there is an Adsense ad on the site itself.
http://whois.domaintools.com/freechromethemes.com
I wouldn’t link to that page which claims to be official Google but is obviously fake. I also wouldn’d download stuff from there (it may or may not be harmful, I haven’t tried it).
Whether it is harmful or not, it does look like a fake and that is reason enough for me. Why register a site under a fake address when you want to offer an honest service/run an honest business? Come on.
