Generally, when it's a real ad, I put it down to up and coming young PR types getting suckered in my fast talking, scummy, advertising companies who are perfectly willing to do all of the things that the reputable company tells you they won't do. Mostly though, it's just phishing.
Joshua, you have got to *stop* clicking on those links. Very often, they aren't even legitimate emails and are deliberate attempts to gain access to your system. The number one source of malware on home systems is phishing emails like the one you've described here.
