The link in the email goes to a legimate (but hacked site) and then attempt to load one of the following three scripts:
[donotclick]algmediation.org/inventory/symphony.js
[donotclick]apptechgroups.net/katharine/bluejacket.js
[donotclick]ctwebdesignshop.com/marquetry/bucket.js


From there the victim is redirected to a malware landing page at [donotclick]tootle.us/topic/latest-blog-news.php hosted on 23.92.22.75 (Linode, US) which is yet another hijacked GoDaddy domain (there are some more on this server, listed below in italics).


Recommended blocklist:
