Hi XXXXXXXXXX,

Presumably clicking on the links will allow a trojan to be installed.

Don't they realise their real email address will show up?

    They don't care. They know enough people will just click the link anyway. That don't need everyone to click for it to be a success, just a small % will be enough.

    Also the legitimate companies don't help by often sending emails from obscure domains, so people become accustomed to seeing strange addresses.
