[LINK] Question re spoofing with bad reply address

I've had two email returned advisories where my address has been 
spoofed (see below).
I can't figure out the the motivation for this. There was an embedded 
link in the message (no I didn't click on it), but the whole email 
aspect is fake.
What is the payoff to the sender?

pS: I did have my email hacked about a month ago, for real, so I'm 
careful to look at the headers now to see if it has happened again. 
Doesn't appear to be in this case as it's not originating from my email server.
