The link in the email is meant to go to [donotclick]senior-tek.com/tenth/index.html but the "Full story" link has a typo in and goes to senior-tekcom/tenth/index.html (without the dot) instead which obviously fails. This site then tries to load these three scripts:
[donotclick]crediamo.it/disburse/ringmaster.js
[donotclick]stages2saturn.com/scrub/reproof.js
[donotclick]www.rundherum.at/rabbiting/irritate.js
